Health and Beauty Shopify Plus Design & Development
Lee Stafford, a well-known hair care company, contacted us to switch their e-commerce platform to Shopify Plus. We transferred 60,000 customer profiles and more than 1,000 URL redirects throughout the difficult conversion.
Along with the migration we worked with Lee Stafford on their revamp and implemented creative UX strategies.
By integrating branding across all marketing platforms, our bespoke theme development and Klaviyo email flows gave Lee Stafford's clients a fully immersive experience.
We had to coordinate our design and development with Lee Stafford's rebranding process while we were working on the project. This required us to ensure that deadlines were met and coordinated with ongoing product releases and promotions.
We also developed a bespoke SAP solution to allow for streamlined product fulfilment.
With Shopify Plus' specialised features, we aim to help brands maximise the potential of their website and explore for market prospects. We take pleasure in being a proactive collaboration with the brands we work with. Some of the project highlights are:
- Sophisticated cross-sell
- Bundle Builder
- Loyalty Points & Rewards
- Bespoke customer features ‘Find Your Look’
- Subscriptions
- Frequently Bought With
- Product Comparison
Increasing Conversions On Shopify
Improved Purchasing Experiences – We developed a product comparison tool which allowed users to compare product benefits within the PDPs. Adding subscription-based purchasing, on both the PDP level and a dedicated bundle builder page, offers users multiple routes to purchase and subscribe.
Global Commerce – Lee Stafford was launched exclusively in Boots in the UK and is still sold there today. The brand continues to grow and is now available in over 30 countries across the world including Germany, Brazil and the USA.
While Lee Stafford items are accessible through the company’s new online store, we developed a ‘Where to Buy’ function to assist clients in other locations in locating a retailer that sells Lee Stafford products.
Product Comparison – Another feature we were thrilled to offer was the ability to compare products on individual product pages. This encourages shoppers to discover new things on the Lee Stafford website while they shop.
Frequently Bought Together – Another important feature we developed was the ‘Frequently Bought With’ section, which adds an extra degree of personalisation to a customer’s basket, allowing product discovery and assisting in the conversion of one-time purchases into lifetime consumers.
