Overview

Establishing and growing the brand while improving ecommerce performance over more 8 Years

THE CHALLENGE:

In 2013, Fairy Tales, a small boutique with hard-to-find collectibles, decided to expand its reach online. They teamed up with Eric (while he was at VisionFriendly.com) to build their initial e-commerce presence and establish a brand identity. Over the last decade, their partnership has continued, focusing on strategic consultation and even a full brand update in 2020.

THE APPROACH:

We designed their first website into our own proprietary ecommerce solution, 123-Kaboom, which allowed us to customize the experience extensively. In addition to the User Interface Design discussions, we also talked extensively about some of the Critical Content Strategy needed for their market. As one of the sole distributors of some of the most sought after collectibles, the content strategy revolved around making sure that these products were properly featured and then building an email base around new releases. We also employed many SEO best practices to ensure that they came up on searches for these rare figurines.

Over the years we ended upgrading the ecommerce platform to NopCommerce to better handle the extensive size of their catalog. We met for regular site audits which revealed multiple ways that their user experience was not meeting best practice for ecommerce User Interface design (UI/UX). We were able to identify several confusion / distractions points along the path that could be improved.

We assisted in rebranding the logo and print collateral, and also wanted to connect the user experience online to their in store rebranding. So we added the mint stripes from their gift bags and incorporated these into the website and email campaigns.

THE RESULTS

Fairy Tales reported improvements to their performance throughout the next 7+ years. Dramatically improving the revenue of the store and the website with each passing year. They have established themselves as the industry leader on a few of the most sought after collectibles. With the very strong market presence they have developed, and their more curated brand style/story, they are primed for ongoing growth and improvement.
