Business Challenge

The website was developed using Shopify; however, due to Shopify’s functionality limitations, the customer desired to add more features to it. They were unable to effectively sell their products and hence desired to push beyond limitations in order to reach potential customers and raise brand recognition.

Business Solution

The client wanted to take some additional services to make their website customized as well as feature-rich. We’ve helped them implement their ideas and strategies by integrating some customized features to the existing Shopify platform such as Klaviyo integration, Wish list launch, improved SEO capabilities, and improvements to Product Filter and search. We’ve also worked on:

Page Build-ups – Pages of the website were created and customized using dynamic widgets to improve the UI/UX and overall appearance. And can be easily manageable from the admin side.

Collection Customization– Sold items are removed from the list, but individual products (if popular) with high demand are kept in the widgets to sustain consumer contact.

Wishlist– As Shopify does not provide the wishlist feature we have integrated the third-party application Wishlist plus and also made some customization to the application to make it more feasible with current design and features of the website. This app allows customers to create a personalized collection of products they want to buy or save for future reference.

It’s based on the principle of ‘special collection for particular consumers,’ in which the collection is given automatically based on the user’s search history and shopping history.

Custom App– This permitted a third-party API integration with the Sign of the Times website, enabling them to offer a drop-shipping service, including inventory syncing.

Marketing Platforms – We helped the client to employ marketing tools to efficiently and successfully expand the audience reach and increase revenue. Wearesott maximizes growth and scalability by utilizing several marketing channels such as Facebook, Google, Pinterest, Instagram, and Klaviyo.
