Setting Sail with Ahoy! Panda: Crafting a Creative Ecommerce Experience
Ahoy! Panda, a family-run venture, is setting sail on a new adventure with their vibrant ecommerce store. After their beloved ‘Cielo’ shop in Glastonbury had to close due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the family behind Ahoy! Panda decided to take their creativity online. They needed a website that could not only reflect their unique brand but also offer a seamless shopping experience for their loyal customers.
Ahoy! Panda wanted an ecommerce website that could showcase their bespoke products, such as crochet items, candles, and pottery, while also providing easy-to-manage stock control for their handmade inventory. The store had to be as user-friendly for the family behind the scenes as it is for the customers who browse it. Additionally, they wanted features like loyalty points, trade account discounts, newsletter sign-ups, and rewards to encourage customer engagement.
We created a dynamic, all-singing-and-dancing ecommerce website on a robust CMS that allows Ahoy! Panda to easily update categories, manage stock, and add new products as their creative collections grow. The website’s user-friendly design streamlines stock management, which is crucial for handmade items that require close attention to inventory levels.
To ensure the store could grow alongside the business, we integrated features like:
- Loyalty Points: Rewarding customers for every purchase, keeping them engaged and encouraging repeat business.
- Trade Account Discounts: A custom solution for B2B clients, offering exclusive pricing for wholesale orders.
- Newsletter Signups with Rewards: Encouraging customers to sign up with enticing perks, building a community of engaged shoppers.
The Results: A Seamless, Scalable Online Presence
The Ahoy! Panda ecommerce site is now ready to cater to both retail and trade customers. With a design that’s as playful and unique as the products they sell, and backend functionality that makes managing their business a breeze, Ahoy! Panda can focus on what they love—creating bespoke, handmade items for their customers. Their new online platform not only reflects their fun and eco-friendly ethos but also sets them up for sustainable growth as they continue to expand their product offerings.
