The Challenge

Spa Order faced significant issues with their ecommerce platform, Shopify Plus, in terms of delivering dynamic, personalized messages.

Their platform, Shopify Plus, served multiple customer profiles, including wholesale, private label customers, and smaller spa estheticians.

The challenges that Spa Order faced were manifold:

  • Difficulty with dynamic messaging: Struggled to display targeted messaging for different audience segments. Moreover, there were various customer types: wholesale, private label, and smaller spas/estheticians
  • Time-consuming site updates: Updating product pages and header banners was problematic, as it was also challenging to keep up with frequent promotions (5-6 big promotions monthly)
  • Reliance on development work: Major changes often required developer involvement, while manually editing Shopify theme risked breaking the site unexpectedly.
  • Limited promotional visibility: Promo messaging mainly confined to homepage, though customers entering via other pages (email links, SEO) could miss current promotions.
  • Lack of personalization capabilities: Spa Order struggled to target different audience segments across the site. This limited the ability to customize messaging for various customer groups
  • Risky last-minute changes: Making quick promotional updates could lead to errors, leading to broken operations and lost revenue.
