About

Lumia Coffee is a high-end coffee brand based in Kuwait that specializes in a range of coffee products, including whole beans, ground coffee, drip kits, Nespresso capsules, cold brew, and instant coffee.

Summary

Lumia Coffee had a successful website but struggled with mobile commerce due to low conversion rates on mobile devices, despite having high traffic. They noticed significant issues like high cart abandonment and lower engagement on their mobile website. This highlighted the need for an app to strengthen their mobile strategy and better engage the growing number of mobile shoppers while cultivating their local community.

Shopney addressed these challenges by developing a custom mobile app for Lumia Coffee. Their app delivers a seamless shopping experience consistent with their desktop and mobile sites. It includes a user-friendly interface, personalized product recommendations, in-app chat support, automated push notifications, and strategic marketing integrations. These features are designed to improve mobile conversions, increase customer loyalty, and enhance overall engagement.

Challenges

The trend of shopping on mobile devices is growing rapidly, with surveys showing that nearly 79% of consumers now shop online using their mobile devices. However, adapting to this shift has been difficult for many brands.

While eCommerce websites are being optimized to improve sales, the average conversion rate remains between 2-4%. This rate drops to 1-2% on mobile devices due to smaller screens.

Lumia Coffee, a premium coffee retailer, attracts significant traffic from both desktop and mobile devices due to its high-quality offerings in a niche market. While their desktop website meets industry conversion rates, their mobile conversions have been lower than their expectations.

To address this, Lumia Coffee looked into making mobile shopping easier for their customers and started planning to build a mobile app for their Shopify store.

Low conversion rates and lack of engagement

Recognizing the growing dominance of mobile apps in eCommerce, they aimed to broaden their customer reach with a top-notch mobile app to:

  • Create an owned sales channel with improved conversion rates
  • Provide a better and more personalized shopping experience for their customers
  • Enhance and streamline customer interactions with their brand
  • Increase loyalty and communication with customers to boost retention rates

Certain that a mobile app was crucial for reaching their goals, Lumia Coffee initially had concerns about finding the right mobile app builder to fulfill their needs. Their search led them to Shopney, known for its excellent user interface, comprehensive features, simplicity, and dedication to helping businesses grow. These qualities eliminated their concerns and convinced them that Shopney was the perfect choice for creating an outstanding mobile shopping experience.

From the very first moment of onboarding to the mobile app design and launch, Shopney was so smooth. But what strikes me the most about Shopney is its easy-to-use dashboard and UX.

Additionally, they've introduced app-exclusive campaigns and offers, enhancing the app's attractiveness and improving customer retention and loyalty.

Building an on-brand mobile app

Lumia Coffee was able to sync their store data in real-time with our no-code mobile app builder instantly as they installed Shopney on their Shopify store. This provided the brand with immediate access to essential store elements such as product images, videos, descriptions, pricing, and more, all within our Design Editor.

We collaborated closely with Lumia Coffee to ensure the mobile app's design was consistent with their desktop and mobile sites, maintaining a unified branding approach for their customers. With our user-friendly drag-and-drop editor, equipped with features that help boost conversion, they easily designed and optimized key pages like the home page, product and collection pages, and checkout process to meet consumers' expectations.

This included the addition of key functionalities like personalized discounts, multi-language and multi-currency support, in-app chat, key integrations, and more. Right from the launch, our customer success team focused on establishing the primary elements essential for driving success for Lumia and maximizing satisfaction for their customers:

  • In-app chat - We implemented custom automation through our in-app chat feature to enhance the shopping experience for Lumia Coffee customers. This feature, integrated with Shopify Inbox, provided Lumia Coffee with a direct channel to interact with customers and offer immediate assistance with issues and product inquiries. It also allows the brand to draw customers toward checkout with personalized product suggestions and increase satisfaction by offering personalized discounts during one-on-one dialogues.

  • Push notifications - To increase sales and reduce cart abandonment, we set up automated push notifications, which have been essential in enhancing engagement and visibility for Lumia Coffee. These notifications, particularly for abandoned carts, have helped recover many potential lost sales, boosting their revenue. Additionally, with back-in-stock notifications, customers are informed when products are available again, allowing them to make immediate purchases directly from the app, on the go.
