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. They focus on sourcing their coffee beans locally and roasting them specifically to enhance the aroma and flavor. Lumia Coffee aims to redefine the coffee experience from the preparation to the brewing process.
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.
Solutions
To help Lumia Coffee boost its conversion rate and generate more sales, we assisted them in achieving their goal with a mobile app that smoothly aligns with their brand.

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.

Setting up conversion features
As we built and grew Lumia Coffee's app, we aimed to enhance it by enabling features that would improve conversion rates at every stage of the buyer's journey. 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.
Integrations - Lumia Coffee focused on enabling seamless data exchange and effectively targeting relevant traffic and integrated its app with Google and Facebook. Utilizing insights from this data, they customized the app experience and improved their marketing strategies. As a store aiming to attract international customers, they also integrated with Shopney Multi-currency and Langify to localize their content within the app, enhancing the overall shopping experience.
Results - The Shopney Effect
Lumia Coffee experienced immediate success following the launch of their mobile app, enhancing the mobile shopping experience for their customers and creating a community feel among their users.
