Summary

Negative Apparel, initially reliant on a website for sales, faced a decline in customer engagement and conversion rates. This was partly due to the limitations of email communications in maintaining effective customer relations. Recognizing the shift towards mobile commerce, they sought to develop a mobile app to enhance their sales channel and improve the shopping experience.

The solution for Negative Apparel involved creating a mobile app using Shopney, a no-code builder integrated with their Shopify store, which matched the brand’s aesthetic and enhanced functionality. This app featured personalized product recommendations, multi-language support, and in-app chat to improve customer interaction. Additionally, automated push notifications and strategic integrations like Shopify Search & Discovery boosted engagement and sales, effectively increasing conversion rates and customer retention.

Negative Apparel is always dedicated to delivering the best quality products and the best shopping experience to its customers. Since they were mainly operating with a website as their only sales channel, getting the right engagement and increasing sales was a huge challenge, and staying in touch with customers over emails wasn’t as effective anymore. This led to a notable decline in customer engagement and conversion rates.

Being aware of mobile apps taking over the world of eCommerce, they were looking to expand their customer base with a top-notch mobile app to:

  • Build a sales channel with higher conversion rates
  • Offer an enhanced shopping experience to their customers
  • Streamline and optimize the store’s engagement with their customers
  • Increase the repeat purchase rate
  • Turn visitors into loyal shoppers by offering a personalized shopping journey

Convinced that a mobile app was the key to achieving their goals, Negative Apparel initially worried about finding a mobile app builder to meet their specific needs. Their exploration led them to Shopney, distinguished by its superior user interface, rich feature set, ease of use, and commitment to growth. These attributes dissolved their initial concerns, confirming Shopney as the ideal choice for delivering an exceptional mobile shopping experience.

That’s when they started seeking solutions to make online shopping for mobile consumers easier and began researching building an eCommerce mobile app.
