Sarah Chapman is a premium skincare brand that delivers high-tech formulas combined with the best nature has to offer through its Skinesis brand.
Since its launch in 2008, the brand has sold through their ecommerce website and on beauty marketplaces such as LookFantastic, Cult Beauty, Sephora and ASOS.

Augustinus Bader had the following requirements for the project:
Our first step was to restructure existing campaigns to make it as clear as possible when we were targeting new customers, and when we were targeting returning customers.

As part of our strategy to bring new-to-brand users to the site, we analysed the tactics used by marketplaces that sold Sarah Chapman products. We discovered what kind of promotions they offered, and what we would be competing against.

With our new structure and promotions in place, and the brand providing weekly new customer data, we built a bespoke report that matched transaction IDs from new customers to paid ad campaigns.
This report allowed us to monitor which campaigns were delivering the highest amounts of new customers. From this we could adjust our budgets and bidding targets accordingly.
Migrating Wolvende from Shopify to Magento on a Hyvä frontend has dramatically improved the company’s performance.

From first click to purchase, order confirmation to fulfilment, the customer journey is smooth and seamless.
Processes are fast and simple, allowing Wolvende to focus on expanding their business rather than being bogged down with administrative duties.
