Problem
Global Knives, one of the world's leading manufacturers of Japanese knives, faced significant challenges with their outdated UK website built on WooCommerce. The website was not capable of handling large amounts of traffic and did not provide the necessary user experience to reflect the brand's prestige. Additionally, the company needed to balance their B2C offerings with maintaining relationships with local stockists like Selfridges and John Lewis. Effective stock management was also a challenge, requiring seamless integration with their SAP system.
Solution
A comprehensive digital transformation strategy was implemented. A new website was built from scratch using Magento 2, designed with brand consistency in mind to ensure a superior user experience. The new platform was capable of handling significant traffic, providing a robust foundation for online sales. Google Ads campaigns were launched, driving sales to seven figures quickly. An Instagram social media strategy was also deployed, featuring a chef using Global Knives to prepare food, which was recorded by a videographer and shared in stylish short clips. Collaborations with influencers helped grow Instagram followers by 800% month on month. Integrations between Magento 2 and SAP were implemented to manage stock levels effectively.
