Challenge
Zhik US, a renowned high-performance water sports apparel company, had successfully established a strong brand presence, had high website traffic, and maintained a decent average order value. Despite this, the company faced a pressing challenge: a high number of first-time and repeat shoppers were abandoning carts during the checkout process.
Distinguished for their innovative approach in designing and crafting proprietary materials and fabrics, as well as their rigorous product testing, Zhik US had overlooked a critical aspect of their business—conversion rates.
"We were so devoted to creating top-tier apparel and acquiring new customers that we didn't consider the business impact of cart abandonment."
"We were allocating marketing resources to attract shoppers, only to see them leave without completing a purchase."
- Sean Inkley, IT Manager
Solution
Zhik US was utilising Magento, which seamlessly integrated with Instant. This meant the implementation to use Instant Checkout was quick, easy and simple, resulting in just a one week turnaround to go live.
Following the immediate success of Checkout, Instant collaborated with Zhik US to help with their expansion into new regions, allowing for considerable global growth.
In addition, a single-view dashboard and comprehensive reporting system were established to oversee international operations spanning over multiple regions, allowing Zhik to identify market share opportunities.
"Implementing Instant proved to be remarkably straightforward, and the support provided by the staff has been exceptional. They were a key technology partner who helped us to expand globally"
