Florence by mills, a skincare and beauty brand, faced a unique challenge in October 2021.

This presented a challenge in terms of engaging and converting both Gen Z consumers and their parents. The brand needed a solution that would guide both the end consumer and the gift-purchaser throughout their shopping journey, ensuring that the right products were recommended to the right customers.

Shopify's Conversational Shopping Experience: A Case Study
Shopify operates two ecommerce stores: The Shopify Hardware Store and Shopify Supply. The Hardware Store sells hardware products for brands’ retail locations, including card readers, label printers, barcode scanners, sustainable packaging, and retail stands. However, Shopify noticed that merchants visiting the Hardware Store were having difficulty deciding what hardware they needed and which products they should bundle together. They identified three key challenges: the need for a virtual consultation to help merchants navigate which hardware is best for their store’s setup, the need to collect zero-party data to learn more about the merchants visiting the hardware store, and the need to collect merchant’s email addresses to notify them when a product they wanted was back in stock.
