Wine Insiders, a wine membership club and digital wine shop offering a variety of hand-picked selections, turned to Corra after struggling to reach customers online. Wine Insiders traditionally relied on phone orders and realized that their customer’s experience needed to improve. They not only needed to redesign their site to create a true ecommerce destination but also needed the business strategy to fully leverage their digital presence. Wine Insiders enrolled in Corra’s 90-Day Onboarding Program, to leverage Dynamic Yield’s AI-powered insights and quickly implement transformative solutions. Corra’s reputation of delivering extraordinary results led Wine Insiders to select Corra to spearhead their new site.
Corra began by creating a Customer Journey Map to identify recommendations and prioritize solution implementation. The insights produced from the customer journey map helped the Corra team create a website experience tailor-made for Wine Insiders’ target audience. For example, because many customers buy wine impulsively based on the label, they were adding products to their cart and checking out directly from the collection page. Corra used a “hover over” feature to streamline purchasing for these customers and improve the overall experience by giving them the ability to quickly learn about the wine they were purchasing.
The Corra team added user stats to product pages, showing how many other users had viewed and purchased that wine, as well as product badges that dynamically tag products based on categories like Customer Favorite, Award Winner and Trending (based on location). Corra also added low stock notifications that are updated every hour to alert shoppers when a particular wine is in high demand, helping drive conversions.
Corra redesigned the “About Us” page to showcase Wine Insiders’ story. This page is now a CMS template that can be easily updated and used to create new pages. Corra also updated the top navigation to expand and showcase the wine collections, allowing for better product discovery and user experience. The shipping messaging and notifications were also improved by implementing a banner above the navigation to promote the “Hold at Location” service with FedEx. This promotion and messaging increased conversions by 20%.
Wine Insiders’ site experience is optimized to drive conversions and stands as the perfect pairing for the company’s unique service offerings.
Corra’s strategic analysis and roadmapping led to a series of UX upgrades and the speed at which changes were implemented helped stakeholders increase buy-in from internal teams. The expanded top navigation alone helped improve user experience and SEO performance, allowing the Wine Insiders’ team to better track user flow throughout the site. The company is also seeing increased interaction with the quick view elements, while the product badges are leading to a 46% increase in revenue per session. With new strategic insights and an ecommerce site tailored to meet their customers’ unique needs, Wine Insiders is poised to expand their digital sales and deliver unparalleled value to their customers.
“Corra helped me get buy-in from the internal team. I had to make a business case and prove the value of hiring a third party agency. Together, we showcased that hiring Corra was necessary to improve our productivity on the D2C side.” —Shaiyanne Dar, Wine Insiders
“Having visual roadmaps and seeing the breakdown of experiences was very helpful, and the customer journey map is something other SI’s absolutely don’t provide. We found a lot of value in having a base roadmap that provides clear directions and recommendations, regardless of us implementing them or not. Now we know where we should be and what our goals are.”
