With an upgraded digital identity and e-commerce experience, one of the leading Etsy vendors now reaps the benefits: increased revenue, lower churn, and improved client engagement.
We Build Memories, a top-five Etsy seller specializing in custom baby apparel and holiday ornaments, teamed up with Lazarev.agency to modernize its brand and e-commerce platform. The transformation paid off: a 15% increase in revenue and a 30% drop in churn followed, driven by improved usability and a refreshed digital identity.
Business built on sentiment, held back by dated design
With $2.8 billion in annual revenue, Etsy is a crowded marketplace where visibility means the difference between growth and getting overlooked. We Build Memories reported struggling with branding that no longer resonated with its young parent audience and a clunky customization flow that made purchasing feel like work. The problem could have resulted in lost market share.
The company required a user experience that aligned with the brand’s joyful nature and a backend that supported its expanding B2B ambitions.
That’s when Lazarev.agency stepped in with a tailored approach to boosting the brand’s online presence. And the outcomes prove that such a partnership has been strategic.
