Transforming Le Cartel's online presence, our custom-designed Shopify store prioritized seamless user experience and innovative features, enhancing brand storytelling and driving sales growth. Strategic integrations in social proof and localized platform strategies fortified their market presence, positioning Le Cartel for sustained success in both established and emerging markets.
Founded in 2015 in Montreal, Le Cartel specializes in streetwear clothing created through collaborations with diverse artists, emphasizing originality and creativity. As an artistic collective, Le Cartel is known for its boldness in bringing together talents from varied backgrounds.
Le Cartel faced the challenge of needing a new website that could effectively tell their brand story, enhance user experience, and support their expansion into new markets. With physical flagship stores and prominent event activations complementing their digital presence, they required a cohesive online platform that seamlessly integrated these facets while driving higher conversions and increasing average order values.
Enhanced Storytelling: Improve brand narrative through compelling text, photos, and videos to engage audiences.
Improved Conversion Rates: Optimize user experience to minimize drop-offs between cart and checkout, enhancing conversion rates.
Increased Average Order Value (AOV): Implement features like "Shop the Look" and strategic upsells to encourage larger purchases.
Integrated Platform Strategy: Enhance ROI across multiple digital platforms (Shopify, Klaviyo, Instagram, META, Google, and upcoming TikTok) by streamlining integration and performance tracking.
Lake House Group collaborated closely with Le Cartel to redesign and implement a new website that effectively communicated their brand's ethos and product offerings while driving higher conversions and AOV.
Enhanced responsive design: The website underwent a comprehensive redesign, featuring sleek and visually appealing designs that reflect Le Cartel's aesthetic and ensure a seamless and intuitive user experience. The new website was developed with a 100% responsive design for a consistent and enjoyable browsing experience.
Social Proof Integration: Social proof elements were strategically integrated throughout the site, showcasing customer testimonials, social media feeds, and endorsements from brand ambassadors. Dedicated sections such as "They Wear Le Cartel" highlight how influencers and customers style Le Cartel products, building trust and credibility.
Enhanced Product Pages and Collection Pages: Product pages were redesigned to present detailed product information and compelling visual storytelling. This included transparent sizing information, dynamic images, and engaging descriptions. Collection pages were optimized with improved filtering options, allowing users to quickly find and explore products of interest.
Shop the Look Feature: Implemented a "Shop the Look" feature on product pages and in the cart to encourage additional purchases. This feature allows Le Cartel's team full control over recommending complementary products, leveraging both curated selections and AI-driven suggestions.
Promotional Strategies: Highlighted free shipping thresholds and promotional offers strategically throughout the customer journey, prompting customers to add more items to their carts to qualify.
Recognizing the importance of localized strategies, Lake House Group developed separate Shopify instances tailored specifically for Canadian and French/European markets. This approach facilitates efficient inventory management and content localization, crucial for their upcoming launch in France and expansion into new European markets in 2024.
The partnership between Le Cartel and Lake House Group has resulted in a modern, storytelling-focused Shopify store that not only enhances user experience and conversion rates but also strengthens Le Cartel's brand identity across digital channels. By leveraging cutting-edge design and strategic integration of digital platforms, Le Cartel is well-positioned to attract and retain customers in their current markets and successfully expand into new territories.
