Paul Valentine Watches
Young-blooded, modern and relevant - Paul Valentine goes from strength to strength on Shopify Plus.

Project overview
Paul Valentine is a young, dynamic watch brand based in Germany and the USA. Founded in early 2016, the brand grew explosively during Q1 and Q2 - following a social media boom put down to a bold, creative approach to product and lifestyle photography. Initially launched using a standard Shopify theme, initial exponential growth inspired the company to pursue a transition to Shopify Plus - as well as making a significant investment in a bespoke Shopify solution by the team at BAO. In a competitive, crowded market, Paul Valentine were on a mission to give their watches the digital presence that they deserve.

Project Brief:
Paul Valentine has an impressive following on all social channels but Facebook & Instagram in particular are extremely effective for the brand. They perfectly utilise both platforms to illustrate how to style and wear their watches, blending a considered approach between both lifestyle and product photography. The brand is rapidly increasing their social reach - and leverages its huge success in social media as its primary sales channel for their business. It was our job to translate these social media marketing successes into sales by designing and developing a store that looks great, works perfectly and works as hard as possible to convert visitors to customers.

The Results:
On the website's launch weekend, the company celebrated a landmark order volume - seeing a huge 1100% upswing on their previous record weekend. We were thrilled to record huge improvements in conversion rates, as well as user engagement on the website.
A combination of product, social marketing and first-in-class digital design work created a result that we're incredibly proud of. Our bespoke Shopify solutions are designed to take brands like Paul Valentine and translate their brand capital and web traffic into tangible sales - wrapping modern, e-Commerce design principles into simple, easy to use online stores.
