PROJECT
BACKGROUND

bath_private
After rebranding Bold Commerce, the next step was to align our Shopify demo stores with the new brand image. I took charge of this project to ensure that our online interfaces not only looked the part but also provided an improved interactive experience, all within the existing content framework.

Market Research

Competitors cluttered their stores, confusing customers. In response, I focused our Shopify demos with distinct, clear use cases that highlighted our product features effectively.

Challenge
Rebranding the demo stores was crucial to meet current design trends and embody Bold's standards. Updating the UI for our established Shopify products was needed, but it was essential to do so without a complete content overhaul.

Strategic
Approach

architecture
Selected a unified theme centered around a virtual Bold coffee roaster store, complete with coffee beans and equipment, to establish a connection with potential clients through a familiar and engaging experience. This thematic choice was carried out in the product visualizations for all demo stores, guaranteeing a consistent and relatable story. This approach encompassed:

Tailored Product Displays

Designed Bold-branded coffee products to display subscription and upsell features effectively.

Case-Specific Solutions

Developed unique offerings like 'Coffee without Limit' to provide distinct subscription experiences.

Marketing Synergy

Repurposed the branded products for use in Shopify app listings, linking the company website and demo stores visually and experientially.
