What's it like to work with Redstage?
"Redstage has become an extension of our team. With their support, we were able to launch three new sites in two different countries all within the same month. The team at Redstage worked relentlessly to meet tight deadlines and accommodated our challenging schedules spanning across various time zones. We've already seen positive improvements with our new Magento 2 sites, and we can't wait to see how far we can push our KPIs in the year ahead!"
OUR STORY
Head-to-Toe Essentials
It’s an all too familiar story. An enterprise retailer with multiple sites on various platforms seeking to consolidate its digital infrastructure and propel international growth. The retailer also needed a significant overhaul of its inventory and purchasing options to manage multi-national operations.
On top of these goals, one of ZBG’s brand’s Tweezerman faced additional challenges: Seeking to create a page to streamline the customer experience with their tool sharpening service for certain products and implementing a custom engraving feature, while improving conversions and increasing average order value across the board.
The Challenge
The new sites needed to remain independent of one another, but be manageable under a single Magento instance for easy monitoring and management. The new stores also required different inventories, shipping methods, and multi-currency options.
The ZBG team also noted the importance of keeping the sites’ CX in-tact to avoid alienating customers, requiring custom design work (since Magento 2 themes are quite different from those of Magento 1).
The Solution
Choosing Magento Commerce Cloud as the optimal platform for the project, Redstage and ZBG were able to accomplish all of the goals mentioned above and more. The implementations took approximately 10 months to complete, culminating in the course of a few weeks when we launched four new stores:
The U.S.-based website (Tweezerman.com), two Germany-based websites (Tweezerman.de and Zwillingbeauty.com), and the UK-based store (Tweezerman.co.uk).

The new stores are easy to navigate, order processing is smoother, and there’s less friction across all stages of the customer journey. The centralized infrastructure consolidates maintenance, making upkeep and support much easier than it has ever been between the sites. This was a major focal point for the ZBG team, and they are very happy with the results. Given the incredible short-term results, we anticipate a banner year for the brand’s online sales in 2020.

Case Study – Lawn Mower Tire Store Mobile Optimization
GREENER PASTURES
Redstage conducted a series of A/B tests for Lawn Mower Tire Store across devices, successfully increasing revenue per visitor 25% though our free Mobile Optimization Initiative.
PROOF A/B TESTING GETS THE JOB DONE
Redstage conducted a series of A/B tests for Lawn Mower Tire Store across devices, successfully increasing revenue per visitor 25% though our free Mobile Optimization Initiative.
Since 1994, Lawn Mower Tire Store has dedicated itself to ensuring customer satisfaction and providing high quality tires, wheels, inner tubes, and bearings at competitive prices. Now the company is adapting for the next generation of shoppers.
Digital Marketing Coordinator,
Lawn Mower Tire Store
How did the Mobile Optimization Initiative help your business?
"We were struggling with mobile conversions and the MOI program helped us with the insights and adjustments we needed. This data-driven, forward-thinking program is certainly worth a try."
OUR STORY
Getting A Grip On Mobile
A robust inventory and fast shipping already set Lawn Mower Tire Store apart from their competition, but like most eCommerce merchants, they were looking for ways to increase revenue—specifically with mobile sales.
The Problem
Redstage identified a key issue: on desktop and mobile, the checkout button was only visible to the customer if they scrolled to the very top of the page. They could see that the sites’ Average Order Value (AOV) and other data points compared well with other sites who had seen success with making the checkout button more observable for better conversions.
The Tests
Redstage implemented a “Sticky Cart Header” to test how customers would respond to having the CTA (call to action) visible more often. This included making the cart button more obvious on desktop by moving it to the header, which “sticks” and scrolls with the page. On mobile, they added a second cart button that is always visible on the page once an item is added to the cart.

Within the one month testing period, the changes to the header yielded a 24.91% increase in revenue per visitor (RPV) for customers involved in the test.
Test 2: Mobile
Second Cart CTA
Within the same testing period, the changes to the mobile site drove a 7.03% increase in RPV on mobile for customers involved in the test.

Red Dress Boutique is a women’s clothing store based in Athens, Georgia. The US retailer offers a wide variety of clothing, footwear, and fashion accessories. The company got a jumpstart on an episode of Shark Tank in 2014 when Mark Cuban invested $600,000 to purchase 15% of the company.
Diana Harbour
Founder and Owner, Red Dress Boutique
How have the results been since replatforming?

RESULTS
A Unique Vision
In addition to saving $100,000 annually by replatforming to Shopify Plus, the Redstage team created an “impossible” Shop-The-Look” feature that allows users to buy all items in an full outfit in one-click. Other custom development work included “About-The-Fit” and “Model Specs” info for a wide range of products. Lastly, Redstage helped the fashion retailer maintain their SEO strength throughout the transition by developing an SEO-friendly color swatch selector that loads individual product pages for each color variant instantly.
Before replatforming, Red Dress’s revenue has stuck a plateau. Since the launch in February of 2018, company revenue has grown at an average rate of +12.5% per month in 2018. Still accelerating growth, Red Dress Boutique has seen close to a 120% increase in sales revenue for August of 2018, compared to the same month in the prior year.

RESHAPING FOOTWEAR BRANDS
Redstage rescued the company’s existing sites from technical issues and launched two new brands through a DTC multi-store website for this footwear manufacturer and wholesaler.
White Mountain Footwear, a shoe manufacturer born from the collaboration of four independent shoemakers in the mountains of New Hampshire, drives three stylish footwear brands through a multi-store site online. Redstage helped them through an uphill battle to reach the summit of their status in the footwear market.
Amy Barnes
The White Mountain Footwear Group
"Redstage helped take our 3 brand women’s footwear eCommerce site to the next level, in additional to managing the design and launch of websites for an additional 2 brands.
Anyone who has ever created and managed a website knows that it involves making continuous tweaks and changes. Having a developer who is not only highly knowledgeable but also able to build a professional, efficient and fun working partnership, is invaluable. It’s that kind of relationship that leads to success.
Their knowledge of the Magento platform and the industry as a whole is top notch. Our PM and Account Manager are pleasures to work with; bridging the gap between technical and creative minds with ease, and all the while pushing us to be the best we can be. We look forward to many more years of growing together."
