ICONIC London have increased their international online orders by 143%
The increase that we have seen to our international sales has been fantastic. With Global-e, not only have we grown sales in our key markets, but we have also penetrated into many additional markets where we weren’t selling before which has considerably extended our global customer base.
The trend-setting cosmetics brand has also seen their international conversion rates rise by 138% since partnering with Global-e
The Challenge
Since its launch in 2015, ICONIC London sold its products both within the UK and internationally via its ecommerce website. However, its offering was limited; it was only able to display prices in GBP, EUR, USD and AUD and accept payments via credit card, debit card and PayPal. Furthermore, the brand was only able to offer its international customers standard shipping at high rates with long waits until delivery and with no straightforward returns process in place, which collectively led to low international conversion rates.
ICONIC London sought an advanced end-to-end cross-border ecommerce solution that would enable them to maximise their international online sales while providing their international customers with a seamless online shopping experience.
The Solution
In its quest to find an advanced end-to-end cross-border ecommerce solution with a proven record of success boosting international online sales, ICONIC London chose to partner with Global-e, the leading provider of cross-border ecommerce solutions. With Global-e, ICONIC London can provide shoppers in more than 200 destinations worldwide with a fully localised shopping experience, tailored according to the preferences and behaviours of shoppers in each market and to the brand’s marketing strategy and business goals:
- Localised welcome pop-up and marketing banner for customising key marketing messages for shoppers such as promoting free shipping offerings over a specified threshold
- Local prices presented in local currencies and rounded according to local market conventions- 100+ currencies supported
- Localised checkout supporting 30+ languages
- Guaranteed calculation of all import duties and taxes with the option of prepayment at checkout to prevent any surprise charges upon delivery
- A choice of shipping methods at competitive rates, including express shipping and free international shipping over specified thresholds
- A wide variety of local and alternative payment methods – 150+ methods are supported including the most commonly used methods in each market such as WeChatPay in China and iDeal in the Netherlands
- Transparent and easy returns process at low rates
With 150 payment methods supported by Global-e, ICONIC London can offer international customers the option to pay using the local and alternative payment methods that they are used to and that are popular in their localities.
The Results
Since partnering with Global-e, ICONIC London’s international order numbers have increased 143% and conversion rates have increased 138%. The brand has expanded its global reach and is now actively selling to 126 international markets.
With 150 payment methods supported by Global-e, ICONIC London can offer international customers the option to pay using the local and alternative payment methods that they are used to and that are popular in their localities. In Saudi Arabia for example, shoppers are now able to pay with Cash on Delivery (COD), a popular payment and delivery method in many Middle Eastern countries. Saudi Arabia has now become one of the brand’s top selling international markets. Other examples can be seen in the Netherlands where 59% of customers choose to pay using iDeal and in Germany where 30% of shoppers choose to pay via Klarna.
The localised shopping experience provided to international customers has had a significant effect on international conversion rates and sales across markets. Notably, the USA, ICONIC London’s largest international market both before and after integrating with Global-e, has seen an incredible 349% increase in its sales and Israel has moved up to become the brand’s fourth largest international market with a fantastic 382% increase in sales.
By implementing Global-e’s solution, we have achieved dramatic growth in our international online sales; both an increase in revenues within individual markets and the many additional markets that we now actively sell to. In addition to providing us with the most advanced localisation capabilities, Global-e’s ongoing support including advanced analysis, insights and recommendations enable us to continuously optimise our offering and further boost our sales. The combination of their cutting-edge technology and their in-depth understanding of cross-border online selling is what makes them such an invaluable partner.
