Jonak, the renowned French footwear brand, saw an increase of 90% in its international online orders
Partnering with Global-e has enabled us to successfully penetrate into many international markets which saw just a small number of orders before and significantly increase sales across all markets. The advanced localisation solution and local market insights and recommendations they provide us with, have helped us to go from taking a global international perspective with a single strategy for all cross-border markets, to taking a localised perspective which enables us to provide our customers with a much better experience while growing our global online revenues.
Just one year after implementing Global-e’s cross-border ecommerce solution, the popular brand saw more than a 100% increase in conversion rates in leading global markets.
The Challenge
Jonak, the popular Paris-based women’s shoe brand, has 67 boutiques throughout France and beyond. The company operated a webstore where they sold their high-quality footwear to international customers, but they only saw a moderate number of orders from a limited number of markets. Jonak’s offering was limited; prices on the webstore were displayed in euro only and credit cards and PayPal were the only accepted payment methods. Furthermore, their international shipping offering included high rates, especially to destinations outside of Europe, which hindered international conversion rates.
Jonak sought an advanced cross-border ecommerce solution that would enable them to overcome these barriers, expand their reach to more international markets, increase their global sales and provide shoppers around the world with a seamless, online shopping experience. The brand also wanted a solution that would reduce the risks and complexity involved in cross border selling, such as fraud hazards, currency fluctuation and staying compliant with the constant changes in import regulations in markets worldwide.
The Solution
In order to increase international sales and expand its global online reach, Jonak partnered with Global-e, the leading provider of end-to-end cross-border ecommerce solutions. Jonak was able to seamlessly integrate Global-e’s solution on its wshop ecommerce platform in a fast and easy implementation process and immediately provide shoppers in 200 destinations worldwide with a fully localised online shopping experience, tailored to each individual market and to the brand’s marketing strategy and goals:
- Localised welcome pop-up for customising key marketing messages for shoppers such as promoting free shipping over specified thresholds
- Local prices presented in local currencies and rounded according to local market conventions – 100+ currencies supported
- Localised one-step checkout page supporting 30+ languages
- Guaranteed calculation of all import duties and taxes to prevent any surprise charges upon delivery and offering the option of prepayment at checkout. Additionally, the brand can now present prices inclusive of all taxes to specific markets and inform shoppers that no additional charges will be added
- A choice of shipping methods at competitive rates including express shipping and free shipping worldwide over specified thresholds, set per market
- A variety of the most commonly used local payment methods in each market – 150+ methods are supported including local and alternative payment methods
