ARAVIA team set out with a goal to establish its own online sales channels. Up until that point, the company primarily conducted wholesale sales through online marketplaces. The objectives included revamping the website and launching a mobile application, given that 70% of their clients were accessing their services through mobile devices.
In partnership with IMSHOP.IO, ARAVIA successfully launched the mobile application and in half a year had contributed to 30% of the online store's total revenue.
To enrich the user experience, educational content was seamlessly integrated into the application. This content includes articles, a schedule of webinars and seminars, all accompanied by the introduction of push notifications. Interestingly, push notifications related to new educational materials led to a 1.5-fold increase in user engagement compared to notifications about promotions.
