Delivered Project

Multi-brand e-commerce modernization connecting storefronts, product data, advertising and analytics

The Challenge

A UK promotional-products business operating multiple specialist brands had accumulated a fragmented digital environment across websites, e-commerce systems, product data, advertising infrastructure and day-to-day digital operations.

Different components had evolved independently over time, making it harder to maintain consistent customer experiences and coordinate digital acquisition across the business.

The engagement focused on modernizing this foundation while supporting specialist e-commerce brands serving customizable promotional-product markets, including wristbands and lanyards.

The requirement extended beyond redesigning individual websites. The broader objective was to improve the underlying e-commerce experience, consolidate previously scattered digital components, establish the infrastructure required for product advertising and connect customer acquisition more closely with the destinations receiving that traffic.

The Solution

Digital Bevy worked with the business over a seven-month engagement covering e-commerce development, digital infrastructure consolidation, product-advertising infrastructure and paid customer acquisition.

New e-commerce experiences were developed for two specialist product brands. The Wristbands Direct website was completed and moved into production, providing a modernized customer-facing destination for its specialist product offering.

A separate Lanyards Direct website was also substantially developed as part of the same modernization initiative. The engagement concluded before that website progressed to production, so the case study distinguishes completed development from an actual live launch.

Alongside website development, Digital Bevy established supporting Google Merchant Center infrastructure and managed Google advertising activity designed to generate customer enquiries.

The engagement therefore addressed both sides of the e-commerce environment: the customer-facing experience and the acquisition infrastructure responsible for bringing prospective customers to it.

What We Built

  • E-Commerce Website Development: Updated e-commerce experiences for specialist promotional-product brands, covering site architecture, product presentation, customer-facing pages, conversion-oriented layouts, responsive experiences and supporting technical configuration.
  • Wristbands Direct Production Launch: Development and launch of a modernized customer-facing e-commerce website for the specialist wristband offering, creating a stronger destination for paid, organic and direct acquisition activity.
  • Lanyards Direct E-Commerce Development: A separate specialist e-commerce experience was substantially developed for the lanyard brand as part of the modernization initiative. The engagement concluded before the new website was moved into production.
  • Digital Infrastructure Consolidation: Previously scattered digital components were brought into a more structured operating environment so websites, product advertising and acquisition channels could be managed as parts of a broader digital system rather than isolated initiatives.
  • Google Merchant Center Infrastructure: Merchant Center configuration established the technical foundation required to make relevant product information available to Google’s commerce and product-advertising ecosystem.
  • Google Ads Management: Paid search and advertising activity was managed to generate customer enquiries and commercial opportunities, with campaigns producing an ongoing flow of inbound leads during the engagement.
  • Connected Acquisition Experience: Paid acquisition was connected with the newly developed web experience so advertising traffic reached destinations designed around the underlying product offering, helping move the business toward a more coordinated customer-acquisition environment.

The Outcome

  • A modernized production e-commerce experience: Wristbands Direct progressed from redevelopment into a live customer-facing platform supporting the brand’s specialist product offering and digital acquisition activity.
  • A broader multi-brand modernization foundation: A second specialist e-commerce experience was substantially developed for Lanyards Direct, while shared digital components and operating infrastructure were moved toward a more coordinated foundation.
  • Product advertising and paid acquisition infrastructure: Google Merchant Center and Google Ads work connected product visibility and paid customer acquisition with the evolving e-commerce environment, generating inbound enquiries during the engagement.
  • Web development and acquisition treated as one system: The project connected customer-facing e-commerce development with product advertising and paid acquisition rather than treating website delivery and traffic generation as unrelated services.
