Artisans & Agency, a beloved Santa Cruz store showcasing the finest handcrafted goods, faced a significant challenge when the pandemic hit. With decreased foot traffic and an outdated website displaying only a fraction of their inventory, sales plummeted. To revive the business and reconnect with their customer base, Artisans & Agency partnered with GetVirtual for a comprehensive digital transformation.

‍

The Challenge

The existing website was a bottleneck, showcasing only 35% of the store's extensive product range. This limited visibility hindered sales and failed to capture the essence of Artisans & Agency's curated collection. Additionally, the pandemic forced the store to rely heavily on online sales, making a robust digital presence imperative.
