The Challenge
Key Problems
Flora and Fauna is an iconic cruelty-free and vegan shop that helps customers make conscientious product choices. First established in 2014, they’ve since flourished to stay at the forefront of the cruelty-free movement. Even after all these years, their mission is simple: “to offer everyone better choices”. Their product range offers a plethora of vegan goods from makeup and skincare to clothing and food.
While they have a huge range with over 5500 products, and 240+ brands, online plant-based retailers are gaining particular prominence, with an array of vegan products posing significant sales growth. This means Flora and Fauna have been tacked with the challenge of competing in such a saturated market. With the rise of more vegan retailers, the need for evolving digital to stay ahead was key!
Therefore, it was critical for them to better understand what they needed to prioritize in order to boost – or more likely recapture – retention.
After leveraging their locale in marketing tactics, they decided to partner with OMG. Within 7 months, we were able to increase organic search revenue by over 300% – and the future looks promising.
