Indigo & Juniper, passionate about launching their online business featuring unique Hmong designs, turned to Pactx for expert guidance on starting and managing an eCommerce venture. With limited startup capital, they were determined to make their eCommerce platform the primary point of sale, avoiding the expenses and overhead associated with a brick-and-mortar store.


Key Focus Areas
Startup
Indigo & Juniper, while passionate, lacked the knowledge to start an online business and needed expert guidance to take their first steps. They faced challenges in setting up their online presence and ensuring smooth, efficient customer experiences.
No Long-Term Goals
While they had short-term visions for their business, they lacked long-term goals or objectives to guide the future direction of their company.

Solution
Building Site on Shopify
Pactx recommended Shopify as a cost-effective and low-maintenance platform to start their business, as its platform is very user-friendly, without having the burden of constant development or maintenance.
Emphasis on Company Focus
We ensured that Indigo & Juniper’s focus remained on creating and selling stunning Hmong and cultural designs, allowing them to showcase the artistry they were passionate about.
Setting Long-Term Goals and Adapting to Trends
Before launching the site, Pactx aligned with Indigo & Juniper on branding and objectives, setting the stage for long-term success. We also advised the team on creating a product release schedule, taking into account seasonal trends and timing for maximum impact.

Implementing Analytics
We implemented analytics into their site, providing them with early insights into product performance and enabling them to make data-driven decisions for future growth.

Upon launching their eCommerce site, Indigo & Juniper’s products became an instant hit. The seamless website experience and streamlined checkout process contributed to impressive sales figures, nearly turning net positive within the first week. Both teams were pleasantly surprised by this strong initial performance, as the products almost sold out within the first month.
Traffic spiked significantly, primarily driven by well-coordinated social media campaigns and a robust follower base, which were aligned with scheduled product releases. This strategic approach bolstered repeat purchases during subsequent product launches, without relying heavily on paid media.
