Relaunching a lifestyle retailer’s online store for GCC shoppers

A homeware and lifestyle retailer with four stores had an online shop that looked dated and lost shoppers at checkout. We rebuilt the store and the content engine behind it.

Sample case study — the brand, people and figures on this page are fictional and illustrate the type of work we do. Replace with approved client work before launch.

Relaunching a lifestyle retailer’s online store for GCC shoppers

The challenge

Souq Lane’s physical stores were thriving, but the online shop accounted for less than ten percent of revenue. Mobile shoppers abandoned carts at a high rate, Arabic product content was incomplete, and there was no buy-now-pay-later option — a dealbreaker for many customers.

Our solution

We migrated the store to Shopify with a custom bilingual theme, rebuilt navigation around how customers actually shop (by room and occasion), and redesigned product pages with richer imagery, delivery promises and reviews.

Checkout was simplified to a single page with Apple Pay, Tabby and Tamara, and delivery was integrated with two regional couriers for same-day and next-day options. Our content studio produced a bilingual product copy system, lifestyle shoots and a monthly calendar of social content tied to seasonal collections.

After launch, a structured testing programme ran two to three experiments a month across merchandising, product pages and checkout.

The outcome

Online revenue more than doubled within twelve months, and the brand opened its first marketplace storefronts using the same content system.

The results

Measurable impact

+164%Online revenue (year on year)
+27%Checkout completion rate
3.1×Blended ROAS
38%Revenue from repeat customers

The new store finally feels like our brand. Checkout is effortless, and the content team understands our customers in both languages.
