CHALLENGES

Struggling to Engage New Customers and Improve Opt-In Rates

Bhumi Organic Cotton used to rely on traditional pop-ups in their early stages, but these tools offered limited storytelling capabilities, making it difficult to connect with first-time visitors. As a brand that thrives on transparency and sustainability, sharing the “why” behind their products is crucial in building trust and driving conversions. However, the standard pop-ups failed to convey this message effectively.

We’ve always been a story-driven brand, and it was essential to convey that in the customer’s first interaction, but traditional pop-ups just weren’t able to tell our story.

Bhumi’s existing pop-ups also blended in with the rest of the market, providing little visual distinction. With visitors often overlooking or dismissing the pop-ups, opt-in rates began to stagnate.

Additionally, the previous pop-up solution lacked a smooth customer experience, particularly with discount codes. Bhumi’s slightly older customer demographic found it frustrating to manually retrieve codes from emails, leading to missed conversion opportunities.

Facing these engagement challenges and lower opt-in rates, Bhumi needed a pop-up solution that would not only capture attention but also tell their unique brand story in a way that resonates with their audience.

The other pop-ups we used looked like every other pop-up out there. People just closed them without engaging.

SOLUTION

Engaging Customers and Boosting Sign-Ups with Alia’s Story-Driven Popups

Bhumi Organic Cotton sought a solution that could go beyond typical email opt-ins, one that could tell their unique brand story and engage customers from their first interaction. After exploring various options, Bhumi found the ideal solution in Alia’s educational popups, which seamlessly combine storytelling with conversion-driven tactics.

We wanted a popup that could convey the essence of our brand, something more than just collecting emails—it needed to tell our story.

Here's what made the difference:

Alia’s popups provided the perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality, standing out visually and offering a smooth user experience. The interactive, story-driven format helped Bhumi engage visitors in a way that no other popup solution had managed to do. By integrating their narrative directly into the popup, Bhumi could explain the value of their sustainable and ethical practices while encouraging sign-ups.

Alia’s discount code auto-application feature also streamlined the conversion process. Customers no longer had to search for codes in their emails or manually input them, making it easier for Bhumi’s older demographic to make purchases.

The implementation of Alia’s popups both increased customer engagement and offered Bhumi valuable data on customer preferences. This data helped Bhumi create more personalized email campaigns, contributing to higher engagement and conversions.

The storytelling aspect of Alia’s popups really resonated with our audience. It’s a way to introduce them to why we do what we do while also encouraging them to opt in.
