The transition process could not have been easier! The team at Alia was great at managing the process and worked with myself and our designer to make sure everything was looking and sounding like we wanted it to.”

We switched from JustUno to Alia and immediately saw the difference. Our email opt-ins jumped by 124%, and our Welcome Flow revenue increased by 76%. It’s hands-down one of the smartest moves we’ve made.

The Challenge

Outdated Popup Tech That Couldn’t Keep Up

  • Justuno popups were unreliable and flaky
  • Integration issues limited their Shopify stack performance
  • No segmentation—every visitor saw the same generic 20% off offer
  • Little support or outcome-driven strategy from their previous platform

“We had a lot of issues with the popup on Justuno… it was just kind of flaky. [...] We had a lot of integration issues… it just wasn’t built for brands like us. [...] It’s not about outcomes—it’s all about the tech.
And I’m like, I don’t care about the tech. I care about outcomes. [...] We weren’t asking the right questions… we were just giving everybody the blanketed 20% off.”

They care about outcomes. It’s not just about the tech—they want to prove it to you. [...] It’s more than just ‘get 10% off.’ You’ve unlocked a mystery discount—it makes it fun. [...] Now we’re creating specific welcome series emails based on that… it allowed us to segment differently.”
