Creating a new e-commerce experience

The English Vine, founded in November 2019, emerged to challenge the conventional wine industry and break down stereotypes associated with English wines. The target audience comprises 30-45-year-olds seeking exploration in wine without elitism and the 46+ demographic that values regular wine consumption.

Additionally, the brand aims to appeal to those interested in buying local and embracing a higher price point for organic, vegan, or biodynamic products, with a special focus on engaging the female market.

The English Vine, a dynamic disruptor in the wine industry, sought to break free from traditional norms and revolutionise the way people experience English wines. The initial e-commerce site was a quick fix, but to fuel the next phase of growth, The English Vine needed a digital platform that resonated with its diverse audience, transcending the confines of the traditional wine industry.

The approach

As a disruptor brand, The English Vine needed a dynamic and scalable digital platform. Our approach involved leveraging Shopify for its efficient setup, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. We focused on transforming the brand into "The no-nonsense wine company" to reflect its ethos throughout the website, ensuring a frictionless digital experience.

Implementation, Innovation, Conversion & Creativity:

• Brand Development: Transformed the brand from a pop-up bar design into a cohesive digital experience, reflecting the no-nonsense approach.
• E-commerce Complexity: Overcame complexities in discounting and gifting models with bespoke implementations, preparing the platform for future subscription models.
• Catalogue and Filtering: Employed creative thinking in catalogue organisation and filtering, blending creativity with conversion optimization for a user-friendly experience.

The outcome

The collaboration between 7DOTS and The English Vine showcases the power of a well-executed digital strategy in propelling a disruptive brand to success. The results not only exceeded expectations but played a pivotal role in the company's survival and growth during challenging times.
