BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the Operations Manager of a DTC skincare brand.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Craft Berry, and what were your goals?

We got our website done by another developer who wasn't familiar with setting up e-commerce tracking for ads. A lot of the code we had set up was not according to best practices and we experienced a lot of issues with tracking conversions and traffic once we started publishing digital ads. We hired Craft Berry to help us troubleshoot and fix these problems by setting up our GA4, GTM, and GA analytics on our Shopify store.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Preslav and Craft Berry were recommended to us by another popular D2C brand. We went with them because of their technical expertise and development background, combined with their extensive ecommerce and D2C knowledge which made them the perfect fit for a brand like ours.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We had a kick-off meeting to describe the issues we were seeing and the scope of the project. They put together an estimated quote based on number of hours, and a timeline of when we can expect to have the project done by. We communicated over email throughout the project's progression and we gave them access to our Shopify store, and any other advertising platforms they needed.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We were with 3 people - a project manager, Preslav, and an GA4 expert.

After fixing the tracking issues, our ads and campaigns have been able to better optimize and track where our conversions are coming from.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a Software Engineering Manager that owns our Shopify Solution here at Glowforge. We sell a 3D Laser Printer as well as materials and digital designs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Craft Berry, and what were your goals?

Resources are limited and we were in desperate need to improve our Shop. It was 3 years old and built on a less then idea Theme. We had since done a re-branding of our primary marketing site and our Store had not caught up. We also wanted to unlock some of the Template flexibility that came with theme 2.0.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

For a separate company project we had a contractor that was very familiar with e-commerce. They recommended several firms, and I did interviews with several. We landed on Craftberry because their communication skills and general interest in the project was clearly beyond any of the other firms.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We managed the project in Asana. The work was Liquid in Shopify. They did the code changes using Bitbucket and ThemeKit.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

3 primary people: 1 Project Management Person, 1 Front End Developer, and the owner of the company was also very hands on.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Our site has a polish it had never had before. It is fast and efficient. We have customization tools that we did not have before.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

They had amazing communication. We had weekly syncs and used Asana to discuss specific tasks. They Project Manager would also provide summaries of our weekly syncs in Slack as well as any updates throughout the week. Even with only 2ish hours of overlap in work day due to time change they were able to keep us informed and not wondering what was going on.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They polish of their UI work was very impressive (things looked very close to the designs we gave them right out the gate) as well as their communication as discussed above.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I think they were not used to working with such a technical company. We have our code it bitbucket and have a pretty thorough Code Review process. This threw them off a few times and added more process than they expected.
