How do you choose the perfect gift? You want to present something that captures a moment, evokes emotion and creates memories that can last forever. Our latest client, Hampers & Co, are gift experts. When Emer and Alan created Hampers & Co over 30 years ago, they set out to encapsulate a sense of relationship and recognise the true importance of occasions. With a product range spanning numerous industries and occasions, they have been supporting local Irish artisans ever since their inception. Selling to both businesses and consumers, Hampers & Co source, package and deliver beautifully presented hampers of exceptional quality. Their corporate portfolio shows just the type of clients that are interested in their hampers, with the likes of The National Lottery on their impressive roster.
With success under their belts and future growth in their sights, there was just one thing holding the Hampers & Co team back: their Magento website. As a solely online retailer, Magento was proving outdated and unfit for the task at hand. Processing speeds were slow, and the site was limited in terms of extra content and features to enhance the user experience. Magento was due for an update, so Emer and her team took the opportunity to move to a platform that would give them the growing space they needed. Shopify was the answer, and Kubix was the agency of choice that would take them there.

The first step in any Shopify migration is transferring any data from the previous site. Our team got to work doing just that, moving across all the products, customers, categories, 301 redirects, and more. Next came the theme development, which really let the brand’s personality shine through. The combination of development and integration of specific apps enabled us to create a truly personal experience for the customers of Hampers & Co. Upon launching, customers would now have the ability to choose a specific delivery date for orders, receive handwritten cards with every hamper, and add personalised messages directly on the product pages. One particular request? That this new site would be much simpler to use on mobile, suiting it to the older generation of customers who would benefit from a larger, easy-to-navigate interface. Our team made it happen.
Alongside the development of the theme, it was important for us to fine-tune the navigation and making sure that the backend coordinated well with the systems they already had in place. Hampers & Co were already set up with warehouse software that pulled through delivery dates and prints off labels and gift messages, and we needed to make sure that their new site was well adapted, meaning it would perfectly integrate with their present way of working.
