Case Studies
A pioneer in the fine fragrance category, NEST New York’s collections transform the everyday through scents that transport, inspire and captivate the senses. NEST fragrances are widely distributed and sold in North America both in-store and online.
The team at NEST New York was looking for a way to differentiate their website experience. They wanted to give shoppers a unique and compelling reason to buy at nestnewyork.com.
NEST New York knew the first challenge to solve was to help shoppers understand the product, and the catalog. The second step is to create an unparalleled, personalized eCommerce experience that felt welcoming, warm, to get shoppers to come buy confidently with NEST.
Looking to replicate the in-store experience online, they needed to understand who the shopper was buying for, the occasion, the scent preference, the product type, and how all of these preferences come together to deliver the right product assortment for each customer. The process should also create buyer confidence, reduce friction at checkout, and deliver a world-class experience.
When considering this new experience, NEST New York knew that they wanted to incorporate the human element as a way to set NEST apart from competitors. When exploring a human-centric experience, the ability to scale was also top of mind.
They thought this human element should complement their bespoke product selection and work in tandem to not only yield a refined customer experience, but more revenue for the company.
NEST New York also prioritized a quick and efficient onboarding, integrating easily with all their systems. The NEST New York Team partnered with Humankind to bring this differentiated eCommerce experience to life.
Customers who utilize the Humankind experience have higher AOV and customer satisfaction scores than those who do not go through the Humankind process on the website. Shoppers who are using Humankind powered conversations have +12% higher AOV than non-Humankind customers.
NEST New York is leaning into Conversational Commerce with Humankind and has committed to
1) increasing the number of experts from their team,
2) participating in advanced software and platform training,
3) further optimizing their questionnaire and onboarding funnel, and
4) working to improve the overall experience.
According to Andrea Moore, Chief Digital Officer, “Feedback from our shoppers has been very positive, … Humankind has worked very closely with us to deliver a unique experience customized to our customers and their goals. We’re excited about actively evolving our partnership in our next phase of working together.”
