The Problem

The team relied on a dated catalog that made comparing gear difficult and couldn’t surface engineer recommendations. They needed a site that supported education-driven shopping and handled complex pricing, trade-ins, and store credits.

The Challenge

We had to deliver rich product content, financing options, and secure checkout while keeping performance high for a catalog with thousands of SKUs and frequent price adjustments.

The Result

After launch, conversion rate climbed 33%, average order value increased through bundle recommendations, and customer support tickets dropped thanks to self-service tracking and knowledge articles.

Key Requirements

  • Deliver a premium shopping experience that mirrors the expertise of Little Fish Audio engineers.
  • Support complex pricing, financing, and loyalty programs for professional buyers.
  • Provide operational efficiency through automated fulfillment updates and analytics.

Results & Impact

  • Conversion rate increased 33% with richer product storytelling and bundle offers.
  • Average order value grew 22% via curated signal-chain recommendations.
  • Customer support inquiries dropped 18% thanks to self-service order tracking and FAQs.
