The Brief

Bamford is a distinguished brand with a strong sustainability and wellness ethic. They were looking for a trusted partner to facilitate the next step in their digital growth strategy.

A major aspect of this project was to replatform to a digital commerce platform that was able to fulfill a number of key capabilities. These included delivering a compelling and intuitive user experience, the robustness and scalability to expand into new markets, and facilitate sustained ecommerce growth.

A critical component of its strategy was to showcase its recently launched fitness and wellness club, the new 3,500-acre home where members can indulge in a 360-degree wellness experience. A digital presence was needed to allow customers to browse its core facilities, search classes, and inquire about memberships – as well as full integration with Bamford‘s ecommerce store.

The Solution

Bamford’s digital presence was fully renovated with the launch of two websites, an ecommerce store with an enhanced user experience and an exclusive site for Bamford club members. 

This double-edged solution transformed Bamford’s digital offering by providing their customers with a fully integrated and immersive user experience that connects ecommerce with its fitness and wellness club while allowing the brand to expand into new countries.

We migrated their ecommerce store to Adobe Commerce after carefully analyzing what Bamford needed to reach the next level of their growth journey. Adobe Commerce was the best fit for their digital ambitions as it offers scalability, easy customizations, deep out-of-the-box functionality, and integration capabilities.

The capabilities of both new sites include enhanced user experience and navigation, creating a clearer digital journey with impactful product presentation. We integrated Klevu to leverage its artificial intelligence capabilities to power smart search functionality.

We installed subscription services to ease the repurchasing experience, enabling customers to auto-replenish their products monthly, every 3 months, or 6 months, with incentives such as discounts and free delivery.

Both websites benefit from multiple payment options that include Klarna and Apple Pay, which broadens customer choice in how they want to pay, catering to the payment preferences of each shopper.

The Club by Bamford invites new members to indulge in a 360º wellness experience that incorporates health, fitness, and holistic well-being. The site was created using Mindbody integration, a cloud-based online scheduling software that allows customers to book wellness clinics and spas easily. It also connects with the Bamford ecommerce store to allow users to switch between the two websites.
