    We love to think about our client’s websites as a flagship for their brand—no matter where they sell. In CPG, it’s all about building trust through storytelling and education. A robust recipe blog is a great way to increase customer engagement while adding value.

    It doesn’t matter how delicious a product is on its own... If the brand isn’t inspiring customers with new ways to enjoy it, they’re missing out on serious loyalty and repeat purchases. Recipes are one of the best ways to drive product discovery, usage occasions, and customer retention. Showing customers how to mix up weekly dinners or snack ideas means they’ll consume more, buy more, and keep coming back. And for brands with a broader catalog, a recipe blog can connect customers to other products and even show them how different items work together to create something new. Investing in a recipe section—whether selling online or offline—and promoting it on-pack, in emails, and on social channels can go a long way for customer engagement. I’m biased 😝 but loving this recipe blog we created for Sweet Loren's. After migrating them from WooCommerce, we started with a simple Shopify blog. As their product line grew, we gave it a full redesign to inspire more tasty ways for customers to experience their products.

    Exciting launch today for while on earth™ 🌍

    View profile for Lucas Ballasy, graphic

    CEO of BARREL, a CPG commerce agency & Shopify Plus partner

    Today at 12pm ET, while on earth™ is launching their Move Trainer and I couldn't be more excited. When I caught up with Todd Meleney, Alexis Callahan, Jedediah Magnusson, and the team earlier this year and learned about what they were building, I knew it was something special. What resonated most was that while on earth™ isn’t just about performance gear—it’s about a commitment to becoming a better version of yourself. Their perspective on wellness is about meeting people wherever they are in their journey, and reinforcing the belief that anyone can become who they want to be. This is something I’ve felt deeply in my own personal growth, both in fitness and life, learning to challenge limiting beliefs, continue showing up, and pushing myself to achieve new heights. The Move Trainer, their debut shoe, is built for serious movement and versatility. It’s designed for high performance in the gym and wherever life takes you. Proud of the work we did at Barrel to bring this story to life on Shopify and to be part of this project. Kudos to everyone involved, and here’s to the beginning.

    Riig is a premium waterproof hat company designed for water enthusiasts. We reimagined their omnichannel experience including their Shopify e-commerce site, email campaigns, and social media strategy to support their expanding product line, enhance brand awareness, and boost sales through product education and social proof. A core component of the Riig redesign product storytelling was to highlight the hat’s waterproof functionality and unique micro-fit snapback closure which offers a precision fit that no other snapback hat can. To enhance customer retention and increase customer confidence when purchasing, we migrated Riig from Yotpo to Okendo and introduced a new referral program to grow their community.

    Some of our most rewarding projects aren't full-scale redesigns or multi-month endeavors. They're targeted initiatives designed to help a client achieve a specific outcome quickly and effectively. Last year, we collaborated with Theralogix, a precision nutrition brand who offers a diverse range of supplements supporting various aspects of health, including fertility, prenatal care, cardiovascular wellness, and more. Our task? Migrate their subscription and payment platform to Recharge. Most Theralogix customers visit with the website with a unique physician (or Provider Referral Code) code that provides them with a discounted, customized subscription. We worked closely with the client and Recharge crew to navigate these requirements and ensure a successful migration, while enabling a bunch of new features, like: → Allowing customers to enter or modify their member discount codes seamlessly. → Eliminating the need for manual code entry during checkout. → Streamlining the user experience by removing the hassle of inputting member numbers with each order.

    Aquor Water Systems redefined the traditional spigot by making a sleek and modern hydrant and other home & garden accessories. We helped Aquor increase customer acquisition and optimize the overall experience on their website. "At Aquor, we faced significant challenges with our website that hindered our ability to maximize app functionality and achieve optimal site performance and conversion rates across both our direct-to-consumer (DTC) and B2B sales channels. After reviewing several developers, Barrel emerged as the clear choice for us due to their focus on design, site performance metrics, and their commitment to clear project timelines. Barrel proved invaluable in helping us navigate through our outdated website constraints. Particularly on our B2B side, where we struggled with managing discounts, distribution, and retroactive adjustments for forgetful customers, Barrel offered a tailored solution outside of Shopify’s native capabilities. Their team provided clear guidance and support as we implemented Shopify’s B2B platform, enabling us to streamline access to Pro Pricing for our B2B clients. Now, our B2B customers enjoy a seamless purchasing experience, free from the distractions of DTC-specific content, which has significantly reduced friction in their buying journey. Throughout our partnership, Barrel not only met but exceeded our expectations. Their transparency in deliverables and project scope ensured we stayed on track with our timeline, and their ongoing support has been invaluable in maintaining our new platform. We are thrilled with the results and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration with Barrel." - Aiyoko Ishida, Marketing Manager at Aquor Water Systems Check out our full blog post here: https://lnkd.in/eNZZRxnU
