Hammitt case study
About Hammitt
Since 2008 Hammitt has offered its customers an effortless style with a playful spirit. The collections are designed for a dynamic lifestyle with a focus on functionality. Quality craftsmanship to last the test of time is the standard at Hammitt, and they stand behind their products with a lifetime guarantee.
The Challenge
Building a community is at the core of Hammitt's DNA. Finding ways to showcase their story and products authentically is a top priority. A quick peek into Hammitt's social channels shows that fun is also at the forefront of their ethos.
The goal was to create an environment and a central hub to engage fans with the same fun spirit while highlighting new releases within their website. Finding the right platform to enable total control of the content and be showcased on their website was the challenge.
Discovery
Immerss was introduced to the Hammitt management team after they went through the software selection process and penciled in a competitor as a chosen platform. It took a twenty-minute meeting to convince them "there is a better way."
The following was essential to the team:
1
Seamless real-time catalog integration, making it easy to build the product gallery in seconds.
2
Automated way to embed live and recorded shoppable videos onto the brand's site, so it looks native.
3
Easy way to go live, broadcasted worldwide with good quality video and audio.
4
Allow a moderator to help the host answer chats and pin products to the screen as shown.
5
Multicast the event on social media to bring additional viewers.
6
The solution needs to be affordable and show the ROI.
The Solution
Immerss enables brands like Hammitt to have complete control of the content they produce and the ability to broadcast it right from their website.
Creating live events and building shoppable product carousels for customers to click and buy is done right from an easy-to-use app. All live events are recorded and stored so brands can build a library of shoppable on-demand content for customers to enjoy.
Sales reporting and viewership data are all easily accessible in Hammitt's Immerss dashboard, so commissioning hosts or calculating ROI on events is fully automated and takes no time from the management team. Re-streaming to the brand's existing social channels, like Facebook and Instagram, amplifies the event and captures a larger audience.
