Case study - Levi's

PRODUCT DRIVEN TRANSFORMATION AT LS&CO

The problem

REDESIGN THE SELLING PROCESS FOR A DIGITAL FIRST ERA.

Levi’s had briefed Reason to transform their sales process, improving the customer experience, reducing the amount of samples. Working as one team with account managers, merchandisers, designers and executives, we spent 6 weeks creating prototyping and learning. What we learned was no matter how digital you make the selling session if clients have not engaged with the brands and products beforehand the selling sessions would be drawn out and tedious.

A MULTI MILLION DOLLAR BUYING EXPERIENCE?

Levi’s had briefed Reason to transform their sales process, improving the customer experience, reducing the amount of samples.
Our solution

Our solution was a chance to extend the selling session process, taking much of the focus — and intensity — off of the day (or days) in the showroom. We wanted to create more time for the buyer to familiarise themselves with their assortment, as well as the marketing campaign around the latest season.

Thanks to Covid what began as a digital pilot for 6 of their retail clients, suddenly needed to be instantly deployed across their European account network. The platform has now become a major strategic initiative for Levi’s, being expanded globally, covering owned retail stores and expanding across brands

“The co-development with our business partners is an example for the rest of our teams across IT.”
