The challenge
As a renowned brand, Rubans has a strong presence across various online marketplaces. However, the challenge lay in redirecting customers to their own website while providing an enjoyable and interactive experience. Their goal was to promote their products and enhance the average order value per customer. The strategy aimed to craft a customer-centric experience that would consistently encourage them to return for more.
