Claire’s selected LYONSCG because of its deep experience with Salesforce Commerce Cloud, as well as LYONSCG’s ability to provide high-quality service for leading retailers and brands. It delivered the new sites within a four-month timeframe to meet Claire’s aggressive schedule.
“LYONSCG was incredibly responsive to our needs. This was a complex project on a very aggressive schedule and the team delivered on time and under budget, without compromising quality and creativity. Our new sites are a huge step forward and we are already seeing great results,” said Kristen Taganashi, Vice President Global Ecommerce, Claire’s Stores, Inc.
The sites feature a mobile-first digital experience that captures the spirit of Claire’s and Icing brands, including custom illustration designed to delight and inspire its young, fashion-forward customers. To replicate the fun, engaging in-store experience, LYONSCG developed a new, immersive digital experience featuring rich imagery, playful animation and detailed product content.
