Transforming Hanna Hats into an E-Commerce Powerhouse
Hanna Hats is a 100 year old family business rooted in Irish craftsmanship. Until 2016, it operated only as a wholesale brand. Known for handcrafted tweed hats, the shift to e commerce brought new challenges.
Overview Project
Hanna Hats, a 100-year-old family business rooted in traditional Irish craftsmanship, had solely operated as a wholesale enterprise until 2016. Renowned for their handcrafted, high-quality tweed headwear, the company faced significant challenges as they ventured into e-commerce.
Challenges
- Lack of Focus on E-Commerce: Prior to 2016, their business was exclusively wholesale, with minimal investment in digital marketing.
- Impact of COVID-19: The pandemic shut brick-and-mortar stores, halting wholesale orders and leaving e-commerce as their sole revenue stream.
- Initial E-Commerce Struggles: Early efforts in online sales yielded limited success, with low traffic and conversion rates.
The focus of this project was to turn that heritage into consistent online revenue through search.
