Lilac & Co.
Premium ecommerce concept for a luxury artificial flower atelier. Custom checkout, editorial product pages, AI shopping assistant, cart abandonment recovery. The concept we'd build for any AU premium ecommerce brand that wants to escape the Shopify template trap and lift conversion.
Premium ecommerce on a Shopify template looks like every other store. Conversion suffers.
Most AU premium ecommerce brands run on the same handful of Shopify themes. A shopper landing on a $300 arrangement sees the same layout, the same product grid, the same checkout chrome she's seen on a dropshipper selling phone cases. The brand pays a premium to make the product, photograph it, and ship it, but the storefront does none of the work of justifying that price. Generic product pages list specs where they should tell a story, and the cart abandons the second a tab closes.
The follow-up is brutal too, because there isn't one. The brand pays Meta to acquire a customer, the customer browses, leaves at 11pm, and is never spoken to again. No SMS, no email, no win-back at 90 days. Returning buyers, the lifeblood of a premium label, aren't nurtured. So the brand keeps paying full retail to acquire new customers while the old ones quietly churn. CAC creeps up, LTV stays flat, and the founder wonders why the numbers don't work.
The full premium ecommerce stack.
- Editorial product pagesEvery product has a story. Full-bleed imagery, story-led copy, considered typography. Not template specs and a buy button.
- Custom checkout flowBranded throughout, no Shopify chrome, faster on mobile than the default. Designed to feel like the rest of the store.
- AI shopping assistantAnswers questions on care, sizing and materials. Recommends bundles. Books in-store consultations when the order calls for it.
- Cart abandonment recoverySMS and email sequence over 7 days. Personalised product callouts, soft tone, no spammy discount stack.
- Email and SMS lifecycleWelcome flow, post-purchase, repeat customer offers, win-back at 90 days. Built once, runs forever.
- Lookbook and SEO contentEditorial photo stories that rank in Google and double as social content. One asset, three channels of work.
A customer adds $340 to cart at 11pm. Closes the tab. Most brands lose her.
Below is the shopping assistant that converts browsers, and the recovery flow that wins back the cart she abandoned. Compressed to 25 seconds so you can scan it.
A premium brand that converts at premium rates. Customers who come back.
The editorial layer justifies the price tag, so the shopper stops comparing on dollars and starts buying into the world. The shopping assistant lifts conversion at the consideration stage, answering the questions that usually kill a sale. The abandonment flow recovers carts that would have walked out the door, and the lifecycle nurture turns one-time buyers into repeat customers. The net of it: LTV climbs faster than CAC, the unit economics open up, and the brand can afford to scale paid acquisition with confidence.
