The challenge

Kogel makes some of the best drivetrain hardware in cycling, but the store and the marketing weren’t keeping up with the product. Email was underused, and the site needed functionality the theme couldn’t give it.

What we did

We rebuilt the website and added the functionality it was missing: custom product dropdowns, custom apps, and the configurable options a components catalog needs. We run all paid media and all of Klaviyo, campaigns and flows, and we ran the giveaways and launch moments that brought new riders onto the list. Paid-social purchases grew about 16% year over year.

The outcome

Email now drives roughly 40% of store revenue. More than half of Kogel’s customers are returning riders, about double the ecommerce norm.
