From humble beginnings to seven-figure success

Clover Ferments is a leading brand in nourishing tonics, born from the owner’s personal desire to help her daughter overcome food sensitivities. Using anaerobic fermentation, the team developed a unique product with a small customer base. When it was time to expand, we worked with them to craft a compelling brand story and a high-converting website.

Who are they?

Clover Ferments produces nourishing tonics, designed to improve gut health and overall wellbeing. Hand-batch crafted in New Zealand, their fermented tonics use simple, honest ingredients. Inspired by the owner’s three-year-old daughter, Clover, this brand had a unique and authentic story to tell. They just needed someone to tell it.

Where were they when they met us?

When Clover Ferments approached us, they already had a great product and a few customers. The next step was to build a captivating website to grow their audience. Having come to us through a referral, we worked with them to bottle up a recipe for some serious growth.

What we did

Getting started with Squarespace

For startups, cost-effectiveness, and quick solutions are key. When building a website for Clover Ferments, we recommended a Squarespace website to validate their product and build their customer base. Squarespace’s flexibility allowed Clover Ferments to test the waters and make necessary tweaks, without breaking the bank.

 

 

Market validation

We guided the team through the market validation process, leveraging Squarespace’s capabilities to gauge customer interest and refine their offerings. Once they hit their first $100k in revenue, it was clear their product had strong market potential.

 

 

Scaling up with Shopify

As sales soared to $20k a month, we transitioned the team to a high-performing Shopify website with Klaviyo. While anyone can start a Shopify site using a generic template, standing out and enhancing usability requires an experienced team of web designers. That’s where Backbone comes in. We create custom designs and high-converting websites beyond the basic tools. For Clover Ferments, we guided them through our design process to create a one-of-a-kind website that delivered results.

 

 

Custom solutions

Considering the unique needs of Clover Ferments, we integrated advanced shipping and pricing solutions to handle both weight-based and location-based logistics. We also integrated their website with ReCharge for a seamless subscription service.

 

To boost conversions, we designed a compelling product page with secure payment icons in a chic greyscale treatment for a high-quality aesthetic. We incorporated accordions and FAQ blocks to make it easier for customers to find the information they needed. We also used mixed static and scrolling sections and integrated a slide cart to improve usability.

The Outcome

Clover Ferments received a bespoke website that propelled their growth across New Zealand. With 29k followers on Facebook and rapidly increasing sales, they’re on track to hit over a million dollars by the end of the year. The website also has an average conversion rate of 7.5% and works flawlessly on all devices.
