Case Study

How did Breitling increase its online 
sales by identifying more visitors and collecting more data?

7 steps to declutter your online store and boost conversions

Breitling, the renowned Swiss luxury watch brand founded in 1884, is known for its constant innovation. As a pioneer in e-commerce since 2018, the brand witnessed a surge in online sales, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic, a period during which many companies had to make significant investments in digital platforms. To support this ongoing growth, Breitling turned to SaleCycle, a strategic partner capable of addressing its specific challenges and optimising its online operations.

Collaboration with SaleCycle
In November 2023, Breitling made a decisive move by partnering with SaleCycle, a company known for its customer journey optimisation and conversion-boosting solutions. This decision was not taken lightly. Inspired by a recommendation from an experienced e-commerce manager at Valentino, Breitling saw SaleCycle as a strategic partner capable of bringing a new dimension to their online strategy.

2. Basket Save: A key feature to capture user interest

In addition to abandoned cart messages, Breitling introduced a new feature called “Basket Save.” This feature, presented as a dynamic pop-in, allowed users to submit their contact details to receive a summary of their cart by email. This not only gave users time to consider their purchases but also allowed Breitling to maintain continuous communication with prospects.

The SaleCycle team supported Breitling throughout this process, identifying areas for improvement and implementing adjustments to maximise campaign results.

“Partnering with SaleCycle has been a valuable step in our digital strategy. Their solutions, especially the abandoned cart and remarketing tools, have helped us better engage with and convert visitors who were previously anonymous. We’ve seen steady improvements in user recognition and sales. What stands out about SaleCycle is not only their technology but also the expert support they offer, allowing us to optimise campaigns based on real-time performance. Their data-driven approach has made them a key partner in supporting our ongoing growth in the digital space.”
