“We realized that the tracking solution we were providing through our site wasn’t easy or intuitive for the consumer,” says their digital product manager. “Customers were still contacting us regularly to find out where their package was.” Looking for ways to improve the customer journey after the “buy” button, the team began to evaluate what was happening elsewhere in the space.
Says their digital product manager, “We started asking questions internally. ‘What has everyone been seeing? What does a positive tracking experience look like?’ Narvar was a name that just kept popping up.”
The team decided to take the leap and invest in new, innovative technologies that could optimize the customer’s post-purchase experience. But instead of committing to Narvar straight off the bat, they did some serious due diligence, including building its own solution in-house. As their manager of product management says, “Before we go whole hog with anything, we always make a point to test and learn first.”
“We’ve fostered a great relationship with the Narvar team, which has allowed us to move faster on other digital projects that we wouldn’t have otherwise had time for, while still maintaining a best-in-class tracking experience.”
The product team reallocated its resources to build an in-house system and then A/B tested against Narvar’s solution. They knew a side-by-side comparison would ultimately lead them to the most efficient, cost-effective platform. “We put a lot of work into figuring out which option would ultimately be best for us,” says their manager of product management.

“We see this as the future of order tracking,” says their manager of product management. “From the time a customer hits ‘buy’ to the time the package is received, Narvar helps us extend our brands through post-purchase channels and improve our buyer’s experiences across all touchpoints.”
From a decrease in customer calls to opening up revenue opportunities, the company has enjoyed a multitude of wins with Narvar. Its flagship brands have both seen customers come back to the sites through branded tracking pages and make even more purchases, with the more upscale brand seeing a slightly higher conversion rate. Overall, 2-3% of both brands’ customers bought something else after clicking through a Narvar tracking page.
Since the implementation of Narvar, the company has seen:
