It’s been a little over a year since Alkaram launched its Shopify website in 2023, and the studio has ambitious plans to generate revenue from the site. Currently, they conduct about 30% of their sales online and are eager to increase this to 50%.

Advanced CSS StylingOf course, we wanted to make sure that none of these widgets look like a misfit on Alkaram’s Website.

What’s coming next?
Alkaram is always eager to explore new personalization features; here’s what they’re experimenting with
- Personalized Banners: With these banners, Alkaram personalizes its web pages for targeted segments to offer discounts, release new collections, and more. Alkaram is also displaying custom banners to shoppers who return to the website after leaving items in their carts through retargeting ads.
”The personalized banners are great. Before, our video ads would display certain products, but when customers visited the website, they’d see something different—no connection between the two. Now, with these banners and wildcard carousels, we can showcase the exact products featured in the video ads. It creates a smooth, uninterrupted journey for our buyers.”
– Muneeb Tasneem, Digital Marketing Manager, Alkaram Studio
- Wild Card: Alkaram is finding it helpful to test hand-picked collections on specific audience segments & gauge responses.
”We’re very transparent, strongly receptive to feedback, pro-active in our support. This has helped us create an amazing relationship with Alkaram, and we can’t wait to recreate this with many more merchants.”
