Project Overview
Having traded online since 2003, Calendar Club have a well-established ecommerce operation alongside their stores. As the stores are seasonal, the website is their sole order driver throughout a large part of the year - people still want to buy calendars in the middle of the year believe it or not! Also, now their range has expanded to include gift lines such as stationery, mugs, socks and more, there is demand for non-dated products any way, making ecommerce primary to their business.
Replatforming
Once the pandemic hit and the site became their only sales channel it underlined the issues even more. The decision was taken to replatform as it was no longer a case of 'making do', the website was too important to their revenue. They chose to replatform to tradeit as they liked the platform, the price, the timelines, and the 'feel' of the company. They also liked that the platform was well established, constantly upgraded and maintained.
