You know your product is hot in the US, and now you're ready to launch in global markets with the potential to double your sales. But 87% of consumers who don't speak and can't read English won't buy from an English website, and translation alone won't cut it. Automated and AI translation is easy to recognize by your customers and conveys your lack of investment in them. Instead, build lasting impressions that support deep, long-term relationships through quality localization. We’ve seen average daily sales increase by 68% regionally by localizing in-app text alone.

CSJC Multon is an innovative company developing, producing and distributing fruit-based foods including natural juices, nectars, and juice drinks.
Multon wanted to connect with buyers looking for a more natural juice experience and introduce the flavors most appealing to them.
Consumer expectations and preferences analysis:
Gravity analyzed consumer preferences on juice and fruit drink flavours to create a User Sentiment Map on product naturalness. We conducted social listening for online mentions of juices, their recipes, consumption patterns and flavour preferences. Further analysis resulted in stripping and skimming of the data gathered to form key insights. The final report included data on the popularity of flavors, responses to the promotion of natural juices, and "tips and tricks" used by people to produce a perfect homemade juice. Further, the report provided insights on problems with package design and possible fixes.
Based on recommendations from Gravity's User Sentiment Map, Multon adjusted their product range to meet customer preferences and rebranded to showcase the product elements most appealing to natural juice lovers. In response to new insights about functionality, Multon redesigned their packaging for increased accessibility.

Simple wanted to introduce their online marketplace to millenials and grow their 18+ client base.
Influencer campaign:
Gravity selected wines for popular and emerging influencers from Instagram and Facebook based on their profiles and sent them each a bottle with a personal card and a story behind the choice. In response, Influencers created images of themselves with the products, original artwork, and promotions, to connect Simple with each influencer’s audience. Both influencers and Simple shared the images on their social channels.
User generated content is more likely to be shared on social media and 92% of people would take the recommendation of another person over that of a brand when making a purchase. As a result of Gravity's influencer campaign, Simple received vibrant and attractive user generated content from millennial influencers in their local geo, reaching upwards of 171,400 regional viewers and generating 11,350 likes.

Henderson offers a wide range of luxury menswear and the best customer experience at an affordable price. Henderson is focused exclusively on menswear and its 160 stores aspire to be the number one destination for European men of median income for smart clothes.
Henderson wanted to convey the value of classic style and luxury trends in both clothing and suits, to men of median income who may not see themselves as being able to afford modern and fashionable clothing.
Social media ad management:
In order to move Henderson's social media audience from brand awareness to brand loyalty, Gravity designed simple animated videos that present the product as both a luxury and a utility, within every man's reach. Messaging for campaigns focused on Henderson's value proposition as the most affordable brand in the upper-middle market segment for elegant menswear and accessories. Henderson's brick and mortar locations are known for their superior customer service, so total packaging was presented to smooth integration of the online and offline customer experience. As evidence of the success of this omnichannel approach, Henderson reports that online sales are in constant growth.
By building out the target audience and communicating with them regularly, Gravity helped Henderson grow it's reputation among loyal buyers. Today, 85% of sales are made to loyalty card carrying customers. Reflecting the brand's strength in the market, Henderson reported 27% YoY growth for the first 19 weeks of 2017.
QUELLE offers exclusive clothing and shoes by European designers, as well as in-house and licensed brands.
Clothing outlet QUELLE was making the move from catalogue sales to online retail and wanted to connect with customers in ways that made shopping online fun and easy.
Develop on online community and create sales channels on social platforms:
Gravity built a community in Facebook to connect QUELLE with buyers and retain the social aspects of shopping. We then built a purchase tracking system for users to shop directly in Facebook rather than driving sales to an outside website. Based on community feedback, Gravity developed an adaptive content structure focused on conversions and a client service feature for buyers to get real-time support.
Having created a working infrastructure for communication with customers and trainings for QUELLE employees to continue to manage it, Gravity helped QUELLE transition quickly into online sales. Within the first six months, the QUELLE facebook community engaged 56,000 users and tripled revenue.
QUELLE was acquired by Postskriptum GmbH, a major wholesale clothing and shoe supplier to over 500 companies from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
