Edles Design und höchste Ästhetik im Online Shop von Bucherer

The challenge

Aesthetics, tradition and precision: these are the values Bucherer has represented since 1888. Meanwhile the Swiss family business has become the world’s second largest luxury retailer. Thus, the demands of Bucherer’s customers has also changed: digital touch points, high-quality content and personalized shopping experiences are important elements of a convincing customer journey in the digital age. To push their own digital transformation, the Swiss traditional company needs a fully digitalized sales strategy.

Our approach.

Brand values become digitally palpable.

Bucherer’s brilliant pieces of jewelry need an appropriate stage, which digitally mirrors their tradition, precision and aesthetics. When visiting the website the user dives deep into Bucherer’s world of experience: high-resolution images show gems, pearls and metals at their most beautiful side. Videos show the craftsmanship of watchmakers in an impressive and perceptible way and the founding fathers of the traditional company present themselves in a high-class look. The content responds to the user’s scrolling and thus supports his/ her interaction with the multimedia content.

Technical pioneer with Sitecore Experience Commerce.

Bucherer decided to apply Sitecore Experience Commerce and combine e-commerce with impressive content marketing. The user discovers a personalized customer experience which connects the digital world with real experiences: due to click-to-collect functionality and a shop locator Bucherer is able to stay in contact with its customers even when they are offline.

Inspiration and exclusive content.

What do exclusive guides for city-trips, exciting insights into the craftsmanship of watchmakers, and advisors for purchasing gems have in common? They offer users inspiration and information. High-quality content thus is of major importance for our approach. It presents the company’s expertise in the fields of jewelry, watches and luxury in an illustrative fashion. Above that interviews and portraits show the people behind the scenes of the jeweler.
