LET’s TALK

The Challenge

Before partnering with Global-e, Astley Clarke, the fine jewelry brand founded by Bec Astley Clarke MBE, was not unfamiliar with international e-commerce; the brand had shipped to over 100 countries. However, it suffered from typical international e-commerce barriers such as high shipping rates, a lack of import duties and tax calculation, few local returns options, and difficulties supporting local currencies and payment methods, which hampered conversions in territories further afield. Astley Clarke shoppers in the UK were three times more likely to convert than international shoppers, which prompted the brand to explore how it could establish itself more firmly as an international multi-channel luxury brand.

To be competitive in international markets, Astley Clarke needed to deliver a more engaging customer shopping experience that matched the high standard of service that its UK customers received. In particular, Astley Clarke wanted to gain the trust of international visitors and improve conversion rates in destinations worldwide. Like many other retailers, Astley Clarke found it difficult to justify an in-house investment in localizing its offering for international markets, and realized it could find a global partner to better serve its needs and reach its international sales goals.

The Solution

In order to accelerate its online expansion, deliver a seamless shopping experience to international shoppers, and maximize ROI from its global online operations, Astley Clarke decided to partner with Global-e, the leading provider of international e-commerce solutions. Astley Clarke was drawn to Global-e’s comprehensive and broad solution, combined with an agile and flexible approach and extensive local market knowledge and insights.

By implementing Global-e’s international e-commerce solution, Astley Clarke was able to offer a localized experience to its international customers, including:

  • Localized welcome pop-up message ­­- displaying key reasons to shop with Astley Clarke, payment methods accepted for key countries, and giving international shoppers the assurance they need to shop on the website
  • Localized content – Astley Clarke is now able to identify shoppers’ locations and show relevant country-specific messaging on the site and in email campaigns
  • Local currencies and local pricing capabilities – presenting prices in local currency (100+ supported currencies) and in a rounded manner for a fully localized pricing strategy
  • 150+ localized payment methods supported and presented depending on the shopper’s country
  • Localized multi-lingual checkout – enabling checkout in 30+ different languages
  • Tax and duty calculation and prepayment – offering shoppers the option to pre-pay all taxes and duties on their orders to prevent any unpleasant surprises upon delivery
  • Faster, cheaper tracked delivery – allowing Astley Clarke to offer free delivery on all orders
  • A fully managed, easy-to-use returns portal

In addition, Global-e handles Astley Clarke’s compliance with distance selling regulations and local VAT registration across the EU.

“Working with Global-e has enabled us to smash our international growth targets over the past years or so. We have transformed the way our international customers shop with us by providing them with a fully localized ecommerce experience tailored to their market. We’ve grown profits, revenue and conversion rates exponentially, and witnessed increased satisfaction from our international customers. Now we can comfortably sell our products all over the world in an environment that is on-brand and meets our customer’s needs. Working with Global-e has been instrumental in achieving these ambitious goals for the business.” Working with Global-e has allowed us to significantly enhance our global e-commerce experience. Within just a year our share of international online revenues has risen by over 30%.”
Vicky Bell,

Head of Ecommerce

The brand has also seen an increase in conversion rates from international visitors of more than 160%.

Within a year of implementation, the AOV of international shoppers grew by 34%.
