Need a vintage wool baseball jersey for a chilly Spring game, or want to show your support for the Draft in authentic NFL apparel DMi has just made that easier. DMi Partners, Inc., a full-service interactive marketing and e-business management firm, announced today the re-design and launch of the new Mitchell & Ness (M & N) website, the pioneer in throwback sportswear. The substantial redevelopment of the M & N site was implemented to vastly improve customer experience, as well as to offer M & N more flexibility when merchandising their products and servicing their customer's needs.
"Partnering with DMi has proved invaluable for my company. Our online sales have skyrocketed, and our marketing dollars are going farther than ever before. DMi emphasizes accountability
and provides detailed results reports, which allows us to be more strategic and efficient," says Sean McKinney, General Manager of Mitchell & Ness.
As the interactive agency of record for over three years, DMi brought to the table a strong understanding of the M&N business. They were now tasked by M & N, to redevelop the site
for this leading-edge vintage sportswear company. The business has evolved from an authentic jersey and jacket maker into more lifestyle products, which require fashion-based customers to
be able to navigate in the manner they are used to.
With Mitchell & Ness' loyal customers of die-hard fans and fashion-forward individuals in mind, DMi's developers successfully built and launched a fresh, innovative website that
features a host of new navigation tools, including a dynamic two-tiered navigation system, which allows visitors to navigate either by their favorite team or by product type, regardless
of team. The decision to add this two-tier navigation system was driven by M&N adding many new lifestyle lines to its core authentic jersey and jacket lines. The Featured Product
section was born from a desire to highlight the detail and quality of each garment that M&N produces. This section offers a unique merchandising interaction whereby visitors can
mouse-over call-outs on a select group of core garments that highlight the features that makes a given product unique to M&N.In addition, as part of the comprehensive redesign
implementation, DMi more prominently displayed the on-site search box. The DMi team also streamlined the checkout process into a single page -- reducing customer checkout time
significantly.
In fact, since partnering with DMi in 2005, Mitchell and Ness has seen a steady increase in the quantity of sales and quality of customer service, while decreasing their call center
expenses; improvements in the funnel process that have yielded a higher conversion rate; increased communication with current customers through e-mail offers and personal attention; and
positive customer feedback through surveys and focus group polling. They have also streamlined the M & N back-end processes for less error and improved customer service efficiency.
