Stride Rite’s implementation of Searchspring optimizes site search, product recommendations, and individualized content experiences
SAN ANTONIO, TX, March 29, 2022 — Searchspring, the global leader in site search, personalization, and merchandising, has announced its integration with Stride Rite, the premium children’s footwear brand of Vida Shoes International, to power its ecommerce growth strategy and improve the company’s shopping experience.
Stride Rite implemented Searchspring’s bundled solutions to create strategic ecommerce campaigns, and provide an unmatched customer experience through site search, product recommendations, and personalized experiences.
“Stride Rite’s wish list of digital features was growing rapidly, but so was our technical complexity and expenses to implement the changes,” said Brian McManus, Executive Vice President of Vida Shoes International. “Stride Rite’s newly launched tech stack, designed for future growth and stability, lowers our total cost of ownership significantly and empowers our ecommerce teams to focus on content, marketing, and acquisition to cultivate deeper relationships with our customers.”
In addition to Searchspring’s new search, recommendations, and personalization features powered by artificial intelligence (AI), Stride Rite also features a transformative redesign, a new navigation taxonomy streamlined for conversion, and mobile optimization built by digital agency CQL. The new Stride Rite website offers an industry leading digital experience built on Shopify Plus, a commerce platform designed for growth and scalability.
“CQL has shown incredible strategic value as a partner of Searchspring,” said Tom Turley, Director of Partnerships at Searchspring. “Not only are they a highly talented and proficient development agency, but they have also provided vital contributions to accelerating the Searchspring product.”
