Powering eBike Interest with Digital Marketing and Ecommerce

Baby Boomers and Generation X will remember the Blaupunkt brand as being synonymous with high-fidelity car stereos. Today, Blaupunkt is setting the pace for eBikes.

Challenges

Blaupunkt teamed up with Americaneagle.com to shift their eBike website and digital marketing strategies into high gear. They aimed to quickly transform a limited website that was little more than a digital brochure into a scalable ecommerce engine to drive interest and growth for Blaupunkt eBikes. The initial digital marketing focus would need to maximize their exclusive eBike licensing contract with many popular universities in the U.S. market. This licensing enables college fans to customize Blaupunkt eBikes with their favorite team logos and colors.
The challenges we faced in evolving from a basic online brochure to a scalable, dynamic ecommerce platform were significant. The integration of customizable eBike options, including collegiate branding, has proven to be a key differentiator for our brand. The professionalism, agility, and creativity that your team brought to the table were instrumental in bringing this project to life, and we’re excited about the path ahead.

Solutions

To confidently expedite the launch of the new commerce-driven website experience for eBike shoppers, the team chose to develop solutions within Shopify. Specific considerations led to that selection. Shopify’s built-in capabilities to spin up a high-performing, customer-first online store was at the top of the list. Other platform features affirmed Shopify as the best platform selection, such as product catalog versatility, seamless connection with inventory data, and a next-generation cloud hosting setup that provides excellent speed, scalability, and security.

Blaupunkt and Americaneagle.com also initiated a marketing strategy to run parallel with website redevelopment. It prioritized an expanded and coordinated plan to introduce Blaupunkt eBikes to the right audiences. All new website assets were tactfully influenced by marketing goals, injecting targeted, intent-driven keywords to advance visibility within search engines. Ambitious email list cultivation emphasized not only the number of subscribers, but also separated lists into persona-targeted segments, enabling the marketing team to pinpoint messaging and timing to specific relationship types. Social media profiles have been intelligently aligned with digital advertising efforts, as well as some carefully selected mainstream advertising campaigns.

The new website launched with equally impressive project turnaround time and modern ecommerce performance. When visitors arrive on the new homepage, their first impressions are shaped by engaging video and product photography showcasing the portability and quality of Blaupunkt eBikes. Developers created a customized image widget on the homepage that now enables users to click on designated hotspots on a prominent eBike image. Upon clicking, expanded graphics introduce more detail about the signature features of Blaupunkt eBikes.

The Shopify ecommerce advantage is seen throughout the all-new online shopping experience. Shoppers interested in purchasing a Blaupunkt eBike can now do so quickly and easily. Customizations of each eBike, like choosing the logo and color options available for their college alma mater, are as simple as point-and-click. All inventory and available eBike options are continually updated. The payment methods, tax, and shipping options offered to each shopper are automated by Shopify Payments in relation to shopper and shipping locations. Shopify’s accelerated checkout further simplifies the buying process, pre-filling billing and shipping information for those who have previously purchased online from other Shopify merchants.

Americaneagle.com is excited to be partnering with Blaupunkt in the introduction of these high-performance, durable, compact, and affordable folding eBikes.
