SkinShop.lt Enhances Customer Engagement Across Multiple Channels with Tidio’s AI Platform

Lithuanian skincare e-commerce company leverages Tidio’s omnichannel solution to boost engagement rates and generate more leads while maintaining personalized customer service.

SkinShop.lt is an e-commerce company based in Lithuania that specializes in professional skincare products. Founded in January 2024 by experienced cosmetologist Katerina Stankūnė, the company uniquely combines digital and physical retail through its online store and boutique in Vilnius, offering customers both convenience and personalized skincare consultation.

• Industry: E-commerce (Professional Skincare)
• Channels: Website widget, Instagram, Facebook, and custom domain

As a recently launched e-commerce business in the competitive skincare market, SkinShop.lt faced several critical challenges:

• Building Brand Awareness: As a new entrant in January 2024, the company needed to quickly establish its presence and reputation.
• Customer Acquisition: Attracting customers to a new skincare platform required engaging potential customers effectively across multiple channels.
• Personalized Experience: Skincare customers expect expert guidance similar to in-store consultations, which is difficult to scale in an online environment.
• Cross-Channel Communication: Managing customer inquiries coming from various platforms (website, social media) efficiently and consistently.
• Resource Constraints: As a new business, the team needed to maximize efficiency with limited staff while maintaining high service standards.

SkinShop.lt needed a solution that could help them engage potential customers, efficiently address inquiries, and convert visitors into buyers without requiring a large customer service team.

After evaluating several customer service solutions, SkinShop.lt chose Tidio’s AI platform for its omnichannel capabilities and customizable automation. The implementation included:

• Integration Across Multiple Channels: Unified customer communications from the website widget, Instagram, Facebook, and their domain into a single interface.
• Customized Lead Generation Bots: Deployed AI chatbots specifically designed to initiate conversations with site visitors and collect contact information.
• Sales Conversion Bots: Implemented specialized bots to guide customers through product selection and purchasing decisions.
• Pre-Chat Engagement: Utilized proactive chat initiation to engage visitors before they needed to reach out with questions.

The implementation was completed quickly, allowing SkinShop.lt to launch with a robust customer engagement system already in place.

Within the first months of operation, SkinShop.lt saw measurable improvements in customer engagement and lead generation:

• 27.64% Sales Bot Engagement Rate: More than a quarter of visitors engaged with the sales-focused bots, significantly higher than industry standards, helping guide customers through product selection.
• 9.06% Lead Generation Bot Success: The specialized lead generation bots successfully captured contact information from over 9% of site visitors, creating a valuable database for future marketing efforts.
• 4.71% Pre-Chat to Visit Conversion: Nearly 5% of all website visitors engaged with pre-chat bots, initiating conversations that might not have happened otherwise.
• Unified Channel Management: Successfully integrated customer service across four different channels, ensuring consistent messaging and response times regardless of how customers reached out.
• Efficient Resource Allocation: The small team was able to focus on product development and in-store consultations while Tidio handled routine inquiries and initial customer engagement.

By implementing Tidio’s AI platform from its launch, SkinShop.lt has established a strong foundation for customer engagement and service despite being a new entrant in the competitive skincare market. The multi-channel approach and impressive engagement rates demonstrate how effectively the right tools can help new e-commerce businesses compete with established players by providing responsive, helpful customer interactions at scale.
