Problems
While Pen & Paces had a strong brand identity within the running community, many shoppers tended to place smaller orders consisting of just one or two low-value items. This limited both revenue potential and customer engagement, with noticeable drop-offs in cart value once customers reached a certain spending threshold. The brand needed a way to encourage larger purchases without disrupting the positive and joyful shopping experience that defines its identity.

Our Approach
Turning Higher Order Values Into Conversion Wins
To overcome this challenge, Pen & Paces introduced a Free Gift incentive designed to reward customers for reaching higher order values and motivate them to add more products to their order. This approach aligned naturally with the brand’s upbeat personality — transforming larger purchases into moments of delight while strategically boosting both average order value (AOV) and overall conversion rate (CVR).
