Bees & Trees
Bees & Trees stands at the forefront of the Manuka honey industry, known for its exceptional small-batch products from New Zealand. The company embarked on a transformative journey with SeedX to revitalize its online identity, leverage digital strategies that reflect the premium quality of its honey, and communicate its unique health benefits to a global audience.
Strategic Partnership with SeedX
Initially reliant on in-store sales with minimal online presence, Bees & Trees’s outdated website and disjointed digital marketing strategy limited its market reach. The company faced the challenge of modernizing its brand presence and effectively communicating the unique value of its products in a competitive health and wellness industry.
Goals at the onset of the partnership included:
- Revamp the Bees & Trees website to better showcase their product and knowledge.
- Establish customer acquisition channels via media buying and SEO.
- Create a community and retain customers via email marketing, blog content, and organic social media.
A Comprehensive Digital Revamp
SeedX implemented a comprehensive digital strategy that included:
Website Redesign for Direct-to-Consumer Excellence
SeedX redesigned a modern and educational website that aligns with Bees & Trees’s brand identity, showcasing the purity and premium nature of Manuka honey. It also focused on user experience, implementing intuitive navigation and mobile optimization to meet contemporary user expectations. We streamlined the purchasing process by introducing a single-page checkout system to enhance efficiency.
