Case Study: Shoe Carnival improves ecommerce search and conversions with Algolia

Shoe Carnival laces up for headless commerce with best-of-breed search and content solutions from Algolia and Amplience

Shoe Carnival, a footwear fashion retailer, needed a better way to handle complex merchandising and improve ecommerce search and product discovery. Using Algolia, the company overcame back-end catalog limitations that made it difficult to show products by color, and it also reduced the manual effort required to manage search and content changes.

Algolia helped Shoe Carnival split its catalog at the color level, speed up site updates, and use analytics and automated sorting rules to make smarter campaign decisions. The results included an immediate increase in site conversions, lower bounce rates, higher engagement, and doubled productivity; Algolia Recommend also drove gains in conversion from search, AOV, and basket size.
