Case Study: Lammes Candies achieves 48% YoY revenue growth and higher conversions with BigCommerce

Success Is Sweet For Lammes Candies After Bringing 135-Year-Old Business Online

Lammes Candies is a fifth‑generation, 135‑year‑old Austin confectioner known for its Texas Chewie® Pecan Pralines that sells via wholesale, retail and mail order. Facing rising competition and a legacy, homegrown order system that couldn’t scale or securely support modern ecommerce needs—especially multi‑recipient corporate gifting and temperature‑sensitive shipping—the team needed a more flexible, reliable platform to grow direct‑to‑consumer sales.

Lammes migrated to BigCommerce with local partner Fahrenheit Marketing and integrated ShipperHQ and ShipStation to enable native multi‑recipient orders, automated shipping rules, and a custom call‑center app with bulk upload. The new platform improved SEO and customer experience, cutting manual order processing from days to minutes and delivering strong results: 48% YoY revenue growth, a 15.25% lift in peak‑season conversions and a 6% increase in site traffic since launching the BigCommerce store.
