Case Study: Garden Winds achieves 24% year-over-year sales growth with Newthink and Shopify Plus

Garden Winds boosts sales 24% in first month after migrating to Shopify Plus with Newthink

Garden Winds, a vendor of replacement gazebo and patio canopies, was struggling with an aging Magento storefront. The site was slow, prone to outages, and entirely reliant on a single developer for even minor updates, which created a significant business risk. Needing to move off this brittle platform without losing their valuable organic search rankings, they partnered with Newthink for a migration to Shopify Plus.

Newthink managed the full migration to Shopify Plus, ensuring a decade of catalog, customer, and order history was transferred without loss. They prioritized SEO continuity with a comprehensive redirect strategy and replaced fragile customizations with maintainable tools. As a result, Garden Winds saw a 24% year-over-year sales increase in their first full month on the new platform, eliminated unexplained downtime, and gained the ability for their team to handle everyday updates independently.
