Case Study: Monte Design achieves doubled web traffic and 12% revenue growth with Shopify Plus

Monte Design enlisted Merchant Growth Model to double its traffic goals

Monte, a Canadian home‑goods maker founded by Ralph and Michelle Montemurro, faced eroding sales from cheap “Monte‑esque” knockoffs and lacked visibility into customer journeys on its old platform. To address poor analytics, weak mobile experience, and stalled marketing, Monte migrated from Yahoo! Small Business to Shopify Plus and engaged Shopify Plus’s Merchant Growth Model (MGM) for expert guidance.

Shopify Plus helped Monte optimize Google Ads, prioritize mobile‑first design, improve site content (SEO, product slideshows, shipping incentives) and add a Find a Store feature, while MGM provided analytics and conversion tracking insights. As a result of Shopify Plus’s work, Monte saw a 15% uplift in web traffic, year‑over‑year revenue growth of 12%, nearly doubled a short‑term 5% traffic goal, and ultimately doubled its year‑over‑year traffic, restoring momentum across online and retail channels.
