From a Slow WordPress Store to a 48% Conversion Lift — Rebuilding a Perfume Brand on Shopify
Overview
Usman Baig is an emerging eCommerce brand in the premium perfume niche, operating on WordPress with a basic theme and limited scalability for growth and paid advertising.

These issues collectively restricted the brand’s ability to scale profitably through paid media.
