Approach

Operating with a high-value bespoke offering and premium inventory, J. Mueser needed to refine the site's user experience to better showcase their inventory, reduce purchase friction, and build a more profitable online conversion funnel.

We were brought in to provide dedicated ongoing ecommerce management, effectively becoming J. Mueser's ecommerce team. Our focus was on implementing commercial and technical strategy, and putting trading structure and discipline in place to drive consistent commercial results and deliver transformative growth.

Challenge

The brand faced key operational and technical hurdles that constrained digital growth and limited engagement across channels. The key challenges included

  • Weak User Experience: Despite a reputation for world-class product and content, the site experience was poor - struggling to elevate the brand's narrative or to showcase the product effectively for conversion.
  • CRM Limitations: The brand was experiencing commercial roadblocks due to a restricted CRM setup on Flodesk, which lacked the robust attribution and engagement metrics required for scale.
  • Low Visibility: Their high-value tailoring lacked sufficient visibility, keeping the Average Order Value lower than its true potential.

The Commercial Impact

Through targeted Ecommerce Management and CRM migration support, J. Mueser achieved exceptional commercial outcomes, seeing unprecedented growth across revenue, AOV, and brand engagement.

FAQs

What does Heur actually do?

Accordion Arrow

We're a commercial operating partner for ecommerce brands. We embed senior operators into your business to own strategy, trading, paid media and CRM, with solutions crafted around your specific needs.

What size of business do you work with?

Accordion Arrow

Product-led DTC brands, generally £1m to £25m+ in ecommerce revenue, with a sweet spot around £10m. The common thread is a strong product and brand looking for the right architecture and delivery mechanisms to scale.

How are you different from other ecommerce agencies?

Accordion Arrow

The difference lies in visibility. A channel agency owns one account and answers for that account's metrics. We view channels alongside margin, stock and the customer base. This allows trade-offs to be made holistically, ensuring we answer for the business's bottom line rather than a single channel's performance.

What does the engagement structure look like?

Accordion Arrow

A weekly strategy or trading meeting, always-on Slack access throughout the week, and a deeper monthly review against the roadmap. Everything runs in 30-, 60- and 90-day sprints against a longer-term plan.

Can you work alongside our internal team or existing agencies?

Accordion Arrow

Yes – integrating alongside existing teams and agencies is a common operational setup. We provide the senior strategic layer, aligning all internal talent and external partners to a single, unified commercial plan, ensuring seamless execution without disrupting the roles that are already performing well.

How much does an engagement cost?

Accordion Arrow

It depends on scope. Engagements are priced against ecommerce revenue and complexity rather than a flat rate. Once we understand your turnover and goals, we can put a clear number in front of you.

Do you build or design websites?

Accordion Arrow

We're not a design and development agency. We work with a trusted network of development partner agencies to support with clients' dev requirements, and can provide stewardship, project management and commercial strategy support to ensure projects are delivered to their full potential.
