Pine Wraps faced significant challenges competing in the digital marketplace while maintaining their reputation for handcrafted quality and personalized celebrations. Their existing website failed to showcase their exquisite products effectively, resulting in low online conversions and limited market reach despite their exceptional in-store experience and customer satisfaction.
AaiNova collaborated with Pine Wraps to develop a comprehensive digital transformation strategy focused on preserving their artisanal brand essence while expanding their digital footprint. By implementing a custom e-commerce solution with integrated celebration management tools, we created an immersive online shopping experience that highlighted their handcrafted cakes, fresh flower arrangements, and celebration packages.

The Chalange
Pine Wraps struggled to translate their exceptional in-store experience to the digital realm, losing potential customers to more established online competitors. Their outdated website lacked the visual appeal and functionality needed to showcase their handcrafted products effectively.
Order management and celebration planning processes remained largely manual, creating inefficiencies and limiting the business’s scalability. Staff spent excessive time on administrative tasks rather than focusing on product creation and customer relationship building.
Seasonal demand fluctuations created inventory management challenges, with either product shortages during peak periods or excess waste during slower times. Their limited digital presence made targeted marketing campaigns difficult to implement and measure.
What did AaiNova do
AaiNova conducted comprehensive user research to understand Pine Wraps’ customer journey and pain points, creating detailed personas and experience maps. This research informed the development of a custom e-commerce platform optimized for showcasing handcrafted products with high-quality visuals and immersive product stories.
We implemented an integrated celebration management system allowing customers to plan events, select complementary products, and schedule deliveries through an intuitive interface. The backend system provided inventory forecasting tools based on historical data and seasonal trends to optimize production schedules.
AaiNova developed a digital marketing strategy leveraging user-generated content and celebration stories to build an authentic online community. We created automated but personalized follow-up communications to maintain the brand’s reputation for exceptional customer service while scaling operations.
