About Mixology
Mixology is a fashion retailer with multiple physical stores and a loyal offline customer base. Known for delivering a boutique shopping experience through its curated collections and personalised in-store services, the brand has built trust with shoppers who value the in-store service and the boutique feel of its retail presence.
However, as the retail landscape shifted, Mixology realized that offline alone wasn’t enough. Customers were increasingly becoming mobile-first, browsing collections online before ever stepping into a store. While the brand’s offline presence was strong, its digital presence was underdeveloped. Despite healthy interest, customers weren’t converting, and retention was nearly nonexistent.
Mixology knew that to stay competitive, they needed more than a website. They needed a mobile app that could merge offline trust with online convenience, driving loyalty across both channels and creating a true omnichannel brand experience. The challenge was clear: create an app that could extend the Mixology experience beyond physical locations, deliver the same level of personalization, and integrate seamlessly with its offline business.
That’s when they partnered with Appbrew.
The Roadblocks to a Great Customer Experience
Despite Mixology’s strong offline presence and loyal in-store customer base, its digital channels were falling behind. As the majority of its traffic shifted to mobile, the brand faced four major challenges:
Suboptimal Conversions on Mobile Web
Although Mixology was attracting strong traffic to its mobile site, performance was underwhelming. Conversion rates were low and engagement time averaged only seconds before customers bounced. Shoppers were interested enough to browse, but the journey wasn’t smooth or engaging enough to translate into purchases. This gap between traffic and conversions limited Mixology’s ability to scale digital revenue.
Additional Channel to Connect with Customers
Mixology had no dedicated app, relying only on its website and physical stores to serve customers. While the stores delivered a boutique, high-touch experience, the web fell short in creating the same level of connection. With most customers browsing from mobile devices, Mixology lacked a sticky digital touchpoint that could drive long-term engagement, loyalty, and retention. Without an app, the brand couldn’t match its offline strength with a scalable digital channel.
Disconnected Customer Journeys
Mixology’s offline loyalty program was a key part of its store experience, rewarding repeat shoppers and building retention. But without the right digital infrastructure, this loyalty program couldn’t extend online. Rewards and recognition were fragmented, leaving customers with two different experiences depending on where they shopped. The brand wanted a unified loyalty system that connected offline and online seamlessly.
Limited Personalization in Marketing
As part of its marketing strategy, the brand wanted to deliver location-specific pushes, such as store event invites or promotions tailored to a customer’s city. Without the infrastructure to target campaigns by geography or customer behavior, messages risked being irrelevant, reducing their impact and engagement.
The Transformation with Appbrew
Appbrew partnered with Mixology to develop an app that went beyond just replicating the web to design a digital shopping experience that centred around engagement, personalization, and omnichannel integration.
Instagram-Like Shoppable Videos
Appbrew introduced a vertical, Instagram-style video feed directly inside the app. This feature transformed Mixology’s catalog into an entertainment-driven experience, where users could swipe through styled outfits and instantly shop looks they loved. Videos link directly to product pages, bridging inspiration and purchase in one flow.

Conversion-Focused Shopping Journeys
Appbrew helped Mixology design shopping flows that went beyond single-product browsing. Features like Shop the Look and curated feeds such as Our Featured Mix and Shop by Occasion encouraged cross-selling and discovery, while upsell prompts in search, PDPs, carts, and even empty wishlists nudged customers toward bigger baskets.

With Appbrew, Mixology extended its loyalty program seamlessly from stores to digital. Shoppers could now earn and redeem rewards whether they purchased in-app or offline, creating one connected experience that strengthened retention and encouraged repeat purchases across every channel.

Location-Based Push Campaigns
Through Appbrew’s Klaviyo integration, Mixology gained the ability to send city-specific push notifications. Whether it was alerting shoppers about in-store events or localized promotions, the brand could now reach customers with hyper-relevant messages that drove both foot traffic and digital conversions.

Strategic Launch Success
Mixology was onboarded with Appbrew’s enterprise plan. The Appbrew team managed app store setup, analytics integrations, and strategy support, ensuring Mixology’s transition to mobile was smooth from day one.
The Results: From Offline-Heavy to Omnichannel Growth
Within just the first month of launch, Mixology’s app demonstrated tangible and measurable impact, validating its role as a critical growth engine and a bridge between offline and online.
- 2x Increase In Conversions
The app achieved double the conversion rate of the website, showing how smoother shopping flows and a dedicated mobile experience helped more visitors complete purchases.
- 50% Higher Average Order Value
Customers didn't just convert more but they also spent more. Average order value on the app was 50% higher than the website, fueled by discovery-led features and strategic upsells and cross-sells that encouraged shoppers to add complementary products and boosted basket size. - 15% Revenue Contribution From App
In the first few days of its launch, the app quickly scaled to contribute 15% of overall revenue, surpassing Mixology's initial goal and establishing itself as a key digital sales channel. - 3x Stronger Engagement Than Web
The app drove nearly three times more engagement than the website, giving customers space to browse, explore categories, and interact with Mixology's curated collections in a way that mirrored the discovery-led experience of shopping in-store.
The results made one thing clear: the app was not just a digital add-on. It had quickly become a central channel for conversions, engagement, and revenue, creating the infrastructure to deliver a consistent brand experience across both stores and digital.
