Elon
Elon is the Nordic region’s largest retail chain for consumer electronics and home appliances, with over 400 stores in Sweden alone. Learn about their recent new online store launch on the Magento Commerce below.
The Challenges
As a result of their plans to rebrand, Elon needed a new eCommerce platform. Their channels required a new brand concept with a modern in-person and online user experience.
Elon also saw a declining conversion rate online and had to put more focus on converting the customers in its digital commerce channels.
As Elon was about to introduce their new eCommerce platform, they were met with internal challenges. The physical stores saw the new online storefront as a competitor, rather than a part of an omnichannel customer experience.

“We chose Vaimo for their long experience delivering eCommerce solutions on the Magento platform, and we’ve had a fantastic collaboration with the team so far. What we have accomplished together, and the result after the launch is something we are extremely proud of.”
Jakob Dahlner, eCommerce Manager
Launching during the COVID-19 pandemic
As Elon unveiled its new brand and eCommerce site, COVID-19 began to radically transform consumer behaviour. Since physical locations saw a decrease in shoppers during the pandemic, the eCommerce experience became the front line for Elon’s interaction with potential customers. Additionally, older customers have turned to Elon’s online store for both research and purchases. Customers also use the eCommerce site to book the best times to pick up their products at a physical store. As a result, the improved online functionality allows Elon’s eCommerce store to support physical stores, which saw a decrease in foot traffic and sales during the pandemic.
Elon’s strategy aligns with the idea that online customer activity leads to greater in-person activity. When collecting products purchased online, for example, customers have purchased additional products in physical stores. Thanks to Elon’s omnichannel approach, they unify the customer’s online user experience with the great customer experience found at any of its storefronts.
Elon’s focus on the total experience for the customer–online, in-store, or both–earned it praise as the most empathetic company within its industry in the Nordic in 2020. Elon plans to further improve the omnichannel approach in the future. They are adding services to the eCommerce site, which are currently only offered in-store.
