About Vastranand 

Vastranand is a DTC ethnic wear brand known for bringing India's cultural richness to life with its unique designs. Its website offers beautiful collections of sarees, lehengas, and dupattas. The brand wanted to create an online shopping experience that reflected the vibrancy of its products. To do this, they implemented shoppable videos on their website. But they quickly ran into a problem—the tool they used slowed down the page speed massively.

If customers can't view a product, they can't buy it. This slowdown caused higher bounce rates and a drop in conversions.

The Challenge

Vastranand was facing these main challenges. 

  1. They wanted to add around 2,000 videos on their website without impacting page speed.  
  2. They wanted to create an immersive, on-brand shopping experience for potential customers.
  3. Beyond boosting engagement, they also aimed to drive revenue through video content.  
  4. They also needed to streamline the buying journey. They wanted to do this by reducing the steps required for customers to purchase.

  1. Shoppable videos on ad landing pages

Vastranand runs ads on Google. They added shoppable videos to their ad landing pages to increase credibility and give visitors all the information they need to make a purchase decision. All these videos are interactive, meaning they have CTAs (calls to action) embedded in them. Unlike normal videos, where visitors have to search for the product manually, these videos take them directly to the product page of the product mentioned in the video. 

This streamlines the purchase journey by reducing the steps needed for checkout. By adding shoppable videos, Vastranand has increased the conversion rate on their ads landing pages.
