Launched in April 2019, Eddie Sale is a growing UK-based electronics store that offers affordable, reliable gadgets and tech products. Founded by Amanda White, the store was built on the OpenCart platform to avoid the high monthly fees of SaaS-based eCommerce solutions.
As the online marketplace grew more competitive and customer expectations changed, Amanda realized the store needed smarter solutions to stay ahead. That’s when she discovered Knowband’s Opencart plugins, which ended up revolutionizing how the business operates.
“I spent hours writing product descriptions, but I was still not happy when I read the content of the products.” Amanda White said.
Mobile App Revolution
Amanda used the OpenCart Mobile Builder App which helps her to launch her own app for the store without any coding expertise. Additionally, Amanda revealed that more than 65% of her traffic now comes from mobile devices. “We were totally missing the mobile traffic before” she admitted.
The team took a chance on Knowband’s Mobile App Builder without huge expectations. The results surprised everyone with how quickly things changed.
Results were amazing:
- Mobile orders jumped 40% in just two months
- Average session time went from a measly 2 minutes to over 6
- Load times dropped significantly
AI-Powered Content Creation
The Knowband’s OpenCart ChatGPT AI Content Generator Module helps the store to generate the product description as well as meta details and obviously category details. Moreover, this module became a game-changer for Eddie Sale, especially when it came to handling product and category content.
Before using the AI content generator, Amanda had to manually write every single product description, category text, and SEO meta detail.
Implementing Knowband’s AI Content Generator:
- Generated and translated the content for products
- They expanded into 3 new language markets almost accidentally
- The team reclaimed 40+ hours monthly for customer service
- Organic traffic climbed 28% from the SEO benefits
Moreover, Amanda’s take was refreshingly honest: “The content was very informative and good. When I first read the description of my own products, it really looked motivating”
Smart Cross-Selling That Actually Works
Cross-selling pr showing related products was once a tough task by manual process that required constant updating and monitoring. Also, since downloading Knowband’s Automatic Related Product module, customers now seamlessly see relevant suggestions based on their browsing history and cart items or the product that they want.
Results:
- Average cart value increased by $23.40 (28%)
- Customers spent longer exploring the site
