Challenge

Norstedts focused on their website as a key digital channel, especially vital when their authors appear in media, driving search traffic. They aimed to prominently feature their writers and books online, encouraging discovery and purchase. The website needed to be easy to manage for regular updates on books and authors, while also enhancing their social and digital media presence with high-quality content. This strategy was designed to engage the audience, increasing their time spent on the site and fostering a deeper reading commitment. Norstedts' goal was to make their new site a hub for readers to explore and connect with their stories.

Solution

Cloudflight, eCommerce experts with clients around the world, advised Norstedts to use Pimcore for their website. After a detailed workshop to understand Norstedts' needs, Cloudflight began front-end development and system integrations, including connections to Norstedts' product and author databases. The website, fully integrated with Norstedts' enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, features images, text, and metadata. Designed with a mobile-first approach and compatible with Google AMP, it allows easy access to book information on mobile devices. Additionally, Divante introduced a targeted social media advertising strategy to reach specific audiences.
