International fashion retailer bonprix operates in 25 different countries, whilst the brand has physical stores in Germany the rest of the stores are digital ones, bonprix Poland’s thriving eCommerce site being one of them.

Providing highly relevant content at the right stage in the consumer journey can speed up purchasing decisions as well as helping to create a more customer-centric and visually appealing digital shopping experience that will increase the likelihood of forming repeat customers.

User Generated Content proves invaluable in establishing deeper connections with online shoppers. UGC is a useful resource for clothing brands selling online because clothing looks so different on different people, different body types, and can be styled in a multitude of ways. The same can be said for interior design products too, the space products are placed in as well as the furniture and decor they are paired with breathes life into these items for online shoppers in ways that traditional studio images cannot capture.
“Based on UGC brands can build stronger connections with their customers. Any customer can share his/her joy with our products, become a brand ambassador on social media, and show off their personal style. As a brand, we can give them a place in our webshop to show how much we love it. We can share this experience with customers and at the same time inspire other potential clients to join us. This inspirational potential is huge – the same piece worn by 10 different people means 10 different outfits. It’s very valuable extra content that impacts the shopping process.”

It became clearly apparent that UGC would be a vital ingredient to add to their eCommerce shopping experience. However, for a brand of bonprix Poland’s scale, the selection of the ideal UGC platform for their needs held paramount significance.
The brand decided to work with Flowbox to leverage consumer content strategically across various sections of their website. This encompassed the homepage, product pages, a dedicated lookbook page, and category pages, ensuring that the customer journey was enriched with relevant content at every touchpoint.
“We want to present valuable content in the right context to follow customers’ needs at every step of the shopping process. Therefore we use different display rules depending on the page type. For example on category pages, we show UGC pictures of items coming from that particular category and on the product page – only pictures of the relevant product.”

This strategic integration, coupled with the ease of use and flexibility of the Flowbox platform, empowered bonprix to seamlessly incorporate UGC into their digital landscape in a highly-customised way that enhances the customer experience.
“The tool is user-friendly and offers many options. Creating widgets and defining conditions is very easy and most importantly – the tool allows you to add changes and corrections with immediate impact on widgets.”

For bonprix there are two features of the Flowbox platform that stand out as having a game-changing impact on their day-to-day UGC management efforts. One of which is our AI Product Recognition feature.
The AI Product Recognition feature streamlines the process of tagging products in posts by automatically suggesting the products from an eCommerce brand’s primary catalog. This eliminates the need for time-consuming manual searches using product IDs or names, significantly enhancing the efficiency and speed of tagging products in UGC posts, which is especially important for brands like bonprix that boast very extensive catalogs.
“We appreciate that Flowbox offers a good quality image recognition tool, which is often useful in our work. Also, the possibility of steering different language versions within one widget is important from an international company’s perspective.”
