The Problem

BevMo! is the largest alcohol retailer in terms of revenue in the U.S. with store presence concentrated on the West Coast. They're also one of our most loyal customers.

BevMo! came to Breinify to improve their e-commerce performance and had the following objectives: 

  • Increase e-commerce sales through personalized product recommendations, promotions and content
  • Maintain high levels of product variety for their consumers while minimizing manual curation and data tagging for product recommendations

Results

In the last year, Breinify helped BevMo! see a rapid return on investment and achieve great results quickly by:

  • Launching a POC in just 7 days
  • Increasing YOY sales by 51% overall
  • Generating $125M in new sales revenue
  • Increasing email conversions resulting in 21.6M products sold
  • Increasing e-commerce sales by 5.3% during the 2020 pandemic
