The Challenge

Deconstruct wanted to 

  1. Create a more interactive and educational shopping experience
  2. Increase the conversion rate on their website
  3. Use videos to guide customers through the buying process 
  4. Highlight product functions and features 

Deconstruct Skincare has built a strong community of skincare enthusiast across their social media platforms. On Instagram, the brand has over 103k followers and creates a variety of educational, UCG, and trending content. They also have a YouTube channel where they educate people at the beginning of their skincare journey about active ingredients and how to use them. This has helped Deconstruct position itself as a customer-centric, information-first brand on social media.

Prospective customers discover the brand and its products on social media and then move to the website to make a purchase. Although the website had educational blogs, the lack of quickly consumable videos hampered the overall brand experience. So, they wanted to use their social media videos to create a more cohesive and immersive experience on their website. 

Teaming with Whatmore

Deconstruct needed a solution to add videos to their website. The solution had to be easy to integrate, customizable, and have strong analytics. They partnered with Whatmore since it fit all their requirements. After a quick onboarding, Whatmore went live on their website. 

The Whatmore Solution

With Whatmore live on its website, Deconstruct could add shoppable videos. Shoppable videos are videos that have CTAs like 'Buy Now', 'Add to Cart', and 'Share' embedded in them. This helps viewers purchase or share the products featured in the video from the video itself.

Deconstruct is using various types of shoppable videos on its website. 

  • Educational video carousels on the homepage

The brand uses video carousels on its homepage to create a captivating first impression for visitors. This helps them draw eyeballs to new launches and best sellers. It also makes it easier for first-time visitors to navigate the website and find products that they may have seen on social media. 

This is what the videos look like.
