Story Spine - Gifting Experience


Once upon a time, there lived a guy named Rahul who always struggled to buy gifts for his loved ones.

Every time an occasion came, when he needed to buy a gift for his Mom, sister, or wife, he would search for all the gifts which he wanted to give. He would end up in analysis paralysis. Instead of gifting something different, he would end up gifting safe options like a watch, phone, etc.

But one day, he came across an Instagram post from CaratLane, which was liked by one of his close friends. The post stood out from the other posts which he usually came across on Instagram. He was intrigued by the storytelling and the visuals used in the post.

Because of that, he downloaded CaratLane App and started browsing. His wife, Shalini’s birthday was coming up next month, so he thought he would check it out. He came across lots of unique designs which he had never seen before.

Because of that, he decided to call the toll-free no, he found on the App to get more information on the designs and policy. CaratLane’s Sales consultant, Suganya guided him in choosing the right design based on his wife’s preferences and his budget. She allayed his anxiousness by explaining the free return and exchange policy offered by CaratLane.

Because of the excellent designs and customer service, Rahul decided to surprise his wife and bought a beautiful Butterfly Earrings. He was a little worried whether the delivery will be made on time as promised, as he had a bad experience in the past when he bought clothes from a brand for the first time and they delayed their delivery. But, to his pleasant surprise, it was delivered 1 day before the promised date. His wife loved it and was pleasantly surprised that her husband made such a beautiful choice.

Because of this wonderful experience, Rahul started to browse the CaratLane app regularly. He loved all the product recommendations customized based on his previous browsing history. Initially, he was worried that he will be bombarded with email/SMS/push irrelevant to him. But he was stoked to receive personalized recommendation curated by CaratLane and sent to him once a week by CaratLane’s marketing team and always looked forward to that every Saturday.

Until finally, Rahul decided to buy jewellery for his Mom and sister also from CaratLane and started recommending CaratLane to his friends and office colleagues. Everyone who tried CaratLane loved the experience and complimented Rahul for the recommendation.

Ever since then, CaratLane became the one-stop destination for all his gifting needs.

The moral of the story is that every touchpoint in a user journey, starting from Brand storytelling( Insta Post) to product discovery ( website) to customer service (helping customers to finalize a design) to Supply chain (On-time delivery) need to work in a cohesive way to provide an 11-star experience.
