Whiskynet faced a modern ecommerce bottleneck: rising ad costs were driving traffic to product pages, but visitors weren't converting.
With a catalog of over 1,000 premium items, manual personalization was impossible.
In this case study, you'll learn how they implemented an automated AI framework that replaced generic offers with intent-based, personalized popups, leading to a 55% increase in subscriptions and a 6.6% rise in purchases.
The challenge
Recent years have fundamentally transformed the ecommerce landscape:
- Advertising costs are continuously rising.
- AI-driven campaigns are directing more visitors directly to product pages.
- Meanwhile, customer expectations have significantly increased.
Visitors no longer respond to general discounts or generic messages.
Whiskynet clearly felt this shift in the premium beverage market, where a wide selection and higher price range mean customers tend to make thoughtful decisions.
Visitors often browse, compare, seek inspiration, and then leave without making a purchase.
The solution
Let’s take a look at the solutions Whiskynet implemented at key points in the purchasing process!
1. Context-based product page popups
Rather than a global "Join our Newsletter" popup, Whiskynet used AI to create personalized offers based on the product being viewed at the moment.
Using AI, the popup automatically adapts to the current product page the user is viewing and instantly generates a matching creative and displays a specific offer: a 10% discount on that product.
So, if a user looks at a specific Gin, the popup shows that Gin with a relevant 10% offer.
The offer feels like a continuation of the user's interest rather than an interruption.
Plus, it automates the creation of hundreds of unique assets that would be impossible to design manually.
As a result, the number of subscribers increased by 55%, while purchases rose by 6.6% thanks to this popup.
2. Category-specific subscription
To capture users earlier in the "discovery" phase, Whiskynet also optimized the experience on category pages.
They implement AI-powered welcome popups that dynamically adapt to the category type. The messaging and visuals change based on whether the user is browsing Rum, Whiskey, or Schnapps.
This is how the popup appeared on two different category pages:
This strategy establishes relevance immediately. The user feels the brand understands their specific taste from the first click.
And the number of subscribers increased by 19.1% thanks to these popups. This result shows that offers tailored to browsing intent can effectively boost engagement during the discovery phase.
The result
As a result of these improvements, Whiskynet achieved significant business growth from the same traffic.
Thanks to AI-powered, intent-based list building, the number of subscribers increased by 55%, while purchases rose by 6.6%. Category-specific popups further boosted subscriber numbers by 19.1%.
The growth was driven not by discounts, but by the experience tailored to purchase intent.
