The LG division CEO presented us with a unique challenge...

The newly appointed CEO helped us appreciate that LG is so much more than televisions, computer monitors and appliances. They are also one of the largest developers of skincare, haircare and oral care products in Korea. Already a formidable force in other retail channels, we were tasked to help them build a newly branding site to sell direct to consumers through their own channel. With some existing enterprise systems in place, we set to work to develop a ground up system that could scale to support their enterprise ambitions.

LG demanded enhanced customization and flexibility

Using React for the front end enables the creation of dynamic, app-like shopping experiences that can be tailored to the unique needs and preferences of LG Beauty's audience.

.02
LG demanded blistering performance

We knew that headless websites often load faster than traditional ones because the front end is optimized for performance, leading to better user experiences and potentially higher conversion rates.

.03
Omnichannel from the start

With headless Shopify, LG Beauty can easily integrate and synchronize its e-commerce platform with various touchpoints (social media, mobile apps, devices, etc.), providing a cohesive brand experience across all channels.

.04
Personalized Experiences

The flexibility of headless commerce, combined with the power of Shopify's back-end capabilities, allows for highly personalized content, offers, and shopping experiences based on user behavior, preferences, and data analytics.

.05
Scalability

The headless approach allows LG Beauty to scale its operations more efficiently. As the business grows, it can add new features, channels, and customer touchpoints without overhauling the entire system.
