Dressing minis, and their moms, to match

Bailey's Blossoms makes clothing and accessories for newborns, toddlers and girls, with a signature line of Mommy & Me matching styles. Rompers, smocked jumpsuits, floral dresses, piggie clips and headbands, released in small, seasonal drops.

The brand sells direct through its Shopify store across the US and wholesales to boutiques. Its customer is a mom, shopping on her phone, who wants to catch a new drop before her child's size sells out.

Drop-led catalogue
New arrivals, pre-orders and holiday capsules land every few weeks.
Size-sensitive buying
From newborn sizes up to women's, so availability decides the sale.
The challenge

Loyal moms, rented attention

Bailey's Blossoms already had a devoted following. But on mobile web, every return visit depended on an email being opened or an ad being served. In a category driven by limited drops and seasonal moments, that delay costs sales.

01
Drops sell out before the reminder lands
Popular sizes go fast, and email or social cannot guarantee a shopper sees a launch in time.
02
Paying to re-reach the same customers
Repeat buyers still had to be won back through paid channels on every visit.
03
Browsing by age, size and occasion
Newborn, girls, Mommy & Me and holiday shoppers needed fast routes into a wide catalogue.
04
Wishlists that never turned into orders
Moms save pieces for later, then lose track of them between sessions.

Wishlist, cart & checkout

The save-it-for-later habit is built into every screen, and the cart keeps size, quantity and coupons in one place before a native checkout.

Wishlist to cart
Saved pieces sit one tap from the cart, so a wishlist becomes an order.
Native cart
Sizes, quantities, coupon entry and the order total, all before checkout.
Pre-orders
Upcoming drops are sold ahead of stock, so moms lock in sizes early.

The brand sits one tap away, so returning moms skip the search and the ad.
Bigger baskets
Grid add to cart and matching sets make outfit-plus-accessory orders the default, lifting AOV 24%.
Saved intent
Wishlists and pre-orders hold demand between drops instead of losing it.
Push for launches
New arrivals and holiday capsules reach users directly, without paid reach.
