In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Alex Tanya and Aaron Weller from online rug retailer, Miss Amara. A million miles away from the shouty men who traditionally seemed to be the only option in rug sales, Miss Amara use beautiful content, styling services and amazing customer service to modernise the business. Today they are on track to surpass $20m in revenue and are shipping to Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and soon, the US. In this chat, Alex and Aaron share the process of how they engage with customers to the point where those customers become content creators and ambassadors for the brand at a really low cost. We also cover how augmented reality boosted their conversion rate by up to seven times, why Alex handwrote 400 notes to customers during COVID and how they manage being co-founders and a married couple.
