British jewellery retailer Astley Clarke has seen its international revenue soar by 367% and account for up to 40% of sales each week after partnering with Global-e to boost its international e-commerce offering.

The British brand creating fine and contemporary jewellery appointed Global-e in October 2015 to develop a more engaging customer shopping experience for overseas shoppers and drive global growth.

In particular, Global-e helped Astley Clark develop an e-commerce proposition offering international customers the ability to pay with their local currency, use different payment methods and the option to pre-pay all import taxes and duties. Additionally, overseas customers benefit from free delivery for all orders and convenient domestic returns.

As a result, Astley Clarke has increased its international revenue significantly and has seen an increase in conversion rate from non-UK visitors by more than 160%. The increase is also likely to have been driven by the pound’s weakness following the EU referendum, which made British products cheaper for international shoppers.

Astley Clarke chief executive officer, Scott Thomson, comments: “After a smooth and guided implementation process this is just the beginning of a strategic partnership between Astley Clarke and Global-e which will see us moving ahead with our international goals as we transform shopping in local markets through investment in more efficient and engaging ecommerce experiences.”

Astley Clarke has now an active presence in over 60 countries worldwide.
