Background

Harney & Sons was founded back in 1983, rising from a modest start-up operating out of a garage to a renowned tea brand enjoyed worldwide. This family-run business, once a direct mail-order service, gradually built a robust wholesale network, partnering with illustrious names like William Sonoma and The Plaza hotel. Fast-forward to today, Harney & Sons owns sprawling production facilities across the United States, offering an array of over 300 tea varieties.

The Challenge

Capturing the sensory allure of aromatic teas and translating it into the digital sphere can be a challenge. Harney & Sons sought to augment their communication with customers through three key strategies:


Product Education: The company aimed to find an effective method to convey the unique quality, flavor profiles, and overall allure of their tea offerings to online customers.


Dynamic Content: The goal was to transform their product pages from a static landscape of single videos and text-based reviews to a more immersive and captivating format.


Mobile Shopping Optimization: Harney & Sons aspired to optimize their mobile shopping experience with vertical videos that would effectively translate the sensory appeal of their teas to customers.

The Solution

A dynamic mobile shopping experience for brands 


Showday's unique product offered a solution that matched Harney & Sons' requirements perfectly. Showday's innovative Instagram story-style shoppable videos allowed Harney & Sons to enrich their product pages with dynamic content, resulting in a more interactive, mobile-friendly experience.


Harney & Sons collaborated with the Showday team to introduce story-style shoppable videos for their best-selling products. The product detail pages now exhibit videos on brewing techniques, customer reviews, and a product showcase. The interactive display allows customers to engage with the product conveniently on their mobile devices.

"We are working to create more videos because it has been successful… Especially since we're really trying to emphasize mobile shoppers, which make up over 61% of traffic."
