FLOYD
FROM THE HALFPIPE TO THE BAGGAGE CAROUSEL
UX

Venice Beach, 70s. Sun, waves, surfing and the birth of the skateboard - the Los Angeles neighbourhood stands for it all. A unique subculture emerged during this time, driven by the laid-back vibe of the youth and their dreams.

 

FLOYD brings a touch of laid-back style back to modern travelers, incorporating the unmistakable soft wheels of skateboards into their luggage and bringing a slice of California lifestyle from the halfpipe to the baggage carousel..

TASK

TAILORED ONLINE SHOP CONCEPT FOR FLOYD

The idea for FLOYD Travel Cases on Wheels was born in 2018 and the innovative lifestyle product was market-ready in early 2019. How can we authentically capture the spirit of Venice Beach skateboarding culture, so closely associated with FLOYD, in digital communication? With a tailored online shop concept that feels less like a classic shop and more like an emotional presentation of the story behind FLOYD as brand and its products.

SOLUTION

COOL. SMOOTH. COLORFUL.

In close collaboration with photographer Stefan Bogner, who visually staged the brand and suitcase, we were able to realise a unique eCommerce storytelling concept. A consistent brand and product story, combined with a clean design and simple, smooth user guidance. With Shopify, we found the perfect eCommerce platform to fulfil this requirement without a large budget and secure a niche for FLOYD as a start-up in a hotly contested competitive environment.

RESULT

KEEP ROLLING!

FLOYD floydifies, conveys a lifestyle - we experienced this ourselves during our time together on the project.

 

From the outset, netzeffekt was involved as a consultant between product development, branding and marketing/sales in order to make this feeling digitally tangible. In close coordination with logistics partners in the areas of payment, shipping/returns and merchandise management, we were also able to implement a smooth checkout process.

 

The good feeling at FLOYD is not just an advertising promise, it is 100% real!
