JULE Lip Gloss: Scaling Sales, Expanding Reach & Unlocking Recurring Revenue

Overview

JULE Lip Gloss, a premium beauty brand, faced growth limitations on Squarespace, restricting integrations, marketing tools, and overall store performance. Digital Hype Media executed a full-scale eCommerce transformation, moving JULE to Shopify, expanding sales channels, optimizing SEO, and introducing subscription & bundling options.

Within one year, sales skyrocketed by over 200%, the email list grew from under 1,000 to over 10,000 subscribers, and JULE unlocked recurring revenue streams through strategic product bundling and subscription models.

The Problem

• Limited scalability on Squarespace, preventing JULE from optimizing its store for growth.

• No omnichannel presence, restricting sales to a single platform.

• Lack of a structured retention model, with no subscription or bundling options for repeat purchases.

• Minimal SEO foundation, making organic traffic growth difficult.

Testimonial

“Tim from Digital Hype Media is an expert in E-commerce and specifically helped scale my business in paid advertising. We hadn’t run any ads before and now within a few months we are consistently seeing a positive return on our ad spend. The meta business suite and ad manager are not easy to navigate, and Tim is a wizard in this space along with his team. He is always thinking outside the box and a master in custom web design (yes your website sucks! Yes, he will fix it!). DHM is thorough, quick to reply, and smart AF (it doesn’t get better. Seriously!). 10/10 recommend Digital Hype Media!” — Juli Founder, JULE Lip Gloss
