The Intro

CoffeeAM is a direct-to-consumer coffee and tea brand operating out of Denver, Colorado, since 1993. Its range runs from single-origin coffees by region to teas, pods and gift sets, with subscriptions alongside one-off orders.

BLKDG redesigned and rebuilt CoffeeAM’s Shopify store, and launched Klaviyo flows, SEO and consent management alongside it. The new store went live in September 2026.

The Challenge

Replacing an Aging Shopify 1.0 Store

CoffeeAM’s previous store ran on an aging Shopify 1.0 theme, built on the platform’s original theme architecture from before Online Store 2.0. The new store needed seasonal merchandising and campaign blocks the team could run without a developer.

Its Klaviyo account needed a tune-up too, with flows missing and segments that needed organizing.

The Approach

A Shopify 2.0 Store Built for Seasonal Selling

We started with a brand and site audit, then designed and built the new store on Shopify’s Online Store 2.0 architecture. Navigation, collections, filtering and product pages were redesigned, with complementary-product upsells on product pages and seasonal campaign blocks on the home page. Every template is built from sections, so CoffeeAM’s team can change pages without a developer.

We mapped redirects from the old URL structure to protect search rankings, added product, organization, breadcrumb and FAQ schema, and built a topic-page architecture structured for AI search as well as Google. Before launch, we tested the store against WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards.

In Klaviyo, we audited the account, rebuilt its segments for retail and wholesale customers, and built browse abandonment, cart abandonment, win-back and loyalty flows. Consentmo gates every tracking tag on the shopper’s consent.

The Results

What Changed After Launch

These figures compare the first weeks after launch with the same stretch before it, from CoffeeAM’s Shopify analytics. The launch ran alongside a promotion, so discounting was heavier than usual. Net sales subtract those discounts.

Across all sales channels, net sales rose 35% and gross sales rose 40%. On the online store itself, net sales rose 7%, orders 3% and average order value 3%. Returning customers on the online store rose 8%.
