Why it works

The COVID trigger gives the story a clear before-state and an undeniable reason to act, which most ecommerce case studies lack. The piece earns New Capability as the primary tag because the shop had no online channel at all before and built one from scratch in four to six weeks. The 40% revenue increase and 12% transaction lift then layer in a Breakthrough element, making the coin-flip between the two types worth noting.

Steal this

Use the forced-urgency trigger (a crisis that compressed a year-long plan into weeks) to make the speed-to-launch claim credible rather than a vendor boast.
