Case Study

Central Garden & Pet Outshines the Competition on the Digital Shelf with Optimized Visual Content

Learn how Central Garden & Pet used Vizit to optimize images and drive a 30% increase in conversion rates.

The Challenge

Comfort Zone, a Central Garden & Pet brand, relies heavily on its ecommerce sales, with product listings on Amazon, Chewy, and Petco. With an ever-growing list of pet suppliers entering the market, the brand was faced with sharing its digital presence alongside competing pet supply companies. It needed to optimize the visual assets across its product detail pages and identify the image details that would help set its products apart from the pack, driving more online conversions.

The Solution

Vizit offers Ghirardelli an AI-powered solution to measure visual effectiveness, enabling their ecommerce and creative teams to identify and optimize underperforming product images. After integrating Vizit’s Conversion Optimizer into Salsify, Ghirardelli’s product experience management platform, the team could automatically reorder product images based on Vizit’s proprietary effectiveness score before distributing content to retailer sites, maximizing their PDPs’ conversion potential.
Comfort Zone used Vizit’s Visual Content Performance software to determine the images and visual elements that would be most effective with the brand’s target audience in real time. This technology unveiled visual trends and insights within product content, enabling Comfort Zone to identify and create more effective content than their competitors on the digital shelf.

The Result

Ghirardelli’s recent optimization efforts with Vizit’s platform and new Conversion Optimizer App within Salsify resulted in significant improvements in both Amazon conversion rates and team efficiency. The most impactful change has been their team’s ability to quickly evaluate PDP image performance and receive real-time feedback on optimization changes by simulating their customers’ visual preferences using Vizit.
