Case Study
How Sahana Went From a $100K Store to $500K in 12 Months
Sahana makes handmade clothing, produced by artisans and built around a social and environmental mission. Every piece is made by hand, and every sale supports the people who make it. After partnering with Kozler to rebuild the store around her customers, Sahana 5x'd her revenue in twelve months.

Storewide Revenue Lift
Here's the process we ran on Sahana's store.
Step 1: Find the leaks
We ran workshops to understand Sahana's customers, what they want, and what stops them buying. Then we went through the store looking for every place it failed to answer that. What came out was a ranked list of what was costing her money.
Step 2: Build better experiences
We turned those findings into new versions of the most important pages and offers, rewriting copy and redesigning layouts so shoppers could understand the brand faster and buy with more confidence on each visit.
Step 3: Roll out and track the results
We took the new store live, then watched how customers actually used it. Heat maps, session recordings and customer feedback showed us what to adjust and refine.
Core Changes
Homepage
Problem
The homepage assumed every visitor already knew who Sahana was. A single image at the top, a link through to the summer collection without images, three blog posts, and a shipping strip at the bottom. That was the whole page.
Nothing on it told a first-time visitor what Sahana makes, who makes it, or why it's worth more than anything else they could buy that afternoon. Anyone who wasn't already sold had no reason to keep scrolling, so they didn't..
What we changed
- Rebuilt the page around a proper narrative structure — opening with the customer and what they care about, rather than dropping them straight into a collection grid.
- Copy wrote a hero that states plainly what Sahana sells and who it's for, so someone landing cold from an ad knows within seconds whether they're in the right place.
- Brought products up the page, directly under the hero, so the page still does its job for the visitors who are ready to buy.
- Added a "handcrafted by master artisans" section explaining who makes the clothing and how, the single strongest thing about the brand, previously buried.
- Built in social proof and reviews at the point in the scroll where a new visitor starts weighing it up.
- Added the blog as a considered section rather than three blog tiles competing with the products.
- Aligned the styling across the page with Sahana's actual brand direction, replacing the generic template feel.

Cart Drawer Upgrade
Problem
Adding something to the cart ended the shopping session. The old setup pushed every customer to a separate cart page the instant they clicked add to cart, so the next logical step in front of them was checkout or leave. If they wanted a second item they had to navigate back and find their place again, and most people don't.
What we changed
- Replaced the redirect with a slide-out cart drawer, so customers stay exactly where they were browsing and adding a second item costs them nothing.
- Added a free shipping progress bar showing customers how close they are to the threshold, turning an incentive she was already paying for into one people could actually see.
- Built personalised cross-sells into the drawer, recommending products based on what that specific customer had already bought, viewed and had in their cart, plus the ad they arrived from and where they were shopping from, rather than generic "you may also like" filler.
- Restyled the whole cart experience to match the rest of the store, which the previous version never did.

Product Page Optimisation
Problem
The product pages showed the clothes and nothing else. Great photography, a size selector, a buy button. That works fine for someone who already knows and trusts the brand,and not at all for the person who just clicked an ad thirty seconds ago.
Nothing on the page said the pieces were handmade. Nothing said who made them or what buying them supported. And the biggest reason people don't buy clothing online, will it fit, and what happens if it doesn't, went completely unanswered.
What we changed
- Added the making story directly to the product page: handmade, by artisans, and what that means for the piece in front of them.
- Brought the sustainability and social impact story onto the page, so the mission is doing work at the moment of decision rather than sitting on an About page nobody visits.
- Rewrote the product content to sell the piece rather than describe it , what's special about it, not just what it's made of.
- Added a refund and returns guarantee directly onto the product page, addressing the sizing objection at the exact point it stops the sale.
- Restructured the page so the trust and story sections sit where visitors actually hesitate, rather than at the bottom where they'd never be read.

Zac and the team at Kozler have been absolute lifesavers! Together with my team they create and bring to life some unique marketing campaigns, strategies and website improvements. Their out-of-the-box ideas and solutions have been game-changers, and they've been total lifesavers for projects I just couldn't tackle myself. Plus, they're so lovely, friendly and approachable - I can't sing their praises enough!

Working with Zac and the team at Kozler has been one of the most valuable decisions I’ve made for my business.
I came in thinking I knew what I wanted, but Zac helped me realise I needed clarity — not just a website. He guided me through the process of understanding what I was actually selling, who I was selling it to, and how best to communicate that. That clarity changed everything — not just for the website, but across my entire e-commerce business.
