June 24, 2021 – When Covid-19 struck in early 2020 – and other companies were struggling with closed-down retail stores – Scooch faced adversity. And with a stroke of bad fortune turned good, the Scooch Brand was introduced to customers globally.
After 5 years of selling exclusively in 6,000 brick and mortar locations, Scooch has fully transformed into an eCommerce company. Here’s how it happened:
In late 2019, an industry merger forced Scooch to rethink the best way to reach customers. When Sprint and T-Mobile merged, Scooch was not in T-Mobile stores, but was in over 3,000 Sprint stores. The problem? T-Mobile took over those Sprint stores and chose to go with their own product lineup and not with Sprint’s lineup. Scooch was out. At first this felt like a deathblow to the Indiana-based phone accessories company.
But it was a blessing in disguise and many lessons were learned as the retail world shifted in real-time. This merger forced an immediate shift in strategy to an online-only model. For Scooch’s cult following, this meant greater access to all products from one touchpoint – www.scoochcase.com. The picture became clear: adapt or perish. Sales climbed and the Scooch brand not only survived but began thriving.
So Scooch went all-in with an online-only model. Gone were the days of selling in stores: Scooch became a 100% eCommerce brand within weeks. So when Covid-19 struck months later, Scooch was positioned for eCommerce success. And now Scooch’s products, with all their patents and products, can be delivered anywhere in the world within days.
