About

One of Founder Melissa Hinnant’s greatest passions is sewing. Starting with one pair of lacey boot socks in the fall of 2011, Melissa’s passion and skill created a consumer demand that rapidly surpassed what she could handle alone. Her entrepreneurial endeavors ultimately led to what is now Grace and Lace — a full-scale women’s apparel company with hundreds of offered products and a loyal customer community.

Challenges

Grace and Lace’s customers were already active and engaged, but the brand wanted a way to capture their enthusiasm and display it onsite to generate content, zero-party data, and credibility.
Knowing the importance of rich reviews for consumers to get confidence that the product will fit their body type and lifestyle, the Grace and Lace team wanted to integrate rewards and reviews to thank their customers for sharing deeply personal details and being part of the brand story.
Understanding the value of zero-party data, the team at Grace and Lace needed a platform that would help them get actionable customer data for product development and marketing personalization.
Grace & Lace’s agency partner recommended Okendo to facilitate an integrated tech stack with a seamless and self-running review and reward system.

“Consumers in the clothing industry once wanted to buy into an ideal; today, they are more interested in authenticity. We have found that a community of consumers supporting and promoting our products is one of the most powerful marketing tools we have.”
