Splash of Pink Celebrates 20 Years of E-Commerce Leadership

As the family-owned Lilly Pulitzer Signature Store, Splash of Pink, celebrates two decades in the e-commerce landscape, it stands as a testament to the successful marriage of exceptional design and personal service. Founded in 2003 by Amy and Marc Cesaratto in Westport, Connecticut, the store has become synonymous with attentive customer service and vibrant fashion, living up to its motto: "Design that delights, service that inspires."

A Milestone Worth Celebrating

In 2006, Splash of Pink launched its online platform, SplashofPink.com, illustrating its commitment to extending the intimate, welcoming feel of in-store shopping to an online audience. This dual-pronged approach aimed to provide customers with an experience as warm and inspiring as shopping in person, ensuring that even those unable to visit the Connecticut boutique could still enjoy the brand’s offerings.

Now, as it marks 20 years, Splash of Pink is not merely reflecting on the past but actively shaping the future of retail. The introduction of the Shopify Point of Sale (POS) system is a crucial step towards integrating online and in-store operations. This strategic move aligns inventory, customer data, and promotions across all platforms, creating a seamless shopping experience where customers can transition effortlessly between buying online and in-person.

Elevating the Customer Experience

According to Amy Cesaratto, Co-Founder of Splash of Pink, the initiative to unify their digital and retail operations is designed to remove friction from the shopping experience while still enhancing the personalized touch customers expect. "We want our customers to feel that their needs are intuitively addressed, whether they’re shopping online or in our store,” she states.

The blend of technology and service is reflected in the shopping experience, which allows customers to engage with the brand on their terms. The strategic move to integrate Shopify POS has streamlined operations, ensuring that whether a customer visits the store or shops online, they receive the same level of care and attention.

Marc Cesaratto, also a co-founder, emphasized the role P3 Media, their long-term development partner, has played in introducing these innovations. As a Shopify Platinum partner, P3 Media has helped Splash of Pink translate its core values into a comprehensive omnichannel experience, significantly enhancing how customers interact with the brand.

P3 Media: A Key Partner in Transformation

With over 250 successful Shopify implementations, P3 Media specializes in transforming ecommerce operations for growing brands. This partnership has been critical in ensuring that Splash of Pink remains at the forefront of e-commerce innovation. Their combined expertise enables the store to continue providing exceptional service while expanding their reach.

As Splash of Pink steps into its third decade, the emphasis remains on community, color, and cultivating strong connections with customers.

"Our ongoing goal is to create an exceptional shopping experience that resonates with our customers," adds Marc. The store embodies the belief that a vibrant community underpins retail success, a philosophy they've carried proudly for 20 years.

Looking to the Future

In conclusion, Splash of Pink’s 20th anniversary isn't just a celebration of the past; it’s a commitment to a customer-centric future where personalization and technology converge to create a shopping experience like no other. As they continue to innovate and embrace new technology, their mission stays true — to provide not just a transaction, but a joyful and inspiring shopping experience. Here’s to another decade of vibrant colors, community, and exceptional service!
