Haruyama's App Renewal Leads to 115% Increase in Sales Through Digital Shift

In the rapidly evolving retail landscape, companies must adapt to new consumer behaviors and preferences. One significant success story is that of Haruyama Holdings, a notable player in men's clothing, which has recently revitalized its official app, showing remarkable results.

The app renewal, powered by DearOne's innovative application development service "ModuleApps2.0," has led to a 115% increase in sales through the app compared to the previous year. This transformation has not only provided a substantial boost in revenue but also marked a significant shift in Haruyama's promotional strategies. The company has successfully reduced its dependency on traditional paper direct mail (DM), achieving a reduction of up to 90%, thus embracing a more digital-centric approach.

Background and Innovative Changes



As a provider of formal attire, Haruyama faced a unique challenge: lower customer visit frequencies due to the nature of their products. Prior to the renewal, the company grappled with several issues, including a high proportion of dormant users who downloaded the app but rarely used it. Many customers lacked strong incentives to open the app. To overcome these hurdles, Haruyama aimed to create an engaging app experience that would entice users to return regularly.

The renewed app introduced several new features aimed at increasing user engagement. For example, the incorporation of a login stamp encourages users to access the app more frequently, which directly contributes to acquiring new members as well. The overall impact of the renewal is compelling:
  • - App sales have shown sustained growth, achieving a 115% increase year-on-year, and approximately tripling sales from five years prior.
  • - The introduction of the login stamp feature has successfully created more opportunities for users to engage with the app.
  • - Significant reduction in physical DM usage, with the new strategy allowing Haruyama to minimize traditional paper outreach to as little as one-tenth of previous levels.
  • - Operational efficiency improvements have also been noted; utilizing cohort functionality has cut the workload for segmented distributions by nearly half.

As Haruyama continues to innovate, DearOne remains committed to supporting the app's growth through ongoing updates and enhancements.
