With a strong focus on high-quality ingredients, Bulk is committed to helping customers achieve their health and fitness goals.

## Company

Fourteen years ago, two university students in England were looking to boost their weightlifting results with protein supplements. Faced with a lack of information on the ingredients in these products, they decided to simply make their own.

Now, Bulk has evolved from their protein supplement roots to encompass a whole host of health and fitness products, from vitamins to sports equipment and more, across 13 countries in Europe and counting.

Since day one, their core mission of transparency and providing customers with only the highest-quality products has been the driving force of their success.

Yotpo’s incorporation of UGC into the buying process on Bulk.com enhances the user experience and is a direct example of a premium technology partner adding to the value and complementing the performance of a Magento Commerce website.

## Challenge

With a shifting focus on different health product categories and an expanding international business model, Bulk was looking to take their eCommerce presence to the next level. Creating products in new categories opened them up to different demographics, and they needed to ensure that their brand reflected their growing vision and appealed to their widening audience.

To achieve this, Bulk was looking to invest in developing a more recognizable brand and building a dedicated following. They needed a solution that would allow them to engage their community, form a competitive differentiator that would set them apart from other products in the space, and establish Bulk as a place for holistic health, not just for muscular men looking to bulk up.

## Solution

Bulk needed to ensure their eCommerce platform could handle the requirements that came with expansion, including multi-site operations and seamless integration with their ERP system. They turned to Magento specialist agency [The Pixel](https://www.thepixel.com/?utm_source=Yotpo&utm_medium=Bulk&utm_campaign=case_study), who migrated the brand from their existing bespoke solution.

To bolster their brand-building initiative and support their expansion efforts, The Pixel recommended a switch to Yotpo’s solutions for Reviews and Visual UGC, a move that enabled Bulk to tap into the power of authentic customer content on social, in emails, and onsite. As a company that sells nutritional products, Bulk is bound by the restrictions of the FDA, which scans their site on an almost daily basis for incorrect or misleading information. To protect their customers, Bulk wanted to leverage the power of social proof to let shoppers do the talking for them.

Magento Commerce Cloud, implemented expertly by The Pixel, gave us the agility and the tools to meet unexpected demand and cater for peak trading periods, providing a fast experience regardless of visitor volume.

Reviews

collected across all domains

## Results

Implementing Yotpo Reviews has helped Bulk collect a staggering **200,000+ reviews across all domains and over 1,000 reviews per month, per domain**. Magento Commerce Cloud and The Pixel gave Bulk the ability to cater to any level of demand on a global scale, with a **32% improvement in page load speed**. These factors combined have helped Bulk achieve **30% YoY growth**, as well as an impressive **150% uplift in average time onsite**.

Rather than make claims about how a product affects health and fitness outcomes, Bulk uses customer reviews to educate shoppers about their products and recommend items based on the goals they are hoping to achieve. To ensure compliance, they also use Yotpo’s moderation capabilities to make sure reviews remain factually accurate.

To help support their growing international presence, Bulk leverages **Yotpo’s syndication feature** to showcase their impressive amount of product reviews across their multiple domains. In January 2019, they created a.eu site to cover multiple European countries; by syndicating their reviews directly to the new site, they were able to launch the domain with a sizable amount of reviews already published, helping establish consumer trust across a large geographic region.

Advice

Yotpo's trusted and proven UGC solution combined with the scalability of Magento Commerce Cloud provides brands with an intuitive, agile user experience that drives sales and success.
