About
Two friends, Simon Forster & Stu Jolley, set out to put a completely new product on the market: the first ever long-term aftercare product for tattooed skin. They created Stories & Ink, a tattoo-first skin care brand that promotes diversity, inclusion, and offers a product suited for all people.
Challenge
Main Takeaways
Stories & Ink was a retail-only brand, providing little insight into their customers' needs
Wanting to get closer to their customers and truly understand what they wanted, the team made the move to D2C
They needed a tech stack fit for a D2C brand, complete with Reviews and Visual UGC
Solution
Main Takeaways
Stories & Ink chose Yotpo to help build a brand that put their real customers front and center
The brand collects first-party data by asking custom questions about customer needs, including ink coverage, tattoo style, body coverage, & age, providing new, impactful insights
Before & after pictures and video reviews give the brand a sense of their customers, their brand experiences, and their personal stories
Reviews help Stories & Ink gain direct feedback on the customer experience they provide, and these insights are vital to their business decisions and operations
”We are a community-driven brand. We love Yotpo because it gets us so close to our customers.”
Stu Jolley,
Co-founder, Stories & Ink
