NihaoJewelry is an online wholesale fashion jewelry company based in Hangzhou, China. Established in 2013, the company has become a global player in the wholesale jewelry market, with large warehouses in China and Mexico.
Renowned for its strong supply chain and logistics capabilities, NihaoJewelry facilitates the delivery of millions of high-quality Chinese goods to clients across more than 200 countries and regions worldwide.
Catering to local dealers, boutique owners, online retailers, and individual entrepreneurs, NihaoJewelry offers low wholesale prices on a vast array of products. Sourcing from its own factories and 1,000+ other factories in China, the company maintains an inventory of over 200,000 trendy products, with daily updates on the latest styles. This allows its clients to find all their favorite products through one convenient online storefront.
NihaoJewelry prides itself on its customer-centric approach, offering 7-10 day delivery with no minimum order quantity, multiple safe payment methods, and various shipping solutions. Still, the company aimed to improve the customer experience even further, identify opportunities for upselling, and leverage chat tools to assist with customer requests.
Challenge: Breaking Down Digital Borders to Reach Customers
As NihaoJewelry set out to reach its customers more effectively, it encountered a series of obstacles. Jane Xu, the Business Operation Manager at NihaoJewelry, outlined three main concerns that led them to seek a new solution:
High costs associated with managing multiple vendors for different messaging channels (WhatsApp Business API, SMS, and email)
Low customer engagement rates
Inefficient syncing of meaningful data from customer conversations
"Prior to onboarding Bird, we struggled with customer engagement," Xu explained. "Most of our global customers don't use email, and our sales team had difficulty reaching them from Chinese phone numbers."
In an attempt to improve customer communication and increase personalized engagement, NihaoJewelry registered 20 separate WhatsApp business accounts and allocated them to individual sales representatives. However, managing 20 individual WhatsApp business accounts proved unwieldy.
"We were keen to use more chat apps and social media to contact our customers," Jane continued, "But we were exhausted from managing all the channels from different vendors."
The company first explored solutions from local Chinese vendors offering omnichannel marketing platforms. However, these options either lacked the range of channels NihaoJewelry needed or didn't provide the necessary automation features.
Solution: From 20 WhatsApp Accounts to One Unified Platform
After careful consideration, NihaoJewelry chose Bird CRM to address communication challenges.
Jane cited several key reasons for NihaoJewelry’s decision:
User-friendly interface: “We don’t need to rely on engineers to write code for every single campaign,” said Xu, pointing to how easy it is for NihaoJewelry team members to create message templates with Bird.
Unified, omnichannel platform: Instead of paying for Live Chat, email, and WhatsApp from different vendors, NihaoJewelry manages all of its channels with Bird.
Automation capabilities: “We can leverage Flow to send notifications to our customers and allocate the inbound requests automatically to specific sales associates responsible for the customer,” said Xu.
WhatsApp Business API integration: Instead of managing 20-plus WhatsApp Business accounts in parallel, NihaoJewelry can use the WhatsApp Business API through Bird.
The implementation process, while complex due to the need to sync data from NihaoJewelry's homegrown CRM/CDP, was relatively smooth, thanks to the Bird team’s problem-solving skills.
Use Case 1: Customer ticket allocation
NihaoJewelry now allocates customer inbound tickets to its sales team (inbox agents) by syncing customer identifiers via API. This API integration automatically matches incoming customer data (such as email addresses, phone numbers, or unique customer IDs) with NihaoJewelry's existing customer records, then routes inquiries to the most appropriate sales representative based on factors like purchase history, language preference, or product specialization.
Sales representatives then use Bird to communicate with customers individually, and Bird sends key conversation data back to NihaoJewelry’s home-grown CDP. This integration syncs all customer interactions to a comprehensive customer profile, enabling more personalized service in future interactions.
Use Case 2: Multi-channel communication
The company receives customer requests via its preferred channels, including Bird's Chat Widget, WhatsApp Business API, Email, and Facebook Messenger.
All incoming messages, regardless of the originating platform, are consolidated in Bird's unified Inbox. This allows NihaoJewelry's team to manage all customer interactions from a single interface, ensuring consistent service quality and faster response times.
The system also provides context for each conversation, including the customer's history and preferences, enabling more personalized and effective communication.
Use Case 3: Automated customer journeys
NihaoJewelry leverages Bird's automation capabilities to build complete customer journeys and send tailored outbound messages. This includes setting up automated messages based on customer actions or specific timeframes, such as abandoned cart reminders, order status updates, or personalized product recommendations.
The automation also extends to post-purchase follow-ups, gathering feedback, and nurturing customer relationships through timely, relevant communications. By leveraging customer data and behavior patterns, NihaoJewelry can create highly targeted campaigns that resonate with its diverse global customer base.
Results: Automated Support Improves Response Times by 50% and NPS by 33%
The implementation of Bird CRM has led to significant improvements in NihaoJewelry's customer engagement and operational efficiency. The company has reported impressive results:
"Thanks to Bird's professional service, we were able to implement our solution rapidly. By doing this, we improved customer response time by 50% and NPS by 33%."
But the impact of Bird's solution extends beyond just metrics:
Improved business efficiency: Thanks to the time saved from Bird’s Flows, the NihaoJewelry team has improved overall operational efficiency.
Streamlined customer experience: Customers enjoy a more seamless chat experience, as the NihaoJewelry team is able to meet them where they are, regardless of which channel they use to contact the company.
Empowered sales team: With Bird handling the communication logistics, the sales team can focus more on business skills and product knowledge instead of handling WhatsApp accounts and matching customer data to the right profiles.
Looking to the future, NihaoJewelry plans to expand its use of Bird's platform. "We will try to install more channels if Bird is ready," Xu shared, describing Bird’s service to date as responsive and professional.
