SCOOPING UP A NEW ERA

Penn State Berkey Creamery isn’t just an ice cream shop; it’s a Penn State legend. Since 1865, it has been serving fresh, science-backed dairy products to students, alumni, and visitors. But as demand for their premium ice cream soared beyond campus, tradition alone wasn’t enough.

They needed a high-performance ecommerce platform that could handle nationwide shipping, seasonal rushes, and a seamless shopping experience. With a bespoke Adobe Commerce solution, we transformed their digital storefront, leading to a 70% increase in ecommerce conversion rates.

Flavor-Packed Shopping, Bigger Orders

Shopping for ice cream should be fun, and now it is. Customers can mix and match their favorite flavors to create custom packs, while curated flavor bundles make it easier to discover new favorites. These updates not only improved the shopping experience and increased average order value by 14.7% but also boosted overall sales by 56%.

How to Cone: AN Illustrated Process

To showcase the art of cone-making, we developed a series of custom illustrations that highlight every detail, from the selection of fresh ingredients to the precise temperature and storage required to maintain quality. These visuals guide customers through each step of the process, illustrating the care and craftsmanship behind every scoop.

Designed for the Mobile Generation

Most customers weren’t shopping from a desktop; they were on the move, grabbing ice cream between classes or reminiscing about their college days. The website was built to meet them where they were. With an intuitive design, faster navigation, and a seamless checkout experience, ordering from a phone was just as easy as ordering in-store. Integrated marketing tools boosted engagement, driving traffic through SEO, targeted email campaigns, and promotions that kept alumni and fans coming back for more.
