Outdoor Fashion x Shopify: A Case Study of Branding an Independent Website

Aoxunus and Pannpann are two brands that have not only increased their brand visibility, but also optimized the user experience by cleverly leveraging the functionality of the Shopify platform to achieve efficient brand communication and market expansion.
Their success stems not only from precise market positioning and technological innovation, but also from how they leverage the Shopify platform for global branding and user interaction.
Aoxunus: Defining a New Paradigm for Outdoor Living with Natural Aesthetics
Aoxunus specializes in high-end outdoor furniture design, with "natural symbiosis, extreme durability" as the core value.
