Redmills

The Brief

Connolly’s Red Mills is a world leader in animal feed. Indeed, over half of the Grade 1 champions at Cheltenham last year were propelled past the post with the Kilkenny company’s winning formulas.

Since 1908, the Connolly family in Kilkenny have been perfecting their nutritional products, and they understandably make headlines by feeding the best racehorses in the world, with 97 Grade 1 winners last year across 12 countries. However, Red Mills also provides premium agri-feed and pet food, and they called on us to further unleash their potential with a separate Red Mills Pet website.

Connolly’s goal was to migrate their pet food services from redmills.ie to a totally new website, to be launched in 13 countries. We built an entirely new eCommerce site that showcases their products with vibrant photos a detailed breakdown of their nutritional values, and a streamlined user flow from browsing to checkout.

Red Mills Pet is confident that pet lovers will be repeat customers, so we developed a subscription model for regular deliveries and automated payments, while we also fully integrated Feefo review software for full customer feedback. We added functionality to find stockists, and guaranteed user engagement by including a blog with advice articles from Connolly’s experts. As a final doggy treat for users, we added a full Instagram connection for Red Mills to promote their products and for customers to share photos of their well-fed furry friends.
