You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. Today’s buyer needs are diverse, making brands offer custom products that could positively transform their brand and differentiate. Customers shopping at Phoenix Bats choose the wood for manufacturing the bat from Maple, Yellow Birch, and Northern White Ash. Going further, customers are also presented with options to decide how they want the barrel finish and handle finish – whether Gloss Sheen or Matte Sheen. And they also have a multitude of colors to choose from to beautify the bat and play in style.

Choose Bat’s Texture
Every Detail Counts
Customers are not just buyer. They transform as designers giving life to the bat of their dreams. And when customers do so, Productimize wanted to make sure shoppers are given as many options to make the final product “completely” satisfying and visually appealing. Sometimes, it is the littlest of the details that stand out and take customer satisfaction to the next level. Shoppers can add text, clipart, or logos for their team or their favorites. The whole design process is lighting-fast blended with beautiful imagery and comprehensive UI to make shopping enjoyable.
Challenge
Sport is as much style as anything else. With the ever-increasing love towards baseball across all ages, Phoenix Bats saw an opportunity to let baseball players (and lovers) create their own bats, the way they love it.
However, The Phoenix Bat Company had specific issues with their earlier customization and wanted a new page with top-class and modern features integrated.
Solution
The team at Phoenix Bats got in touch with the Productimize team to create and redesign a brand new product customization page, so everyone stays happy – buyers, sellers, and baseball lovers.
As always, we took it up as a challenge because we saw a dream and a nobler vision with The Phoenix Bats, and it was upon us to make it a reality. Below are glances of what Productimize offered to The Phoenix Bats.
Key Features
Visually Appealing UI
Website visitors are quick to form conclusions, and we also wanted the same to happen, in a good way - shoppers saying ‘wow’ while looking at the rich, layered customization page with adaptive text and color.
Real-time Display
It’s a joy to see the product we dreamed of being unfolded, step by step. And we made that happen by implementing real-time display. Customers, unlike earlier, can now see the design changes then and there.
Fast Shipping
Can’t wait for a couple of days until the bat arrives? Well, we have got that covered for you, by setting up a fast ship option that delivers you bat the very next day from when you customize it online.
Wood Type
Who knows better than your customers on which base their dream bat should be crusted with. So, we leave it to the customers to choose the wood type - be it Maple, Yellow Birch, or Northern White Ash.
Bat Length
Some like it short. Some like it long. Customers can now choose the length of the bats, from knob end to barrel end. The size of the bat, in inches, is displayed on the screen, so you know where to pause and finalize the size.
Drop Weight
Shoppers also are given the extra option to determine the difference between the bat length and weight. The possibilities are provided from -3 to 0. The Phoenix Bats, however, recommends the default.
Cupping
This lets the customers shape the top of the bats, the way they want it. Shoppers can choose to have or not have the bowl-like indentation at the top of a wood bat. This is usually added to reduce the overall bat’s weight by a bit.
Barrel, Handle and Logo Color
The complete freedom to choose a color of the customer’s choice, the barrel, handle and the logo engraving color. Shoppers can pick the colors, and it gets instantly reflected on the screen to help them arrive at a conclusion.
Free Text Engraving
This allows customers to add a line or two of their favorite words on the bat, to make it even more special. This can be their name or a quote they admire. Shoppers can add a maximum of two lines, with 35 characters per line.
Add Your Logo
Shoppers can add their team logo and flaunt it across the bat. Productimize has implemented a feature where the logo can be uploaded in any format - .jpg, .png, .pdf, .tiff, .cdr, .ai, .eps, .psd!
Dynamic Pricing
The overall cost of the bat varies, based upon the features customers choose to have on their bat. The price changes are displayed immediately as soon as customers add or remove aspects from the bat.
Insightful Checkout
Before shoppers click the ‘buy’ button, we set up a feature showing a screen with a detailed description of all the customizations added by the customer. This is for the customer to recheck, for one last time.
