How a Dropshipping Store Competed with Mejuri—and Won

Branded dropshipping stores face an impossible challenge: how do you compete with established luxury brands when you don't have their heritage, manufacturing story, or multi-million dollar marketing budgets? Kloudy UK cracked the code—and 6x'd their email revenue in the process.

01

Challenge

Challenge

Kloudy UK sold quality jewelry. But so did Mejuri. And Monica Vinader. And every other premium jewelry brand with years of brand equity and customer loyalty

The harsh reality of branded dropshipping: customers don't know why they should choose you. Without a manufacturing story, heritage narrative, or clear differentiation, you're just another store selling pretty things on the internet.

Email revenue sat at 4% of total revenue—a massive missed opportunity. But the issue wasn't send frequency or subject lines. The emails read like every other jewelry brand: "New collection just dropped" and "20% off sitewide." Generic product pushes that gave customers zero reason to care about Kloudy specifically.

Without a compelling brand narrative, email became just another discount channel.

The Insight

Premium positioning doesn't come from what you make-it comes from how you tell your story.

Mejuri didn't win by having better jewelry. They won by building a brand that stood for something. "Fine jewelry for everyday" wasn't a product description—it was a positioning statement that resonated emotionally.

Kloudy couldn't compete on heritage or manufacturing. But they could compete on brand narrative and visual presentation. The opportunity was clear: transform email from a product-push channel into a premium brand storytelling engine.

Strategy

Strategy

We rebuilt Kloudy's email program around brand narrative, visual sophistication, and strategic positioning—not product promotions.

Premium Brand Storytelling

Every email became part of a larger narrative that explained what Kloudy stood for and why it mattered.

The approach:

  • Positioned against the market: Kloudy as the thoughtful, curated alternative to mass-market jewelry—and the accessible alternative to luxury brands
  • Built brand philosophy: Explained why they chose specific materials, how they curated collections, what made their jewelry special
  • Created emotional connection: Moved beyond "buy this necklace" to "here's why this matters to you"

The shift: From selling products to building a brand customers wanted to be part of

Strategic Visual Presentation

We worked with Kloudy's refined photography to create a cohesive premium brand experience

The strategy:

  • Photography as storytelling: High-quality images weren't just product display—they communicated lifestyle, aspiration, and brand values
  • Consistent visual language: Every email reinforced premium positioning through sophisticated visual presentation
  • Elevated perception: Photography placement was strategic, building the perception of a premium brand

The result: Customers saw Kloudy as a premium brand, not a dropshipping store

Educational Campaigns

We developed campaigns that walked customers through the Kloudy philosophy—building credibility and justifying premium positioning.

The content:

  • Material education: Why certain metals, stones, and finishes matter
  • Curation story: How Kloudy selects pieces vs. mass-market alternatives
  • Styling guidance: How to wear jewelry, build collections, create personal style

The impact: Customers understood what they were buying and why it was worth it

Repeat Purchase Enablement

We created campaigns designed to convert one-time buyers into repeat customers—without discounting.

The tactics:

  • New collection introductions: Positioned as natural next steps for existing customers
  • Strategic offers: Incentives that reinforced premium positioning (exclusive access, VIP perks) rather than percentage-off discounts
  • Collection building: Encouraged customers to build a jewelry wardrobe, not just buy one piece

The outcome: One-time buyers became repeat customers through brand loyalty, not discounts

Results

In six months, we transformed 401 Games from a basic broadcast operation into a sophisticated revenue machine:

The Takeaway

Kloudy UK proves that you don't need a manufacturing story or heritage narrative to compete in premium categories. You need a compelling brand story and the discipline to tell it consistently.


The breakthrough wasn't better products or lower prices—it was recognizing that customers don't buy jewelry, they buy into brands they connect with. By transforming email from a transactional channel into a brand-building engine, we helped Kloudy compete with established premium brands on their own terms.

Email revenue jumped from 4% to 25%+ of total revenue. But more importantly, customers started seeing Kloudy as a brand worth returning to—not just a place to buy jewelry.

You can't out-heritage Mejuri. But you can out-story them
