Before implementing Storista, ToughTrucksForKids faced several challenges with their existing shoppable video apps, which hindered their sales and customer engagement.
Problem
Tough Trucks For Kids initially used other shoppable video plugins like Tolstoy, Novel, and considered Videowise. However, they encountered significant issues:
- Illogical / Non-Customer Friendly Pricing Models: These apps are charged based on the number of visitors rather than video views, leading to exorbitant overage fees.
- High Overage Fees: After a viral Instagram post, ToughTrucksForKids received a $957 overage bill from Tolstoy due to their pricing model.
- Poor Customer Support: Customer support for these apps needs improvement. It should have addressed the client's concerns more effectively.
These issues strained their budget and hampered their ability to provide a seamless shopping experience for their customers.
Solution
Storista emerged as the perfect solution for ToughTrucksForKids. The transition to Storista was smooth and efficient, addressing all the issues they faced with previous plugins:
- Easy Installation: The Storista app was installed and fully operational within 30 minutes, replacing the Tolstoy widget effortlessly.
- Excellent Customer Support: Storista's support team, particularly Irek, provided exceptional service, responding to queries within 10 minutes and assisting with CSS customization.
- Fair Pricing Model: Storista's transparent and fair pricing model eliminated the risk of unexpected overage fees.

- 128X Increase in Revenue: Within the first week of using Storista, the revenue generated from video views increased by 128X.
- $950+ Savings on Traffic Fees: Storista's fair pricing model saved the client over $950 in excess traffic fees.
