THE STORY
DIRECT TO CONSUMER ECOMMERCE BRAND
Founded in 1996 and based in California, Lulus buys, designs and sells on-trend women’s fashion through its online boutique, which serves customers all over the world. Lulus offers formal wear such as cocktail and day party dresses, as well as dresses for events like homecoming, formals, prom and even wedding gowns. Women can also shop casual wear including separates, denim, swim, shoes, accessories and intimates.

THE GOAL
INCREASE BRAND AWARENESS + DRIVE ONLINE SALES
Mi Sota Essence sought to elevate its website, reflecting the brand’s mission of promoting movement and self-care through CBD and THC products. The goal was to educate visitors, enhance product perception, and grow web traffic with a strategic SEO plan.
THE SOLUTION
DIRECT TO CONSUMER CANNABIS PRODUCTS
A comprehensive website overhaul featuring refined photography and optimized SEO
Higher State Marketing worked closely with Mi Sota Essence to craft a visual and content strategy that showcased the products as a daily self-care routine and luxury in one. The website’s photography was infused with the founder’s Latina heritage, incorporating red tones and textiles that told the brand’s unique story.
We styled product and lifestyle images to reflect how Mi Sota Essence fits seamlessly into everyday life, from exercise routines to self-care moments. Additionally, an extensive SEO strategy was implemented, optimizing product pages, category pages, and key web content to enhance visibility and user experience.
