### First Slovak Unicorn

Electronic star is part of the global e-commerce company **Berlin Brands Group (BBG), founded by Dominik Brichta and Peter Both** in 2012. Their **40 e-shops** offer consumer electronics and home appliances to **customers in 26 countries.** Thanks to a 2021 investment made by American company Bain Capital, BBG became the **first Slovak company with a $1 billion valuation.**

#### More than €100,000/year thanks to Luigi’s Box

Given our size, Luigi's Box brings us over €100,000 a year without much hard work for a price that was immediately returned multiple times.

### Overlooked Search Potential

In total, **82% of Electronic Star customers do not use search** because they are incentivized to buy products immediately. Given this type of traffic, **Electronic Star did not consider search a high priority.** However, they missed out on the remaining 18% of customers who used search and sometimes got irrelevant results, leading them not to purchase the desired product.

### Experimenting with Autocomplete

In April 2018, Luigi’s Box Customer Success Manager met with Electronic Star representatives and explained the value of search as a revenue stream. **Within two weeks, the e-shop agreed to try out Autocomplete. The Luigi’s Box team took care of the technical implementation, so none of the client’s developers were required.** Once the tool was incorporated, the e-shop eagerly waited for results.

### Clear Opportunity in Search

Currently, only a small percentage of customers use Autocomplete while searching. **Still, this brings in more than 100,000 EUR per year on top of standard revenue, mainly thanks to the conversion rate uplift, which is 40% better than from people who use standard search.**

Seeing positive results, Electronic Star instantly realized the **great potential of their search feature** and decided to encourage customers to use it on the website. They are now trying to make searching for products easier and more fun so that **more of their customers find and buy what they want.**
