The challenge

The Royal Mint, a heritage coin maker expanding into digital collectibles and e-commerce, needed to deliver personalized customer journeys at scale. It also had to withstand major traffic spikes, such as the King Charles III Coronation period, without downtime.

The solution

The Royal Mint built its digital experience on Optimizely One, using personalization to tailor journeys around each customer's coin collection and its Digital Collections registration program to grow its audience.

Everybody gets a unique journey based on their coin collection.
