Scaling products and demand spikes with real-time customer intelligence

Digital transformation for Crocs, powered by Salesforce.

Taylor had a mission. She’d seen a limited-edition drop of Crocs x Lisa Frank clogs teased on social. Now, she was racing the clock—and thousands of other fans—to grab a pair in her size before they vanished.

 

But unlike past drops, the experience this time was different.

Taylor received a personalized launch reminder on her phone the night before, followed by a “Get Ready” push notification an hour before the sale. When she clicked in, her payment and size were pre-filled, and she checked out in seconds.

What Taylor didn’t see was the platform behind the experience—one built to anticipate her behavior, reward her loyalty, and deliver a frictionless path to purchase.

That platform didn’t happen by accident. It was the result of a multi-year digital transformation.

From seasonal drops to always-on engagement

Crocs, the iconic footwear brand founded in Colorado, has grown from cult favorite to global powerhouse, with over $3 billion in annual revenue and retail operations in 85+ countries.

 

Its bold collaborations, playful tone, and product comfort have won over millions of fans.

As Crocs grew, it had to manage relationships with millions of direct-to-consumer (DTC) customers.

 

Disconnected tools made it hard to:

  • Track customer behavior across channels and regions

  • Personalize communication at scale

  • Activate loyalty and lifecycle journeys in real time

  • Launch and manage product drops without overloading systems

Crocs needed a platform—and a partner—that could connect data, content, and campaigns into one intelligent, scalable engine.

More than just campaigns—community

Stashem Salesforce Consulting used Salesforce to built a modern engagement foundation for Crocs.

 

Using Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Data Cloud, and Commerce Cloud, all stitched together with MuleSoft for real-time API integration across regions and legacy platforms, Crocs was digitally transforming its experiences.

The heart of the transformation was customer data. Stashem helped Crocs unify first-party data—including purchase history, clickstream, email engagement, and loyalty activity—into a real-time Customer 360 profile powered by Salesforce Data Cloud.

From there, Stashem Salesforce Consulting and Crocs designed and launched AI-powered journeys, including:

  • Personalized product drops and collection previews based on prior behavior

  • Replenishment reminders for core products (e.g., Jibbitz™ charms)

  • Birthday and anniversary loyalty campaigns

  • Re-engagement journeys for dormant shoppers

  • Predictive next-best-offer journeys triggered by browsing patterns

Each message was personalized by product category, location, lifecycle stage, and device. 

“We want to deliver experiences that feel as good as our shoes.”

Engineering the best pair

One of the biggest wins came during Crocs’ annual Halloween release—a limited-edition horror-themed collection that sells out in hours.

 

Using real-time triggers and waitlist segmentation, the Salesforce system queued up launch notifications, personalized cart experiences, and exclusive loyalty access based on engagement.

Crocs saw 4x increase in early access conversion and a 26% higher AOV (average order value) from loyalty members.

Behind the scenes, Commerce Cloud powered a responsive, localized site experience, while Salesforce’s AI predicted surge patterns and optimized inventory visibility.
