SCOPE
Migration · Brand refresh · E-commerce · SEO · Email marketing
02 / The challenge

Great teaching materials.
A website ready for its next chapter.

Where the old experience fell short

Cresora’s project brief described an aging Squarespace website with dated graphic elements and integrations. The next stage called for a stronger brand presentation, easier catalog navigation, and a store that could support ongoing marketing.
Teachers needed clear answers: Is this piece right for my student’s level? Can different levels play together? Does this book teach a new skill? What does the studio license permit?

What the new experience needed to do

  • Refresh the brand while preserving Susan’s personality.
  • Organize resources by musical format and ability.
  • Give creative method books a clear identity.
  • Connect demonstrations with relevant products.
  • Explain digital delivery and permitted use.
  • Support SEO and recurring email promotions.
03 / The solution

Less searching.
More music-making.

A specialist storefront organized around real teaching decisions, with clear paths from inspiration to purchase.
01 · Discover

Find the right piece

Solos, duets, ensembles, lead sheets, and method books give visitors familiar starting points. Ability filters, sorting controls, and visible prices help a teacher shop by lesson or recital need. The supplied review recorded 318 products; catalog size may change.
02 · Understand

Make method books stand out

A dedicated category gives Exploring Improvisation, Exploring Chord Progressions, Easy Lead Sheet Method Book, and Improv to Composition a clear home. Creative method books develop musicianship; sheet music collections provide supplemental repertoire.
03 · Decide

Explain the teaching value

Detailed product pages help buyers assess instructional fit and license terms. The Easy Lead Sheet Method Book example explains chord symbols, left-hand patterns in C major, backing tracks, creative activities, and 25 additional lead sheets.
04 · Trust

Clarify the studio license

The featured method book includes a Studio License for the teacher’s private studio students, with limits on sharing outside that studio. Descriptions, reviews, and related resources help teachers evaluate a purchase.
05 · Receive

Deliver digitally

The shop explains that products are digital downloads and no physical items are shipped, with file access after purchase. That removes shipping delays for international buyers preparing lessons or performances.
06 · Connect

Move from video to music

Demonstrations such as The Lonely Ghost and Monster Boogie connect the sound of a piece with its teaching purpose. Product links give viewers a practical next step from Susan’s SSBMusic content into the store.
04 / Ongoing growth

A launch is the beginning.
Keep the audience coming back.

The refreshed store works alongside educational content, seasonal promotions, and Susan’s established YouTube presence. Together, these channels support discovery and an ongoing relationship with teachers and musicians.

Search that opens the door

SEO and educational content help potential buyers discover relevant resources. Susan’s Corner, new releases, and seasonal offers give visitors more reasons to explore.

Email that keeps the connection

Weekly and monthly Systeme.io campaigns promote new products, services, and sales events, giving subscribers regular opportunities to return.

Video that demonstrates the value

Performances and teaching demonstrations connect Susan’s recognizable voice to product discovery. Her video introduction identifies more than 30 years of teaching experience.
05 / The customer journey

to the next piano lesson.
