How Goorin Bros EU Turns Product Questions into Sales in Minutes

Goorin Bros in Europe: a cap with character

A black sheep. A rooster. A gorilla with attitude. Goorin Bros makes headwear that gives people a way to express themselves. The brand’s hat-making history goes back to 1895, while its animal-patch collection, The Farm, began in 2003.

Across Europe, Goorin Bros EU brings that character to shoppers through animal-themed trucker caps, beanies and distinctive collections. Customers come for a design that feels like them. Finding it is where personal advice makes the difference.

With Flyweight, the store carries that personality into conversations that lead to purchases. Its AI assistant, Wise Owl, helps shoppers find a design, compare the details and move to checkout. The results show up in paid orders containing the products discussed in chat.

Finding the right cap takes more than choosing an animal

Shoppers often know the look they want before they know its product name. They might ask for something understated with an animal patch, a particular Black Sheep design, or a cap without a mesh back.

Then come the practical questions. Is the material leather? What does “OS” mean? Is an adult cap suitable for a child? Which alternative keeps the same style when the exact model is unavailable?

Answering well means connecting design, construction, sizing and the customer’s preferences. It also means knowing when the available information cannot confirm a match.

A product adviser with the brand’s personality

Goorin Bros EU uses Flyweight’s AI chatbot for Shopify for both shopping advice and customer support. Flyweight’s Knowledge Graph connects the store’s product and service knowledge so the assistant can bring relevant details into the conversation.

Wise Owl’s configured voice is warm, confident and playful. That comes through in its replies in German and English: animal references, a little humour and practical next steps. A question about a cap still feels like a conversation with the same brand the customer came to browse.

A Teddy cap recommendation. A paid order five minutes later.

A shopper starts by asking for white caps, then narrows the search to Teddy designs.

Wise Owl links to the Double Stuffed - Teddy and explains its details: a teddy-bear motif, beige colour, OG Trucker shape and one-size fit. The customer gets a specific product they can buy, with the information needed to recognise the right design.

The path is concrete: a design request, a relevant recommendation and the recommended product in the order.

From a goat motif to a cap-and-beanie purchase

Another shopper is looking for goat designs. Wise Owl brings together matching caps and beanies, including The G.O.A.T cap and The Greatest beanie, with links to the products.

The conversation helps someone browse by the idea in their head. They do not need to know the collection name or search separately through caps and beanies. One animal motif opens up matching options across the range.

Finding an alternative that still wins the sale

A shopper wants an all-black leather Black Sheep cap. Wise Owl cannot find that exact combination, so it explains the choices.

The black Black Sheep model it finds is polyester and cotton. The Suede Sheep has a different colour combination. For someone who wants the black leather look, the assistant points to faux-leather designs with other animal motifs, including Lioness.

An unavailable combination becomes a useful conversation about what matters most: the animal, the colour or the material. The shopper chooses an alternative the assistant has brought into view.

Sales that follow the conversation

8.5% of Goorin Bros EU chat sessions led to a paid order, about one in twelve. Among those purchasing chats, 82% placed their first paid order within 30 minutes.

Paid orders are attributed within seven days of the shopper’s last message. Each purchasing chat counts once; timing uses its first paid order.

The individual purchases show what those numbers look like in practice. A Teddy request leads to the Teddy cap. A goat search leads to a matching cap and beanie. A precise material request leads to a suitable alternative.

The same brand voice, before and after the sale

Wise Owl keeps Goorin’s playful personality throughout the shopping experience. Its product advice in German and English combines animal references and a little humour with useful details about the range.

The assistant also supports customers after checkout. A submitted order-lookup form can return shipment details and a tracking link directly in chat. When a return needs personal attention, Wise Owl provides a support form and confirms the submitted request for the team to follow up.

For Goorin Bros EU, the value starts with the product question. Customers describe what they want in their own words, Wise Owl helps them find it, and the recommended products appear in paid orders minutes later.
