Overview

Navimow, Segway’s robotic lawn mower brand, partnered with Gocertify as part of a wider international expansion strategy into Western markets. Headquartered in Shenzhen, the brand was looking to grow aggressively across Europe using the affiliate channel as a core acquisition lever, beginning with launches in France, Germany, and the UK.

While Navimow already had strong products and growing demand, closed user group (CUG) marketing was still a relatively new concept internally.

Working closely with Webgains and Gocertify, Navimow launched a tailored verification programme across France, Germany, and the UK. In the first three months:

• £200K+ in sales
• £800+ AOV
• 33% verification-to-purchase rate

The partnership has since become part of Navimow’s broader international growth strategy, with further market expansion planned as additional affiliate programmes launch globally.

‍

Background

Navimow entered Western markets with ambitious global expansion plans but limited familiarity with closed user group offer strategies. Like many fast-growing Chinese consumer technology brands expanding internationally, the business was still developing its understanding of how affiliate-driven customer acquisition works across Europe and other Western regions. They wanted:

• Scale: a way to launch locally relevant campaigns across multiple countries
• Insight: better visibility into who their customers actually were
• Conversion: personalised onsite experiences for high-intent shoppers
• Retention: the ability to segment and remarket to verified shoppers
• Control: flexible campaign management without heavy development work

‍

Strategy & Execution

The partnership began through an introduction from Webgains, whose international affiliate expertise and local market knowledge helped accelerate the rollout.

• Lightweight implementation: Gocertify's shopify integration meant a fast, low-friction launch
• Multi-market rollout: France and Germany first, UK added as the programme scaled
• Audience-first targeting: verified offers for Seniors, Key Workers, Teachers, and Healthcare workers rather than broad public promotions
• Localisation: on-site messaging and dynamic pricing adapted by market and audience segment
• Strategic education: Gocertify helped Navimow understand the full value of CUG beyond discounting, helping the brand understand how verified offers could increase conversion rates, improve customer acquisition and create more personalised onsite experiences in entirely new markets.

Special Requests and Integrations

Beyond conversion, a major strategic priority for Navimow was customer insight. Using Gocertify’s DataCapture product, the brand began collecting richer demographic information from verified shoppers to better understand who was engaging with the brand across different markets.

Rather than simply running discounts, Navimow used verification as a way to strengthen its first-party data strategy and improve customer intelligence. The team also used DataCapture for:

• Remarketing
• Campaign optimisation
• Re-engagement of verified non-purchasers
• Audience segmentation within their CRM ecosystem

‍

Results

In the first three months following launch, Navimow generated:

• £200K+ in attributed sales
• 33% verification-to-purchase conversion rate
• £800+ AOV‍
• Seniors made up 69% of all verifications and 68.7% of total revenue

The data gave Navimow clear evidence on their most commercially valuable audiences, directly shaping future targeting and campaign strategy. As a result of the programme’s early success, Navimow is continuing to expand the strategy into additional global markets as new affiliate programmes launch internationally.
