How Alpine Dryers grew high-ticket leads +113% from the same traffic
A checkout-first store where the most valuable buyers needed a conversation, not a cart. Here is how real-time intent detection guided them to talk to an expert, without touching the storefront.
High-ticket gear, sold one conversation at a time
Alpine Dryers is an American-owned and operated company specializing in high-quality gear dryers for ski and winter equipment. With over 50 years of combined industry experience, it serves everyone from individual winter sports enthusiasts to large-scale buyers such as ski resorts, lodges, and commercial facilities.
While the products sell online, the company's most valuable revenue comes from high-ticket, bulk purchases that require personalized consultation rather than a simple checkout flow.
The challenge: a checkout-first site in a consultation business
At first glance, Alpine Dryers operates as a traditional e-commerce store. But not all visitors represent the same opportunity: individual customers buying a single dryer, and high-intent B2B and large residential buyers who need bulk orders, custom setups, or expert guidance first. The most valuable customers are not the ones who buy directly online, they are the ones who need to talk to an expert before a high-ticket decision.
Because both audiences shared the same website journey:
- High-value visitors browsed product pages without realizing they should speak to an expert
- Wholesale and bulk buyers were not guided clearly toward the contact form
- The site relied on visitors self-identifying their intent and navigating accordingly
Valuable leads were lost simply because the journey was not aligned with their needs. Alpine Dryers needed to identify and guide high-intent, high-value visitors toward a personalized sales conversation, without redesigning the site or disrupting standard e-commerce traffic.
The solution: intent-based guidance to an expert
Alpine Dryers added Pathmonk's intent-based personalization as a guidance layer on top of the existing website. Instead of treating every visitor the same, Pathmonk read behavioral signals of commercial intent and surfaced tailored microexperiences in real time to guide high-value visitors toward requesting a consultation, rather than proceeding straight to checkout.
Real-time intent detection
Pathmonk reads signals like repeated product page visits, time spent on technical specifications, and navigation patterns typical of bulk buyers to spot commercial intent as it happens.
Behavioral signalsB2B intentConsultation-driven microexperiences
Educational videos on technical configurations, testimonials from resorts and commercial facilities, and detailed FAQs, each triggered by behavior to move high-ticket buyers toward the lead form.
PersonalizationFunnel-stage aware
With the support of AI, the team built microexperiences for each stage of consideration, helping Alpine Dryers highlight their technical expertise, reduce friction in complex buying decisions, and drive more qualified form submissions from high-ticket prospects.

The result was a guided experience that actively supported the most valuable buyers, instead of leaving them to navigate alone. Pathmonk identified B2B and bulk-buying intent in real time, guided high-value visitors toward the lead form, kept the standard checkout flow untouched for direct buyers, and turned existing traffic into qualified sales conversations without additional marketing spend.
The results: +113% high-ticket leads
In less than two months, Alpine Dryers saw a clear and measurable improvement, achieved using existing traffic only, with no additional marketing or SEO investment.
Conversion rate more than doubled, measured before versus after Pathmonk on the same traffic.
Given the high average ticket size of customers requesting expert consultation, each additional conversion represented a meaningful revenue impact for the business.
What's next: more intent, more conversations
With high-intent buyers now guided to the right conversation, the natural next step is to extend intent detection deeper into the catalog and across more visitor segments, turning even more of the existing traffic into qualified, high-ticket sales conversations.
