How Ferner Jacobsen Boosted Online Credibility with Lipscore

May 19, 2025

Can a century-old fashion house build digital trust as seamlessly as it tailors a suit? Ferner Jacobsen proves it’s not just possible—it’s powerful.

A Storied Brand Meets a Modern Challenge

Since 1916, Ferner Jacobsen has been synonymous with classic tailoring, premium fashion, and white-glove customer service. With two flagship locations in Oslo and Fredrikstad, the brand has long been a staple for style-conscious Norwegians.

But as the fashion industry moved online, even heritage brands needed new tools to maintain trust—and build it with a younger, digital-first audience. For Ferner Jacobsen, reputation was never in question. The challenge? Proving that reputation to first-time online visitors.

The Challenge: Earning Digital Trust in a Legacy Brand

Ferner Jacobsen had no shortage of loyal customers or in-store credibility. But in an online landscape filled with competing fashion retailers, trust needs to be visible.

With no existing system in place to collect or showcase verified customer reviews, the brand risked missing out on conversion-driving trust signals and SEO-boosting content. They needed a solution that could bring their in-store reputation online—authentically and at scale.

"We want to provide the best customer service for our customers, because we know how important these five-star reviews can be for both new and existing customers. When these reviews are visible, this also helps us to want to go the extra mile to provide the best possible service. We value our customers the most, and it is therefore important for us to meet with the most and best possible knowledge and service."

The solution? Lipscore’s verified review system

Ferner Jacobsen partnered with Lipscore to start collecting verified service reviews from online shoppers. It was the first step in creating a review strategy that matched their premium brand identity.

Here’s what they implemented:

  • Verified Service Reviews – Every review came from a real customer, ensuring authenticity.
  • Internal Performance Insights – Feedback became a mirror for staff and service teams, highlighting what customers valued—and where there was room to improve.
  • Future-Proofing with Product Reviews – Starting with service feedback laid the foundation for expanding into detailed product reviews in the future.
