CHALLENGE:

Improve User Shopping Experience

As a unknown brand in the lifestyle and interior design space, Gertmenian struggled with how to speak to their audience to convey their message and drive sales and loyalty. They came to WBX with three clear objectives:

  1. Improve customer’s shoppability.
  2. Reduce the rug jargon and make the storefront more consumer friendly.
  3. Improve visibility and effectiveness of the Amazon storefront.
SOLUTION:

Optimized Content

WBX worked with Gertmenian to optimize their Amazon storefront:

  • Optimized navigation pages to drive shoppers to their preferred categories, allowing them to shop by size for both indoor & outdoor rugs.
  • Removed industry jargon from the navigation that consumers weren’t familiar with to ensure an easier UX.
  • Implemented new product selector module on the Area & Outdoor Rug landing pages.
  • Added a running loop video to the brand store homepage.
METHODOLOGY:

Brand Store Data To Refine Content

  • Leveraged brand store data to understand how customers are typically shopping the Gertmenian brand store.
  • Provided initial recommendations and tested the change during the Black Friday/Cyber
