Streamlining product selection
Enhancing CX through fewer clicks
A critical improvement for Adorne's online platform was streamlining the product selection process by identifying customers' challenges in quickly identifying available sizes and efficiently adding products to their cart.

This approach reduced the time spent per transaction and significantly lowered the likelihood of customer frustration.

Increased customer convenience and efficiency, improved the shopping process, improved customer satisfaction and provided a rise in conversion rates.
Targeted reduction in return rates
Data informing accurate purchasing
An analysis of customer data was conducted to address the prevalent issue of returns in online fashion retail. Examining patterns in returns and customer feedback revealed that size-related issues were a primary reason for returns. To combat this, a 'runs small' or 'runs large' size indicator was implemented. This feature offers a clear, data-driven solution to a common online shopping hurdle, helping customers make better-informed size choices, thereby significantly reducing return rates due to size issues.
- Data analysis: Delved into return data to understand the primary causes of size-related returns.
- Customer feedback analysis: Integrated customer feedback to refine the size indicator's accuracy.
- Precise size guidance: Developed indicators for each product, providing a reliable reference for size choices.
- Improved shopping confidence: Increased customer confidence in size selection, leading to fewer returns.


Reduction in return rates and reinforced customer trust.
Enhanced pre-checkout experience
Boosting engagement and conversion
A slideout cart was added to refine the pre-checkout phase to drive conversions further. The progress bar indicating the nearness to the free shipping threshold encourages additional purchases. Additionally, the cart presents upsell products relevant to the chosen items, enhancing the potential for increased sales. These features streamline the shopping process, offering a more engaging and fluid path to purchase.
- Goal-gradient motivation: The progress bar in the slideout cart leverages the goal-gradient effect to motivate additional purchases.
- Improved upsell strategy: Strategically selected upsell products in the cart increase the likelihood of additional sales.
- Streamlined user journey: The features simplify the checkout process, reducing friction and increasing the likelihood of purchase completion.

Goal-oriented design and strategic upselling enhance user engagement, leading to improved conversion.
