The challenge

What Was Holding Them Back.

What Was Holding Them Back

Challenge
01

High drop-off rates

Collection pages were losing a significant share of visitors before conversion.
Challenge
02

Under-promoted high-ticket items

Premium products weren't being surfaced effectively.
Challenge
03

Low value perception

Customers weren't seeing enough value in the product bundles.
THE approach

How We Diagnosed It.

We audited collection page drop-off and bundle performance, then rebuilt navigation, promotion and social proof around what was actually driving hesitation.

01
Simplified User Experience

Improved navigation and product discovery across the site.

02
Focused High-Ticket Promotions

Redirected the announcement bar to highlight high-ticket bundles.

03
Incentivised High-Ticket Sales

Added a free ebook offer on high-ticket product pages for BBQ buyers.

04
Enhanced Bundle Reviews

Redesigned the review section on bundle product pages for better visibility.
