Trading
Flat / no trading on homepage – where are offers , deals, sale, valentines? Aspirational – but will that sell?

Why is this not on homepage?

Top Nav
Do your customers recognize these solutions / terms? Does not seem an intuitive fit vs competition

New In
New in Bridal wear
Not actually in New In
Why add NEW IN to copy?
Need to refine rules for new product and improve process / rules – multi attribute
Cant see any at all!
Inventivised overlay / header drop down etc – you need that data but at present only captured on (laborious!) registration process – as a luxury brand you have more engaged audience who would be willing to sign up
Engagement
Customers want engagement – show your audience that engagement!
No Blog – Google loves regular great content updated regularly – new in, valentines, perfect birthday present etc
Customer testimonials / Style focus
Discount
Why not shouting?
Category headers
Empty? Could you improve design etc
Category Attributes
At times basic.. - eg colour, rating
Discount / Savings
Could be better / cascade SALE Message through to product page and bigger shout re saving
Checkout
You need to prevent 'No Size” selections being added to basket
Checkout
Payment options?
Free delivery
Big shout on Free Delivery – but not best usability practice – is it noticeable?
Could you not add 10% discount message – more forceful
Why not do more with the Free Gift message? Strong shout!!!
Out of stocks
Possibly incentivize – sorry its out of stock BUT if you give us your email address / discount etc
Merchandising
What are the rules behind cross sell? A lot of products have no associations
Imagery
Great quality – try and keep same and not alternate
Upsell at Basket
Trade the product more at basket – incentivised messaging etc
Tie in with current promos etc eg FREE delivery over #35
Standardise trading of sets
These rules need to be looked at as at present confusing for customer when wanting to buy sets..
Lovely set – think Ill buy that ...

Real Estate
Your homepage needs to trade – and any imagery needs to be clickable which this is not - should at least be a PR page to read …

Why is there no link to actually buy it …
