Blackmores - Making Wellbeing a subscription for Australians
Challenge
Blackmores is a titan of the wellbeing industry, helping Australians live healthy and happy lives since 1932. As the company grew from strength to strength, it became increasingly important for it to embrace digital distribution channels, with its flagship website a cornerstone of the business. The company was experiencing less than desirable ecommerce conversion and relatively high attrition for subscribing customers
Solution
After some initial research, we discovered that parts of the customer journey were over-complicated and unreliable, and didn't offer their customer any extra value to what they could find in stores. We also unearthed some interesting usability statistics, like the fact that ~98% customers added products directly to their cart from a list page rather than a product details page, and 1/3 of all purchases were returning visitors. These insights helped us build an understanding of who we were designing for, and allowed us to create a strategy that addressed key issues. I was engaged to help improve the website’s overall usability with a focus on increasing first-time and repeat conversion rates.
