Tutorial highlights on collections pages increase conversions for apparel brand.
Use tutorials to enhance product understanding on Collections pages.
Our client, an infant apparel brand with a diverse product catalog, faced a challenge.
Their products were complex enough that customers (especially first-time parents or gifters) could feel overwhelmed.
To address this, we placed tutorials at the end of the Collections page in addition to the homepage, resulting in a 3.7% overall increase in conversions.
Here’s Why it Worked
Tutorials on the Collections page did 3 things:
- Reduced anxiety: Tutorials alleviate anxiety and uncertainty for products that require know-how. This was key for this niche category, where buyers need reassurance about ease of use and safety.
- Empowered with knowledge: Simple instructions provide immediate value, increase interest, and demystify product usage, leading to more confident purchases.
- Targeted gifters: With the holiday season still in swing, tutorials were crucial for gift-givers who may not be as familiar with infant products as parents are.
What Most Brands Do Wrong
For products with a learning curve, information at each touchpoint is huge for customer understanding.
Often, too much focus is placed on the homepage. Many brands overlook the Collections page as a platform for educating and engaging.
Extending instructional content to the Collections page (only one click away from the product pages) makes it seamless for buyers to complete purchases with confidence.
