Project Objectives
Seamless Digital Journey
Crafting an integrated digital experience for traditional smokers and existing glo™ users to streamline the consumer journey, enhance awareness, and boost conversion rates.
Enhancing glo™ Brand Perception
Elevating the perception of the glo™ brand through a comprehensive digital strategy, aimed at improving brand image and increasing product adoption both online and offline.
Optimising Conversion and Uptake
Focusing on increasing product uptake by simplifying the consumer journey, driving conversions, and strategically positioning glo™'s offerings for both online and offline channels.
Early Insights
With low conversions and retention identified as key issues, our first step was to comprehend the existing pain points experienced by users. To achieve this, we re-enacted key flows, including sign-ups and checkout processes, while conducting a comprehensive audit of the overall experience, focusing on components and presented information.
Things we found through our discovery sessions
Age Gate
Verification of ages, necessitated by country laws, leads to the implementation of different forms of age gates—either soft or hard—to prevent unauthorised access
Content Discoverability
Balancing product-related information to foster education and awareness is a recurring theme across various touchpoints.
Broken Experience
Utilising multiple platforms/technologies, coupled with disjointed flows, results in notable friction and increased drop-offs in user experience
Varied Components
Abundant use of components, lacking consistency, contributes to significant brand misalignment
So, what did we do next?
Solutions
In addressing the challenge of integrating two brands into a unified site as part of the brand's future plans, we needed to take into account scalability and reusability of the design, templates and components.
