Project History
UX Redesign for LuMee.com Website
http://lumee.comLed the complete redesign of LuMee.com, increasing the company's KPIs of CVR (+3%), AOV (+5%) and RPV (+10%).
A major element of the project was to provide our shoppers with a mobile app experience on a mobile responsive website. With 85% of the site traffic coming from mobile devices (primarily from social media sites), the redesigned site focused on recreating the interactions and navigation functionality of mobile app navigation in a mobile responsive website.
The shopping funnel was significantly optimized to present relevant information throughout the shopping journey to convert as many customers as possible.
In addition to redesigning the cart experience to be a dynamic Ajax sliding cart, we also added a one-click upsell that increased the storewide attach rate from 7% to 17%.
Launched First Loyalty Program for LuMee
https://lumee.com/pages/rewardsDesigned LuMee's first rewards and loyalty program which increased the return customer rate by 8%.
Major components of the project included:
1) Competitive research on successful loyalty programs for eCommerce and retail brands.
2) Worked with the marketing team to identify the most valuable "brand actions" to convert leads into prospects, prospects into customers, and customers into loyalists.
3) Worked with the finance team to define the unit economics of the program.
4) Led the design and development of the custom build and integrations with a third party rewards platform (Swell) to our POS (Shopify).
5) Documented processes for the customer support team.
After deploying the program, we saw an 8% increase in the repeat customer rate.
Related Noise Weebly App
Led the GTM strategy for the Related Noise Weebly app growing the customer base from 100 to 20,000 users in four months.
The primary objective was to reduce our seven-step onboarding process into three steps:
1) The dynamic feed of content from social media would be injected into a page on the blog.
2) The blogger would select the type of content they wanted to appear on their site.
3) The blogger would choose the design template for the feed.
Through these improvements, we increased our sign-up completion rate by 25% month over month. After two months of acquiring users, we became a featured app within the Weebly app store.
Tripled the Email Revenue of LuMee
Built an email team of five from the ground up which drove a 347% increase in channel revenue in 1.5 years.
We optimized the email capture experience to increase our email capture rate by 45%.
With these improvements, we grew the team to bring in an email consultant and marketing manager to continue growing the channel with more in-depth data analysis and segmentation. The channel grew from a non-priority to be the third largest revenue generating marketing channel for LuMee.com.
