When it comes to problem-solving, one of the fundamental principles is taking the time to truly understand the intricacies of the issue at hand. In our case, this meant delving deep into the problem by retracing our steps and diving into the wealth of data available to us. We meticulously examined various factors, including page views, bounce rates, e-commerce conversion rates, past revenue figures, and the diverse range of user personas. In the context of an e-commerce and education site like SLR Lounge, these considerations were particularly multifaceted.
Our approach began by addressing the glaring UX issues that were directly impacting revenue. One standout problem was the unconventional use of a Stripe checkout popup, a non-standard feature in the typical checkout process. Users even had the option to dismiss the popup by pressing the 'ESC' key, further compounding the issue.
However, we didn't stop there. We recognized that one of the most critical elements to design effectively was not the homepage or individual product pages but the often-overlooked category section of the store. Visitors arriving at SLR Lounge's platform typically arrived with a clear idea of what they sought, requiring a streamlined and intuitive path to access their desired products and a straightforward checkout process.
Our approach was underpinned by a commitment to meticulous understanding, user-centric design, and data-driven decision-making. By tackling these pivotal issues head-on, we set SLR Lounge on a trajectory to significantly enhance the user experience, drive revenue growth, and optimize the e-commerce platform.This strategic approach paved the way for a more efficient, user-friendly, and revenue-driven platform, ultimately improving the overall experience for SLR Lounge's diverse user base.
This old flow revealed that from the old workshop page there was only one way to “Premium” and extra steps to the “Checkout” from the workshop section, this was also revealed in the GOOGLE Analytics of a drop off. We needed to shorten the steps to purchase a product or become a premium member.
In our quest to streamline the checkout process and boost conversion rates, we implemented several user-centric enhancements:
1. Streamlined Navigation:
To guide users seamlessly through the checkout process, we strategically removed unnecessary navigational elements that could potentially distract or tempt them to exit the process prematurely.
2. Visible Shopping Cart Reminder:
If a user abandoned the checkout process and began exploring other products, we ensured they were aware of their pending workshop purchase. By displaying the shopping cart on the right-hand side of the screen, users could easily spot their pending items. This thoughtful feature not only encouraged users to complete their workshop purchase but also led to a notable increase in conversion rates.
3. Abandoned Cart Email Sequence:
Building on the improved user flow, we introduced an Abandoned Cart email sequence. This series of emails was designed to re-engage users who may have left the platform without completing their purchase. By reaching out to these users with tailored reminders and incentives, we aimed to recapture their interest and encourage them to finalize their workshop bookings.
Through these strategic enhancements, we prioritized the user experience and ensured that potential workshop participants could navigate the platform seamlessly and with greater ease. As a result, we witnessed a tangible improvement in conversion rates, underlining the effectiveness of our user-centric approach.
