Context:

Luxury shopping is associated with indulgence, exclusivity and superior service. However, these aspects don't often translate in an e-commerce space. This case study outlines a series of touchpoints and features across the journey by which these emotions can be channelised online, as well as making the experience more intuitive, engaging and increasing time spent in app.

The process:
  • Research through interviews and competitor study.

  • Identifying scope for improvement, brainstorming for new features, card sorting.

  • Developing a visual style and UI design for new features

Platform insights

User insights

Personalisation

Users see everything indiscriminately with the same hierarchy. Searching via the search bar is common, and exploration and discovery remains low.

Usability

Crowded bottom navigation with similar labels. Moving from indilux to global luxury differs across sections. The mandatory choice of luxury/ indilux isn’t evident, and may be irrelevant.

Luxury

Key luxury shopping experiences like expertise, storytelling, reassurance are missing. What sets it apart from a normal E-commerce site?

Repeat usage

Features that would motivate regular use are missing/ layered so unintuitively that they get missed. The notifications which could serve this purpose, are annoying and excessive.

How it works

Splash screen, Home, Journal

Shoppers can customise their feed similar to being greeted at a store and being asked “How may I help you?” The options can be given based on popularity and behaviour. The Curated for You section has what the app feels will appeal to users based on context (Ex: matching chairs if they recently bought a table) and tastes (Ex: Minimal shoes if they buy understated clothes.) Content on new launches of products and brands users are interested in, along with quick links to purchase the same as they explore the collection.

Product

Get an idea of the finer details using the 3D views, and “Try On” purchases before buying using Augmented Reality filters. Pre selecting size based on previous buys. After users add a product to their bag, matching accessories can be displayed in the "Make it an Outfit" section to upsell while adding value and saving time. Selfie and timer modes make it easy to view the entire outfit even while shopping alone. They can take photos with the AR filters of the product and share with people in app itself

Collaborative shopping, Cart

Coordinating online gift shopping with a group, or even getting different opinions generally involves sharing links individually, confusion, clashing opinions and potential error. Ease out this process by enabling users to share a bundle of product options, have contributers rate, and be alerted to the option with the highest rating to directly buy. Rating instead of votes ensures none of the contributers feel like their opinion was disregarded. Sticky price for ease of use and prominent wishlist button for an unbroken flow when users want to add more products to cart. Context sensitive, useful and low ticket items can be shown here: reminiscent of the items available in checkout queues.

Styling games, Collections

The "Try It On" feature can be expanded into a styling game, where Tata Cliq provides suggestions and guidance as users build an outfit or decorate their rooms. All the chosen items can be combined into a collection that users can save or buy at one shot People can see how others have styled themselves/ their spaces using only Tata Cliq items for inspiration.
