About

 

At Charles Tyrwhitt we endeavour to produce the finest menswear, with timeless style and no compromise on quality. To top this off we provide exemplary customer service, with smashing prices and a pinch of British charm thrown in for good measure.

The core KPI of the Charles Tyrwhitt e-commerce team is conversion. Conversion between pages, add to basket conversion, overall order conversion. You name it…it’s conversion. We are extremely proud of our already well-performing site, but our job is to make it even better for our customers and for our business.

Brief

 

Task #1

Delivery and billing addresses are a core part of any checkout. Propose an improvement CT’s current address handling.

 

The objective of this task is to provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate your workflow (think research and competitor analysis, ideation, wireframes and possibly mock ups).

 

c.34% orders are placed by logged in visitors.

 

This exercise is designed to take no more than a few hours. 

​

​

Task #2

Review the website. What are the first 2 or 3 UX changes you would make, how would you prioritise them and what might you do to validate your proposals? Expect to have your suggestions critiqued. Please present your changes however you see fit.

UX Vision

​

1. Improve the core KPI - Conversion - by improving the current address handling                                                 

Conversion rate = no. of sales/no. of visits

Conversion is driven by customer loyalty.

Loyalty is driven by delightful user-centred experiences. 

​

2. Delightful user-centred experience requires journey completion or satisfactory delivery of the     

    product to the end-user. 

​

3. Delivery is therefore an essential part of building & maintaining customer loyalty. 

​

4. It is determined by reliability, communications and a responsible assertiveness.

Defining Phase

‘Proto-Research’ Findings 

The main issues were centred around:

   1. Poor communications - lack of sufficient contact & updates 

   2. Poor tracking services - customer frustration

   3. Unreliable courier services - not making delivery times/dates  

Possible Solutions to Issue Assumptions

Poor Communications - lack of sufficient contact & updates 

  • Every product/order is followed up regularly with SMS, email & voicemail

  • Read and confirm reply from customer to acknowledge each stage.

  • Website link for telephone, SMS or email enquiry to customer services using name, email & postcode as security included in communications

Poor Tracking Services - customer frustration

  • Tracking App

  • Website link for individualised order tracking using name, email & postcode as security

  • In the event that tracking fails or is not in place, e.g., Post Office delivery or foreign country, SMS, E-mail, or voicemail becomes a part of alternative customer support

Unreliable Courier Services - not making delivery times/dates  

  • Establishing rapport and regular dialogue with Post Office Delivery services

  • Creating an App with the delivery services

  • Creating a website link for SMS or email updates & enquiries to/from customer services using name, email & postcode as security included in communications
