H&M:

Recovering $1M/Day through Strategic Marketing and Optimization

"A trusted advisor and business partner, in the truest sense of the word, to help guide an organization through phases of change and growth."
 
Bill M., Head of Enterprise Architecture

The Business Challenge

H&M was losing up to $1M per day in revenue due to abandoned shopping carts. Their existing e-commerce platform struggled with slow load times, inconsistent user experiences, and a lack of alignment between digital marketing efforts and customer behavior. Leadership needed a solution that could deliver results quickly without disrupting ongoing operations.

The Strategic Solution

We developed a comprehensive plan that addressed the core issues impacting performance and customer retention:

  • E-Commerce Optimization: Redesigned the online shopping experience to streamline navigation, improve load times, and reduce friction points in the checkout process.
  • Data-Driven Insights: Analyzed customer behavior and cart abandonment trends to inform design and marketing decisions.
  • Marketing Alignment: Realigned digital campaigns to target key customer segments, driving traffic directly to optimized product pages.

The Measurable Outcome

  • 75% faster page load times, improving customer satisfaction and retention.
  • Increased checkout completion rates across all devices, with mobile conversions seeing the most significant improvement.

Key Takeaways for Business Leaders

  1. Customer-Centric Strategy Wins: Aligning marketing and technology decisions with customer behavior delivers immediate ROI.
  2. Data Should Guide Design: Real-time insights into user pain points create targeted, high-impact solutions.
  3. Speed Matters: In competitive retail markets, even minor delays in performance can cost millions.
