01 / Key Business Challenges

Key Problems & Obstacles

Critical eCommerce friction points the babywear label needed to eliminate to guide gift-buyers and boost average order values.

!
Age & Sizing Navigation Friction: Parents and gift-buyers felt overwhelmed navigating across baby months (0-6M, 6-12M) and toddler years (1-6Y) on mobile.
!
Missed Outfit Coordination Sales: Customers purchased standalone character leggings without easily finding matching tops, hoodies, and sock sets.
!
Gift-Buyer Drop-offs: Grandparents and friends buying baby gifts struggled to select coordinated bundles and custom gift packaging at checkout.
!
Heavy Visual Lookbook Latency: Rich character graphics, seasonal collection lookbooks, and customer photos slowed down mobile page load speeds.
!
Cross-Border Multi-Currency Drops: Expanding from the UK into the US and European markets required localized currency pricing and localized shipping rules.
