Case StudyStrategic PDP Design

A comprehensive case study exploring the impact of strategic design and brand development on the eCommerce and virtual marketplace product detail page (PDP). 

Summary

Overview

Most brands recognize the value of a robust product detail page (PDP) brand presence, which can contribute significantly to improved performance. However, creative professionals are aware that brands don’t always prioritize their organic content design to the same extent as their paid content. To address this gap, I embarked on a mission to demonstrate the true impact of exceptional PDP design and how investing in organic content can be equally, if not more rewarding and crucial than investing in paid content. My goal was to showcase that high-quality design is essential to augmenting user engagement, satisfaction, and ultimately, sales and conversion.

Process

I collaborated with five prominent brands to enhance the creative elements of their PDPs for over 30 products. My focus was specifically on optimizing their product image galleries and enhanced content. All of these products’ PDPs had already undergone copy and SEO optimization according to best practices, enabling me to concentrate solely on their creative assets.

I used a variety of research and testing methods including hosting brainstorming sessions and focus groups to build out design concepts and A/B testing the before and afters to gain insight into the consumer experience. By comparing the pre-existing non-optimized designs with the newly crafted creative, I obtained remarkable results that demonstrate the tangible benefits of a well-crafted PDP.
