Photobox website refresh and digital campaign
COMMISSIONED CONCEPT
Photobox are an online photo printing retailer operating across Europe, offering personalised photographic gifts. The team wanted to increase sales and grow market share by attracting a younger, mostly female demographic. They needed to do so without alienating their existing customers.
One goal was to reduce the number of steps to purchase and improve the user experience along the way. In addition they wanted to get a clear picture of the competitive landscape and to improve their online user experience.

Research stage
-
I researched the target audience - busy modern women, likely to be aged between 20-25, looking for a balance in life and prioritising relationships. Their need is to form relationships whilst having fun. They seek out products that feel unique with a personal touch.
-
I audited Photobox's digital collateral - focussing on the company's website and instagram presence, to establish what was working well, and where improvements could be made.
-
I completed a thorough benchmarking exercise with major competitors as well as brands that appeal to the target demographic.
