Imagine this, Erin has a slight obsession with sunglasses. She already owns several pairs in various colours of similar style and shape because Erin knows what suits her face. She’s on a mission to find a chic pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses online and in a few clicks she’s landed on her favourite e-tailer site. Erin begins her search by firstly heading to the accessories menu, then into sunglasses. The excitement of an impending purchase is building.
That’s an impressive selection, 25 pages of sunglasses. Time is of the essence, she pans to the menu on the left to filter by colour and style. To her dismay, Erin can only filter colour and this leaves her with 400 products. This is not ideal as she knows exactly what she likes and scrolling through 12 pages is overwhelming and time consuming. The purchase inducing enthusiasm subsides quickly. Erin drops off the site and tries a long-tail keyword search instead on Google, which places her in prime position to find exactly what she’s looking for. She’s quickly matched with retailers who have their site optimised with clean content and relevant tags sorted.
94% of shoppers abandon a website or purchase when they are unable to find what they are looking for.
