17、 are four areas DTC brands need to focus on to prepare for the next chapter.1.Focus on your productFor most leading DTC furniture brands,a distinct product portfolio is their strongest weapon.Businesses that want to succeed in the long run must put their principal effort into their product,ensuring
18、that it meets the needs of the market they focus on.Quality,design,and value are paramount.“The essential ingredient for success in furniture e-commerce is the product.Whether your proposition is low-cost or premium,your product must deliver the best possible quality and design for the price that th

54、The home is a focal point in our lives,and people want to express their personalities through the items they choose for their living spaces.DTC brands recognized this opportunity and based their entire business models on offering the ability to configure their furniture online and create a unique pr
55、oduct that matches their needs and style.Customization is now a vital aspect of the online shopping experience.Not having the ability to see a piece of furniture in the exact color you like can be frustrating and lead to a poor user experience.According to Deloitte,42%of customers are interested in
56、furniture customization,and one in five consumers are willing to pay 20%more for a personalized or exclusive product.The good news:modern technology makes it easier to enable product customization and offer a personalized customer experience straight from the product pages.Allowing customers to comb

59、 to choose make furniture shopping a real challenge.This is even more noticeable when it comes to online shopping.The first step toward creating a pleasant product page experience is focusing on high-quality visuals and the zoom feature.When customers cant see or touch a product,the next best thing
60、is to be able to see visuals from different angles and inspect details with a zoom feature.Baymards usability testing shows that 56%of users begin exploring product images as soon as they arrive on the product page.Unfortunately,in many cases,they face low-quality images and an insufficient level of
61、 zoom.According to the same research,low-quality images and images that couldnt be zoomed sufficiently to see product details were a cause of product page abandonment.You cant expect to increase your online sales if you dont show your products in as much detail as possible.The zoom feature mimics th
62、e way consumers would look at a product in a brick-and-mortar store.Research from UPS shows that 70%of users consider the zoom tool as a prime factor when deciding on their purchase.The specific nature of home furnishings makes superior visualization and impeccable zoom even more important.Showing o
63、ff product details in 4K can certainly increase purchase confidence or inspire a showroom visit.The results from our research show that 37 out of the Top 50 DTC furniture brands we analyzed have a zoom feature on their product pages.However,if we look at the quality,only 23 brands have HD zoom.The r
64、est of them have a zoom with a resolution below 1K.Today,when product visualization technology is so advanced,having an HD zoom is a must.This is especially true for DTC furniture brands that are known for the great online shopping experience they offer.Adoption rate46%TOP 50 DTC Furniture Brands 20
65、23-E-commerce Merchandising features adoption and index ranking|page 17360-degree views/3DOnline furniture shopping has advanced significantly in recent years,and the power of 3D product visualization has improved the customers ability to get a better picture of their purchase.An outstanding visual
66、experience is the best way to compensate for the lack of tactile sense.According to Google,people engage 50%more with 3D images of home goods than with static ones.Using 360-degree visuals on your product pages can emulate the“touch-and-feel”experience of shopping in-store.Data from Adobe shows that
67、 91%of individuals want the ability to turn products around in full 360-degree spin.Consumers love interactive shopping experiences.The family-owned luxury furniture brand Monte Design saw a 50%increase in average time on page after implementing customization with 360-degree views on its product pag

70、uch more.According to our research,only 17 of the 50 DTC brands weve analyzed have 3D/360-degree product configurators on their website,leaving the vast majority without this feature.When it comes to additional visuals on the product page,the adoption rate is far better 49 of the Top 50 DTC furnitur

72、a story,there is no better way than using lifestyle imagery.The benefit is not only that you are promoting multiple products at once,but you help customers visualize how the piece of furniture complements the setting.Research from Baymard shows that 42%of users attempt to gauge the overall scale and
73、 size of a product from its product images.By providing in-scale images,you make it easier for customers to get a grasp of the product size.Years of research and discussions with furniture businesses have led us to the conclusion that in-context images are vital for furniture brands,and they invest
74、a lot of time,effort,and resources to get the best possible visuals.The whole process of staging and creating is daunting and requires great organizational skills,attention to detail,and good timing.Today,however,thanks to 3D,creating in-context imagery is much more cost-effective because you dont h
75、ave to transport furniture all around the world for a photoshoot.The best part is that you can show off your products in context and at scale with customizable lifestyle imagery.DTC furniture brands that want to stand out can always go the extra mile and produce engaging user experiences with intera
76、ctive lifestyle imagery where visitors can play with fabrics,materials,and finishes while visualizing the product in context.In all of our previous reports and research,lifestyle imagery was one of the most adopted features.This is the case with the Top 50 DTC furniture brands as well.According to o

78、yCustomer experience has changed quite a bit over the last few years,and so too has the technology required to facilitate it.The rise of augmented reality redefined online furniture shopping.A study by Magna Media Trials found that 85%of respondents said they would be interested in using AR for furn
79、iture shopping.This underscores just how serious augmented reality is becoming.Customers are excited to use this form of mobile engagement to get immersive shopping experiences.Some of the leading furniture players have already introduced AR solutions,allowing customers to insert virtual objects,suc
80、h as sofas,tables,and chairs,into their homes and immediately see how the furniture would look.This way,customers can virtually“try out”furniture,not worrying about bad decisions and removing a huge weight from their shoulders before the big purchase.According to Interior Define,customers that engag
81、e with AR are eight times more likely to convert than customers that choose not to engage.With Google and Apples heavy investments in augmented reality,this technology will become an even more ingrained part of the online experience going forward.Room scanning will be even easier,and the rendering o
82、f 3D assets will become more photoreal.Its safe to say that AR is slowly becoming an inevitable part of the furniture buying process.When it comes to the type of AR experience,web-native AR will be the new normal as mobile AR apps soon become obsolete.Downloading an app just to visualize a piece of
83、furniture,which is not a frequent purchase,asks for too much effort from the customers side,and customers always prefer effortless options.Our research shows that even though augmented reality is one of the hottest topics in the industry,only 13 of the Top 50 DTC furniture brands have implemented an
84、 AR solution.Looking at the type of solution,web-native augmented reality is more popular among DTC brands 12 DTC brands have web AR,and only one has an AR app.It will be interesting to see how web-native AR will influence the adoption rate in the future.Adoption rate24%TOP 50 DTC Furniture Brands 2

87、 for DTC brands to provide user-friendly and well-designed mobile websites.Heres the thing:59%of shoppers say that being able to shop on mobile is important when deciding which brand or retailer to buy from,as reported by Google.Mobile is an integral part of how consumers shop nowadays,from browsing
88、 and research to comparison and purchasing.According to Google,60%of home and garden shoppers use mobile searches for ideas about what to buy before they head into a store.This is why having an exceptional mobile experience is a must for every furniture business,whether traditional or digital-first.
89、According to Statista,more than 50%of all web traffic is coming from mobile devices,which is one more reason to pay extra attention when optimizing for mobile to ensure that visitors who open your site from their mobile devices have a great experience.Theres no doubt that mobile-first will become th

92、nsumers say they trust the reviews they read online as much as personal recommendations.When it comes to big-ticket purchases like furniture,product reviews are even more important.According to eMarketer,when researching an expensive item online,online ratings and reviews were the most common source
93、s respondents consulted,more so than word of mouth,in-store sales associates,or social networks.The importance of reviews cannot be denied not having reviews on your product pages can be a deal-breaker for customers.According to Stackla,58%of consumers have left an e-commerce store without purchasin
94、g because the site didnt contain any customer reviews or photos.On top of that,data from Trustpilot shows that 62%of consumers say they would not buy from brands that censor online reviews.The direct relationship with customers makes DTC brands more exposed to negative reviews.However,you shouldnt w
95、orry about negative reviews too much.The best way to prevent them is to make sure that you offer the highest quality products and delightful customer experiences.Besides this,responding to negative reviews can create positive results.Statistics show that of the customers who received a response from
96、 a company after posting a negative comment,33%turned around and posted a positive review,while 34%deleted the original negative review.More than half(33)of the Top 50 DTC furniture brands from our research have reviews on their product pages.There are some great examples of companies that leverage
97、product reviews and user-generated content across social media,and this should be a best practice for every DTC furniture brand because of the power reviews have on decision-making.This bed is the best investment Ive made for my bedroom!Not only is it stylish,but its also incredibly comfortable.Ive

101、tions account for up to 31%of e-commerce site revenues.Whats more,as reported by Forbes,56%of online shoppers are more likely to return to a website that recommends products.Its no surprise that consumers are more likely to shop with businesses that recognize,remember,and provide them with relevant
102、offers and recommendations.From recently viewed products and products from the same collection to products that go well together and recommendations based on buyers behavior,product recommendations allow brands to personalize their online shopping experience.Besides recommendations on product pages,
103、adding recommendations during the checkout process can help you make an upsell and increase the average order value(AOV)by proposing products compatible with the item that the consumer has added to their shopping cart.According to Barilliance,implementing personalized product recommendations can imp
104、rove cart abandonment by up to 4.35%.Product recommendations have been around for more than two decades.Today,thanks to advances in technology,we are witnessing the rise of personalized,predictive product recommendations.Using AI technology,companies can give product recommendations based on who the

119、products and see how they would fit in their homes.Adding HD zoom to your product pages can show customers the texture of the material up close.But what more can you do to close the circle and create the best possible online shopping experience?Offer fabric swatches.Fabrics are not always two-dimens
120、ional,and in some cases,the texture of a fabric may be just as important as the color itself.Thats why offering swatches is one of the most effective ways to drive interest and boost sales.Consumers are more likely to buy your product if they know what they are getting.While this might be a little c
121、omplicated for furniture retailers,for DTC furniture brands that own the whole manufacturing process,this is a no-brainer.Imagine customers ordering swatches and feeling the fabric,plus using AR to see if the item fits in their home.This closes the online-offline gap and makes shopping for furniture
122、 online the new normal.Its important to note that ordering swatches shouldnt increase the time of the purchasing cycle.If youre offering fabric swatches,make sure to deliver them within a couple of days.Have a process in place and reassure customers that ordering swatches will not prolong the purcha
123、se but rather ease their decision-making process.According to our research,39 of the Top 50 DTC furniture brands offer the option to order swatches.In most cases,they are free of charge.Adoption rate78%TOP 50 DTC Furniture Brands 2023-E-commerce Merchandising features adoption and index ranking|page
124、 26Product page load speedPage load speed needs to be a top priority for all furniture businesses in the upcoming decade.Consumers expect instant gratification,so product pages that take too long to load will eventually hurt your bottom line.Research from Portent shows that the first five seconds of
125、 page load time have the highest impact on conversion rates.Website conversion rates drop by an average of 4.42%with each additional second of load time.Its no secret that page load speed is a deal-breaker for many customers.According to Unbounce,nearly 70%of consumers admit that page speed influenc
126、es their likelihood of buying.Another thing to remember is that todays customers more often browse from their mobile devices,so the page load speed is even more critical.Improving site speed increases progression rates on almost every step of the mobile purchase journey from the homepage to the chec
127、kout for the majority of brands.Decreasing mobile site load times by just one-tenth of a second results in major performance gains.According to Google,a 0.1-second improvement in mobile site speed increases conversion rates by 8.4%for retail.To measure the page load speed and web performance of the
128、Top 50 DTC Furniture Brands,we used Web Page Test(https:/www.webpagetest.org).The results show that 18 of the Top 50 DTC furniture brands have a load speed below five seconds.Eighteen brands have between five and 10 seconds load speed.And for 14 of the analyzed DTC furniture brands,it takes more tha

130、o the brain is visual.As retail is slowly moving to the online world,one of the biggest challenges is how to recreate the visual elements of your products in an online environment in a way that competes with physically viewing products in-store.The right visual elements can help you close the gap be
131、tween a physical product and your online representation of it.Improving the quality of your images can result in a conversion rate that is up to three times higher than that of low-quality images.When it comes to product page visuals,consistency is the key.However,producing the same quality content
132、with product photography is very challenging.Thats why many furniture retailers turn to CGI(computer-generated imagery).Thanks to advanced technology,the level of quality is so high that you wont be able to recognize the difference between a rendering and an actual photograph.Research from Intent La
133、b notes that 59%of consumers believe that visual information is more important than textual information when shopping online.This number is significantly higher for online furniture shopping 85%of customers put more importance on visual information than text information.Companies that want to stay r
134、elevant in the long run have to embrace evolving shopping habits and equip their online stores with capabilities that simplify the path to purchase for online customers.While analyzing the product visuals quality of DTC furniture brands,we took into account the following features:image resolution,sh
135、arpness,lighting,ground shadows,post artifacts,model realism,and material quality.The results from our research show that 36 of the Top 50 DTC furniture brands have high-quality visuals,followed by 12 with medium quality and only two with low product visuals quality.High qualityvisuals72%TOP 50 DTC

137、 a decision about buying a big-ticket item like furniture.Research from Salsify shows that 70%of consumers chose a lack of product information as a reason they left a page on an e-commerce site.When it comes to online furniture shopping,some of the most important product information details are prod
138、uct description,delivery information,and return policy.Product descriptionEven though visuals tell the story in a more appealing and attention-grabbing way,product descriptions are an essential part of every e-commerce furniture product page.Unfortunately,theyre often overlooked.Many DTC furniture b
139、rands underestimate the great opportunity to present the features and the benefits of the product in the best possible way and influence a purchasing decision.Delivery informationDelivery information about cost and speed is a crucial part of every online purchase.This is even more emphasized when pe
140、ople buy big-ticket items.Not adding information about the expected time of delivery or the shipping cost might lead to an abandoned cart.Smart DTC furniture brands add this information on the product page,thus making it easy for customers to decide whether the delivery time and costs fit their expe
141、ctations.Return policyThe first thing that comes to customers minds when shopping online is whether the return process is easy.According to the Baymard Institute,an unsatisfactory return policy is one of the top ten reasons for cart abandonment.Customers need the reassurance that even if they dont l
142、ike the product they bought,theyll be able to return it.Thats why having a simple,transparent,and fair return policy can encourage customers to make the purchase.Looking at the results of our research,we can see that all of the Top 50 DTC furniture brands we analyzed have enough information on their

144、an often turn out to be a stumbling block.Two out of the top five reasons for cart abandonment are related to the checkout process,according to data from Baymard.Not having a guest checkout option(24%)and a lengthy,complicated checkout process(18%)are the two biggest pain points.Nearly 70%of online
145、shopping carts are abandoned.However,this number is significantly higher for the furniture industry.Data from Dynamic Yield shows that in March 2023,the cart abandonment rate in the Home&Furniture category was 80.99%.By optimizing the checkout experience to deliver a straightforward and transparent
146、process,DTC furniture brands can increase their conversions and capitalize on what could otherwise be lost sales.A seamless checkout experience could be the success formula for better conversions.But where do you start?Give customers the chance to choose between registering and guest checkout.Also,f
147、ind a smart way to encourage them to give you their personal information.Offer an incentive or a personalized experience.Another thing that is very important for a pleasant checkout experience is to show an image of the product your visitor is buying in the shopping cart.This way,you will avoid conf
148、usion and reduce the number of returned items due to the wrong color,size,or even the wrong product.Also,dont forget to ask for an email early in the checkout process,no matter if the customer has an account or wants to check out as a guest.Without an email,you cannot launch your abandoned cart emai

151、ving the power of choice,especially when shopping.However,having too many choices often leads to feeling overwhelmed and stuck otherwise known as choice paralysis.According to Zoovu,more than half(54%)of consumers have stopped purchasing products from a brand or retailer website because choosing the
152、 right product was too difficult.In fact,42%admitted to abandoning a planned purchase altogether because there was too much choice.When done right,e-commerce product filtering helps visitors narrow down a selection and find products they might be interested in based on specific features(e.g.,size,co
153、lor,category).Only a small number of visitors that come to your website know exactly what theyre looking for.Having tools like a search bar and product filtering that can help find a specific product will create a pleasant browsing experience and lead them down the purchasing funnel.Unlike brick and
154、 mortar,where customers can ask for a“large right bumper sectional in mauve velvet,”when it comes to online furniture shopping,you have to create an experience that will lead them to the product theyve imagined.Besides adding specific filters for different product categories,make sure to promote imp
155、ortant filters,allow applying multiple filtering values from the same filter type,and truncate filtering values where there are too many options.According to our research,19 of the Top 50 DTC furniture brands have advanced filtering options.This means that more than half of them have average quality
