Timeline

3 Weeks, 2021

1.1 Context

72Hours specializes in selling earthquake kits, survival kits, and emergency preparedness products

1.2 Problem

Seniors struggle to purchase emergency kits on 72Hours' website

After moving online, our high-quality, best selling emergency kits drew significant traffic—including seniors, the primary kit buyers. However, their conversions stagnated as many struggled with the online purchase process, leading to a surge in phone inquiries for assistance.

1.3 Goal

Help seniors to find essential purchasing information quickly without overwhelm

Usability tests identified the product detail page as the most problematic: users struggled to add kits to cart due to cluttered layouts, hard-to-locate information, and overwhelming content.

1.4 Solution

Redesign product detail page

The redesign uses strong visuals and minimal text to enhance clarity and reduce cognitive load. A single long page provides intuitive navigation, while a clear information architecture and accessible UI enabled seniors to easily find and understand key information.

1.5 Result

A 60% conversion increase within 3 months

After launching an updated product detail page in November 2021, conversions for the 2-person deluxe emergency kit increased by 60% in the first three months.

1.6 Takeaways

Foresight is key

Every design decision balanced short-term usability with long-term scalability. By anticipating future needs and thinking holistically, the solution not only worked effectively today but also remained adaptable for tomorrow—minimizing developer rework and preventing disruptions to user behavior patterns.
