What: A thoughtful redesign of all aspect of the cart experience (focused on cart, page, with Wishlist & save for later considerations specifically, separate from checkout).
Why: Beyond the Homepage, the topmost visited page/URL across all brands globally is the cart, with over 11M views in the US, and over 20M globally in FY25 YTD. Users spend an average of 1 minute 2 seconds studying the page, vs. 18 second across our homepages (230% more time). The high level of engagement, and limited historical updates made to the experience make it a prime candidate for an overhaul.
Details: With HOKA 2.0 & Ugg 3.0 mainly focused on general site styling & front-end shopping experiences, the evolution of the cart experience has remained largely static and has the opportunity to incorporate not just elevated styling, but act as a powerful tool for add on purchases and communicating other messaging.
One external example on the potential power of an optimized cart experience comes from a DY Case study on On Running, which highlights that their "cart recommendation widget is On’s top-performing personalization experience based on direct revenue per click". While regional teams are leveraging DY to power in cart / cart pop up rec trays today, the UX/ styling limitations impact their capacity to perform optimally. Read more in the link below.
