Who you're talking to, and the gap between you.
Before we look at what's broken, we need to understand who reads your product pages and what they came for.
02 · 01 — Buyer
Meet Maya,.
She's 60-70% of revenue of your revenue — and your product pages aren't answering her questions.
Maya is a 29-year-old professional living in a rented apartment. She balances a desire for high-end aesthetics with a middle-class budget. As a value-conscious shopper, she relies on IKEA for modern, functional design but feels frustrated by digital friction and logistical hurdles.
Maya, the Urban Nest-Builder
She walks in already thinking:
Unpredictable and high delivery fees for items that require home shipping.
Frequent out-of-stock status for popular design-led collections.
Complicated assembly instructions and perceived poor customer service response for order issues.
What she's trying to do:
Personalize a standardized living space with unique, designer-influenced textiles and decor.
Find durable and safe play-room essentials that align with sustainability values.
Maximize small-space utility through functional and cohesive furniture series.
What pushes her to buy:
Moving into a first home or refreshing a rental space on a budget.
Launch of new limited-edition designer collections or seasonal series.
Seeking safe, washable, and affordable gifts like the soft toy range for children.
Severe Information Asymmetry and Visual Failure
The catalog fails Maya by providing zero visual context or pricing for key items like ANNIKEN or the GULDSPETT series. For a budget-conscious shopper, the absence of pricing prevents financial planning, while the lack of descriptive keywords (using only Swedish names) stops her from finding these items via search. The 'page not found' errors on soft toys create a brand trust deficit that drives her to competitors like Amazon or Wayfair.
To create a better everyday life for the many people.
