Star Wars? Construction Toy?
Model?
Card sorting was used to group 100 shop products firstly in categories they could name and then into pre-defined categories.
Lego?
Star Wars? Construction Toy?
Model?
Even for just one toy, many possible category answers appeared
“If I get her cool stuff, she thinks I’m a cool dad”
John Dexter

reviews.
“It’s not whether I can afford it, its
whether I can afford NOT to have it”

Other Online ‘Toy’ Shops
Today, there are two camps of competitors, even though John and Dexter are looking sort of for the same thing, they might go to completely different sites.
The Specialist’s Market
Dexter
The 2015 re-release
collectors edition
The specialist’s market caters to people like Dexter. They expect some familiarity with the lingo and maybe specialist knowledge in a particular brand.

Steer customers towards most popular brands
“The Biggest Little Toy Store”
Header navigation has 15 product categories grouped into 3 sections. Picture examples to denote sections tested better than named sections or alphabetical.

“This is the Toy you’re looking for”

Smart filter at the top act like the toys assistant guiding user to most popular sub-categories.
5
“This is the Toy you’re looking for”
OR Collapsable filtering menus allow user to drill down to specific criteria themselves
6
Multiple product images and one video provide user with different angles and views. Complimented by a range of ‘conditions’ for each item, especially important for vintage products
7
Product description focuses not only on the specs of the toy, but where it was sourced from and any heritage. Also includes personal story and name of the curator. Builds upon the importance of story, as per the 2009 Significant Objects experiment on eBay.
8“I’m always sending things to the wrong
address”
Usability testing found people wanted double confirmation on orders and that repeating information at bottom of the checkout page didn’t stop people scrolling to check details.
Thank you and surprise. A new video featuring the product the customer has just bought.
9
Returns and help prominently included in site and as part of checkout process increases trust in the brand and directly resolves common pain point customer’s had about difficult returns.
