The results could not be more satisfying.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Hobbycraft is a leading chain of craftstores that first opened in 1995. Today, the retailer has over 80 superstores that are predominantly located in retail parks across the UK, and it also operates a substantial ecommerce operation. The art and craft sector has undergone a renaissance in the current economic climate, as people turn to more DIY\u00a0hobbies and home-based leisure activities. Hobbycraft wanted to capitalise on this renewed interest by ensuring that its online store delivered the best possible shopper experience.<\/p>\n<h2>Seamless customer experience for pros and novices<\/h2>\n<p>The Hobbycraft product range incorporates thousands of different products, from general art supplies, such as pens and paper, through to more specialist tools and items for hobbies like kitchen craft and jewellery making.<br \/>\nHobbycraft turned to FACT-Finder to help enhance the shopper experience with the application of its Search and Navigation technologies, which enable users to enjoy a more intuitive search functionality that accounts for spelling mistakes and partial search terms as well as creating more logical and user-friendly product navigation. This is especially important as Hobbycraft supplies both experienced artists and complete novices, who may have less familiarity with the products on offer.<br \/>\n\u201cThe aim of any successful online business is to convert as many visitors into buyers as possible. One crucial element in this process is to lead visitors quickly and conveniently to the products they are looking for through search and navigation,\u201d says Marino Casucci, FACT-Finder\u2019s International Sales Director. \u201cIn order to achieve this, vendors need to focus on usability and navigation to ensure shoppers feel understood and that the shopping experience is smooth and satisfying, leading to a purchase in the end.\u201dMarino continues: \u201cIn order to lead customers quickly to their desired products, shoppers must get the same relevant results and filtering options through a site\u2019s navigation as they do through search to create a smooth, seamless experience. Although browsing is often less focused than searching, customers still want an easy route to the products they are interested in. Structured information will lead to relevant products, making a purchase morelikely. And with Hobbycraft offering such a wide range of products and catering to such a diverse audience this is extremely important to help drive conversion.\u201d<br \/>\nAs part of its offering, the FACT-Finder Customer Excellence Programme gave Hobbycraft the added bonus of analysing the success of its online shop, through systematic analysis and site-reviews to deliver meaningful reports with recommendations concerning all areas of search and navigation. The Hobbycraft team were also trained through the Customer Excellence Programme to ensure that they are able to take the most important measures themselves in order to optimise configuration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fact-finder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/02_Suggest.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3129 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fact-finder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/02_Suggest.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fact-finder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/02_Suggest.png 800w, https:\/\/www.fact-finder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/02_Suggest-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fact-finder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/02_Suggest-768x492.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Fast orientation aid for more conversion: After entering the first few letters in the search field, FACT-Finder displays suitable product and search suggestions &#8211; even if customers make a mistake.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Results outweighed expectations<\/h2>\n<p>Improved navigation created a more rewarding shopper experience for users of all skill levels, providing a useful guide for novices without frustrating more experienced shoppers.<br \/>\nSince launching FACT-Finder, Hobbycraft\u2019s conversion rate from site search has increased 170% (between March 2013 \u2013 January 2014).Speaking on the long-term partnership with FACT-Finder, Mike Thomas, IT Director at Hobbycraft, says: \u201cBeing involved with the FACT-Finder Customer Excellence Programme is already delivering benefits, with our colleagues gaining a better understanding of how our online shop works and how its performance capabilities can be increased.
