We offer our customers an extensive range of products,
principally clothing, footwear and homewares.
We are size inclusive, from 10-32 in Womenswear and S to
5XL in Menswear. This means we meet the needs of two
significant but under-served customer groups – size 20-plus
and age 50-plus.
Traditionally a mail order catalogue business, we now see over
60% of demand coming from online, and are changing our
approach accordingly. In order to drive both sales and brand
awareness, we also operate a small store estate in the UK,
focused on key shopping areas.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Current situation: you've all been there, or will be heading there at some point: Site isn't good enough Technically – sites core code built in 1992, more sticking plasters then website. Going through a large-scale migration project meaning there is limited ability for change. Content – anybody that has a large ecommerce site without content issues, my hat is off to you. 120,000+ products, with colour and size variations, indexable across multiple websites, with some supplier integrated / feed content thrown in just because we don’t have enough to deal with That doesn’t even take into account the external feeds from your site going to affiliates (and Amazon *shudder* - make sure you read their T&Cs properly if you like having rights to your life!) Websites built from a single database on a single platform… Personally, you’re not sure how you have avoided penalties and algorithms for so long…
  2. Back when I just started in SEO I used to sit their looking at clients websites, practically crying myself to sleep... I just didn't understand how they could be so behind the times... Over time my eyes got opened and I saw the complications, but it wasn't until the move in house that I truly "understood"
  3. I think getting buy in overall, as a big picture, shouldn't really be an issue anymore - don't get me wrong, I know it is in some places, but I am not going to cover that today; I am assuming the board/management team already know SEO is important, even if it's just "I want to spend less on PPC" (which opens up another whole can of worms for discussion that I'm not going to go into. Despite an understanding that SEO is needed however, I feel there is always a large gap in confidence.
  4. Internal knowledge… the unknown is scary! Knowledge Based Trust: Relies on information rather than fear. It is based on the knowledge that one person has over another. People feel that predictability of behaviour is a stronger trust driver than contracts and legal arrangements. This trust develops over time… and once you’ve gained it you need to work even harder than before to ensure it is maintained!
