A globally recognised denim brand with international scale and very size-complex product ranges.
Conversion was underwhelming and returns were high - especially in jeans, where multiple sizing variables (waist, leg length, leg opening, finish) created friction. Buying behaviour varied significantly across markets, but the brand’s messaging didn’t.
• Analysed shopper behaviour in 14 global markets - from Shanghai to San Francisco
• Identified key differences in how customers browse, compare, and commit
• Helped the brand tailor fit communication by region to improve buyer confidence
• Improved how size complexity was messaged on-site to reduce return risk
✅ Conversion in jeans category increased by 8–16% across key markets
✅ Returns dropped by an average of 17%
✅ Enabled localisation without overhauling product or operations
