In this blog post I will be discussing Calvin Kleins website. Calvin Klein started their online website in December of 2014 and was operating in over 20 countries by the end of 2016. also in 2015 they launched their “mycavlvins” campaign. The landing page of Calvin Klein’s website is very effective. This is due to the top section of the page reading that members get 20% off when they spend £45 or more on selected items. It also says that there is a time limit on this giving those who view the website more of an urge to do it before the time runs out, boosting Calvin Klein members and sales. Also, on the front page of the website there is a repeating video of the singer, Bad Bunny, a celebrity who recently went viral on social media because of his campaign with the brand. This in turn could’ve potentially boosted the brands sales and the singer’s popularity. Bad Bunny also has a strong influence in pop culture and power in influencing fans of his to shop the Calvin Klein brand. Calvin Klein also frequently advertise any sales they have in their landing page, this is very effective as many people may be steered away from purchasing from the brand due to it being pricey so customers may be more likely to purchase what they know is high quality clothing at a discounted price.
The website also has straight forward links to shop either men’s or women’s clothing, meaning it is straight forward for customers.
The entirety of the website is also in Calvin Klein’s brand identifying colours, black and white. This creates a sleek and chic appearance for the website, making it not overwhelming for customers and maintaining a modern look, something in which Calvin Klein is known for.
However, there are improvements that could be made on the website to increase interaction and conversion of customers. Firstly, at the first look at the front page of the website it only has one picture of clothing and it does not look eye-catching, I feel it would be more effective in advertising if there were more pictures to highlight the diverse range of clothing that Calvin Klein offers
Another improvement that could be made is that there is an offer on which states customers can get 15% off, early access to sales and 10% off their next order if they sign up. However this is at the bottom of the landing page which many customers may not see so I would say if that was higher up on the page, it would be more eye catching for customers and would increase conversion rates.
Measuring conversion rates are very important for brands as it enables them to see how successful their campaigns are and allows then to gain any feedback from consumers on how effective their campaigns are. it also shows the brands growth and if they are gaining or losing success. Finally it shows what campaigns speak to customers the most and which ones they feel the most engaged to.
