PLP and PDP improvements focused on clearer hierarchy, easier browsing, and more confident purchase decisions.


A new rental pre-registration form was implemented across both web and in-store iPad flow. By simplifying the booking process and unifying the system, rental demand increased by 25% during the last season.

Limited-edition collections for Halloween and Christmas were designed and launched as focused campaigns, creating urgency and supporting revenue peaks.

Email campaigns were built to support drops, promotions, and ongoing engagement, strengthening repeat purchases and customer retention.

Visual content for social media and in-store touchpoints helped maintain a consistent brand presence across digital and physical environments.
