Orient, Seiko Epson Corporation
Crafting a Luxury Digital E-commerce Experience
At Arbana, our mission is to revolutionize the shopping experience for individuals in India.
About
Orient, a Seiko Epson corporation, is a Japanese maker of high-quality mechanical watches. With a strong presence in Tier 1 cities in India, Orient was seeking to expand its presence to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities through digital e-commerce. They faced the critical challenge of delivering a luxury watch-buying experience without a physical retail presence in these cities.
Key Challanges
Limited Market Presence – Orient was available in select multi-brand watch stores in Tier 1 cities, resulting in limited accessibility and awareness for customers from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities hampering the growth and expansion plans of the brand in India.
Delivering a Luxurious Experience – Orient faced the challenge of translating the tactile and premium feel of a luxury watch purchase into a complete digital setting.
Building Trust – The company struggled with overcoming skepticism associated with high-value online purchases
To establish a consistent and compelling CX strategy, Orient needed a solution that could translate the luxury watch buying experience into a digital one.
Our Solutions
De.SHA Design Lab developed a CX strategy focused on trust, immersion, and personalization, ensuring customers felt confident and engaged throughout their digital journey.
Understanding the Customer - We conducted customer profiling to identify key buyer segments, including watch collectors, first-time luxury buyers, and gift purchasers. Studied customer behavior and concerns related to online luxury purchases to address potential friction points.
Customer Journey Mapping - By mapping the entire digital shopping journey we identified critical touchpoints where trust-building and product education were most impactful. We integrated high-value content such as expert guides, detailed product storytelling, and reviews to ease decision-making.
Digital Experience Design - We developed an intuitive and high-end e-commerce interface that mirrored the exclusivity of an in-store luxury shopping experience. With a strong focus on aesthetics, micro-interactions, and immersive content to enhance engagement and showcase craftsmanship.
Unique Digital Touchpoints - Online live consultation with a watch expert providing customers personalised assistance addressing queries, viewing watches up-close, comparing styles and understanding technical details.
Packaging Design - Created a luxurious unboxing experience to reinforce exclusivity and premium positioning. Included a personalized welcome note, authentication details, and care instructions to deepen emotional connection with the brand.
