Merchandising
Problem
Holland America Line’s Homepage had underperforming, outdated below-the-fold content—not to mention almost-as-tired content for core products across multiple markets.
The user experience was unclear, and there was no framework to take advantage of forthcoming personalization efforts.
Solution
Starting with updating the existing homepage content and eventually adding in different sections for brand and product content.
Then, using insights gathered from analytics (below), I revamped the homepage layout and created new content for each section.
Result
Homepage to booking increased ~18%
Tile engagement increased up to 50x
Who I worked with
Product managers, designers, engineers, as well as analytics, sales, marketing, and legal teams
What I’d Change
Use data to advocate for slimming down the amount of content.




Analytics
problem
Homepage and promotion pages had little to no analytics information.
solution
A robust analytics dashboards for the homepage, as well as flexible dashboards that could be adjusted by promotion and product. These highlighted page, section, and component performance.
Result
These dashboards helped increase homepage booking (18%) and tile engagement (up to 50x).
Who I worked with
Product owners, analytics team
What I’d change
Make the dashboards a bit more modular, easier to access, and provide different levels of insights depending on stakeholders.
