Our approach
How we would start
in London.
- 01
Build for the buyer
London’s buyers are residents of many backgrounds, office workers, and visitors, and they compare reviews and prices online before choosing almost anything. The store, its catalogue and its checkout are shaped around them.
- 02
Payments and delivery that work
Checkout set up for how people in the United Kingdom pay — cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and buy-now-pay-later services — with delivery tested before launch.
- 03
Launch before the peak
Black Friday and Christmas are the biggest retail peak, the January sales follow, and summer brings the most tourists. The store is live and tested well before then.
