Our approach
How we would start
in Melbourne.
- 01
Build for the buyer
Melbourne’s customers love food, coffee and design, and include students, young professionals and a big Indian community in suburbs like Dandenong. The store, its catalogue and its checkout are shaped around them.
- 02
Payments and delivery that work
Checkout set up for how people in Australia pay — cards, Apple Pay and buy-now-pay-later services — with delivery tested before launch.
- 03
Launch before the peak
The Australian Open in January, the Spring Racing Carnival around Melbourne Cup, and the Christmas sales are the key peaks. The store is live and tested well before then.
