Twenga Unveils a Revolutionary Experience in Visual Navigation

May 13, 2011 - PRLog -- More added value for online shoppers

To better respond to the demands of online shoppers, Twenga commissioned a study
identifying the key levers influencing choice. These include:
- The ability to browse as many products as possible at a glance, with large visuals;
- The ability to share recommendations and ask questions, using social networks or
email;
- Access to more in-depth product features, zoom images and filter options;
- Clean, clear design, showcasing the products.

Twenga’s new interface is based on this visual, sensory approach, using advanced
proprietary technology to optimise the navigational experience. The photo view has
become bigger and now contains more information. Navigation by filter is instinctive and
seamless, with colour, shape, style, material, product spec and 23,000 other features
identified by Twenga.

The new version includes the social shopping feature launched by Twenga last month. This allows shoppers, in one click, to ask their friends on Facebook, on Twitter or by email,
what they think of a product before buying.

“With this new interface, we have been able to create a modern, user-friendly visual
experience, offering added value to the online shopper; a considerable achievement given
the 380 million products on Twenga sites”, said Gaël de Talhouet, Vice-President
Marketing at Twenga.

Convincing results in the USA

The improved product presentation has had an immediate, positive impact:
“We have already launched the site in the US and the results are convincing. The number
of pages visited and the time spent on the site have both increased dramatically. This is
proof that user experience is enhanced, with a direct boost to sales” Bastien Duclaux said,
CEO and co-founder of Twenga.

“Over the next few days, we will be launching the new interface in all 15 countries in
which Twenga operates. New features will be added progressively, bringing ever greater
user satisfaction,” Bastien Duclaux added.
