Executive Summary
Holloway & Co. has strong brand fundamentals — excellent photography, consistent brand voice, and a healthy review count. However, three compounding friction points are suppressing conversion significantly below industry benchmarks.
The largest single opportunity is mobile load speed: a 4.1-second LCP is causing measurable bounce on mobile (est. 62% of traffic). The second priority is checkout abandonment — the store currently has no email recovery sequence, leaving 79% of initiated carts unrecovered. Third, the absence of a size guide modal is generating avoidable drop-off on the highest-traffic product pages.
Implementing the top 5 fixes from this report requires no new tools or major development — an experienced Shopify developer can complete them in 6–8 hours. Based on monthly traffic of ~48,000 visitors and current AOV of $63, the cumulative CVR lift from all 10 recommendations is estimated at +19–27% relative, or approximately €10,500 in additional monthly revenue.
