Gelato Pique sits in a category where product discovery has to feel soft, visual, and considered. The brand's Japanese-designed roomwear and loungewear assortment gives shoppers multiple routes into sets, separates, new arrivals, and seasonal collections. Across a 45-day optimization window, ClickMint tested whether stronger merchandising hierarchy could make that discovery more commercially efficient. The goal was to bring best-selling and high-intent pathways forward without making the shopping experience feel forced.
Gelato Pique shoppers were entering homepage and PLP surfaces with meaningful intent, but several entry points left the product path too open-ended. In a premium comfort category, browsing is part of the experience. Unstructured browsing is where revenue leaks. The central commercial question was not whether shoppers would engage with more navigation. It was whether the right merchandising pathways, presented earlier and with better hierarchy, would increase conversion and revenue quality without disrupting the brand's calm, lifestyle-led experience. That made this less a generic button test and more a sequencing problem: which pathways should appear first, how should best sellers be reinforced, and where does guided discovery help versus dilute purchase intent?
ClickMint ran three experiments across the homepage and high-traffic PLP entry points. The homepage treatment re-sequenced discovery and reinforced new-arrival and best-seller pathways. A loungewear PLP treatment tested benefit-forward best-seller access. A product-type chip treatment tested whether explicit segmentation improved discovery on New Arrivals. Each test was scored against conversion behavior and revenue quality, not surface engagement alone. The portfolio separated three different mechanisms: hierarchy clarity, best-seller reinforcement, and guided segmentation. That distinction mattered. The homepage hierarchy change produced a clean monetization signal. The loungewear PLP reinforcement improved conversion efficiency while preserving revenue quality. The filter-chip concept underperformed in its current form, showing that segmentation only helps when it reduces choice complexity rather than adding another decision layer.
"The strongest signal came from better sequencing: put proven product pathways in front of shoppers earlier, and revenue efficiency improves without selling harder."
The variant outperformed the control across every primary metric. Conversion rate increased roughly 3×. Revenue per session rose 176%. Scroll engagement improved from 12.6% to 14.6%. Observed incremental revenue reached +$4,483 over the test window — annualizing to $18k–$20k at steady traffic, with no added operational complexity. The gains held consistently across the full 13-week window, confirming durable behavioral change rather than a novelty spike. When users can quickly express intent, monetization efficiency increases. The chips didn't change the products. They changed how fast users could find them.
