Episode description

In this Conversion Monthly episode, the team takes on a real-world Amazon fashion listing -- a ladies jumper from Adam Jagger's clothing brand. Adam launched this knitwear product last year with strong initial sales, but the relaunch has stalled despite refreshed images and PPC data. Matt Kostan shares consumer feedback from Product Opinion videos revealing that shoppers found the secondary images too text-heavy and "fast fashion" looking, with inconsistent color rendering across photos. Dorian then presents a complete visual overhaul inspired by Zara's photography style -- low-angle shots, model-camera interaction, and stripped-back secondary images that let the product speak for itself. The result: a 45% improvement in click share during simulated testing, jumping from 11% to 16% against competitors. The episode is packed with actionable advice on fashion-specific listing optimization, the power of "less is more" in secondary images, and why pre-launch polling is essential in design-led categories.
