Contextual Inquiry
- Female-identifying, 18–28, mostly students or early-career
- Interested in self-improvement, lifestyle branding, and sustainable fashion
- Follows ENPACK on social, but unsure if product is worth the investment
Pain Points
Key Takeaways
1. Pretty, but generic
💡 Clarify unique value & brand image
“I love the vibe, but I couldn’t really tell if it’s just another Pinterest-y bag brand. What makes ENPACK special?”
Many responded positively to the site’s visuals and tone, but struggled to grasp what ENPACK offers beyond aesthetics.
- ENPACK sin’t selling a good product, it’s selling a lifestyle and new persona of confidence, self appreciation to the customer.
- Emphasize the emotional & functional value that separates ENPACK from competitors.
2. The blend of lifestyle storytelling and ecommerce wasn’t clearly signposted.
💡 Consistency and separation
“It took me a while to figure out where to find the products.”
Users sometimes mistook content for products. The blend of products and blogs made the site hard to navigate.
- Create more distinct sections with clear CTAs.
- Use consistent UI patterns for “shop now,” and separate editorial content from conversion touchpoints
3. Tone disconnect between social and site
💡 Make more personal
“The Instagram gives me a much better feel of the brand’s quirky, fun, creative vibe.”
Users felt more connected through ENPACK’s social presence (reels, posts), but the site itself didn’t fully capture that warm, affirming, big-sister energy.
- Add playful colors, responsive features
