A woman might not search for a midi dress. She might be thinking:
“I'm going to a wedding in Italy next month. I want something distinctive, comfortable and under $600.”
OCCASIONWedding guest
BUDGETUnder $600
STYLEDistinctive
NEEDComfort and delivery confidence
A future Aje shopping experience could turn these needs into a curated, shoppable edit.
01
First
Fix search and merchandising
Make search smarter: better synonyms, filters and product tags, and no dead ends.
A search for “wedding dresses” should lead to bridal, wedding guest and occasion pieces, not depend on exact category names.
Report weekly on searches with no results, high demand terms, search exits and products that get little exposure.
Balance relevance, availability, full price potential and performance. How products are uploaded and tagged is key.
02
Next
Introduce occasion led discovery
Create a prominent “What are you dressing for?” experience, on the homepage as well.
Let her explore by occasion, bestsellers, dress code, season, destination, silhouette, colour, fit and budget.
It also helps merchandise a broader range around real customer needs, instead of adding more products to category pages.

03
Then
Test conversational shopping
Introduce an AI assisted stylist that understands natural requests.
It could ask about the occasion, date, preferences, fit, budget and destination, then recommend a styled edit using real stock and delivery information.
For higher value occasions, she can move to a real Aje stylist, virtually or in store.
Structure product data so search engines and AI shopping assistants can read occasions, fabrics, fit and availability.
The conversation
Commercial impact
Higher search conversion, fewer zero result journeys, more products discovered, stronger full price sell through and improved order value.
