Increase in Average Order Value (AOV)

Fieldsheer stands at the intersection of high-performance apparel and cutting-edge technology. Since 1978, the brand has redefined the limits of “smart clothing,” evolving from protective motorcycle gear to becoming a global leader in temperature-controlled apparel.

Their products are sophisticated. Their innovation is unmatched. But their digital storefront wasn’t fully capturing the premium nature of their brand or maximizing conversion opportunities.

When Fieldsheer partnered with Future Holidays, the goal was clear: ensure their digital experience matched the sophistication of their garments. Through strategic UX enhancements and intelligent app integrations, we created a shopping experience that not only reflected their brand’s premium positioning but actively drove conversions and increased order values.

The opportunity: Transform key touchpoints in the customer journey, from collection pages to checkout, into revenue-generating moments without compromising the clean, performance-focused aesthetic that defines Fieldsheer.

The Challenge

Fieldsheer wasn’t broken. They were already a respected name in high-performance apparel with a loyal customer base. But growth requires optimization, and there were untapped opportunities across their digital experience.

What They Needed

  • Strategic checkout enhancements that increased AOV without feeling pushy
  • A bundling solution that encouraged larger purchases while giving customers control
  • Collection page optimization that balanced merchandising with user experience
  • Data-driven decision making to guide every enhancement

This wasn’t about a complete overhaul. It was about surgical improvements at high-impact moments in the customer journey, backed by testing, measured by data, and designed to scale.

AI-Powered Cart Improvements Grow AOV at Checkout

The checkout stage represents the last chance to increase order value before a purchase is complete. It’s also one of the most delicate moments in the customer journey. If you push too hard you risk abandonment; do nothing and you leave money on the table.

The Rebuy Solution

We implemented Rebuy, an AI-powered personalization engine, to deliver intelligent product recommendations at this critical moment. The goal was simple: increase AOV through relevant, non-intrusive suggestions that felt helpful rather than salesy.

Leveraging Rebuy’s capabilities, we added a “Frequently Bought Together” section to the cart drawer. Based on what’s already in the customer’s cart, the system automatically displays complementary products (i.e. gloves that match a jacket, base layers that work with outerwear, accessories that complete the outfit.)

The result? Within just two months, Rebuy boosted AOV by 1.08%, with continued impact on sales and order numbers.

Building Trust at Checkout

Beyond upsells, we addressed another critical element: buyer confidence. Even customers ready to purchase can hesitate at the final moment without clear reassurance.

We added three key trust signals to the cart drawer, cart, and checkout pages:

  • 30 Day Money Back Guarantee
  • 1 Year Product Warranty
  • Free Return Shipping

Each USP was paired with recognizable iconography, making these commitments immediately visible and reinforcing Fieldsheer’s confidence in their products.

Leveraging Bundling to Drive Larger Cart Sizes

Build-A-Box transforms the traditional bundle into an interactive experience. Instead of predetermined packages, customers select their own combination of items and watch their discount grow with each addition.

The Strategy

The tiered discount structure creates a compelling incentive: the more items added, the better the deal.

This approach:

  • Encourages larger cart sizes naturally
  • Gives shoppers flexibility and control over their selections
  • Makes customers feel rewarded for buying more
  • Boosts both AOV and overall store revenue

We didn’t just build the feature; we positioned it strategically. The new Build-A-Box page received top billing in the navigation bar, ensuring maximum visibility and signaling its importance to the shopping experience.

This isn’t a buried promotion or a checkout add-on. It’s a destination shopping experience that gives customers a reason to explore the full product catalog while building their perfect package.

Lifting Conversion Rate with Strategic Merchandising

Before implementing any major site changes, we let data guide our decisions. We had a hypothesis: strategically placed featured sections on collection pages could create additional buying opportunities without disrupting the shopping flow.

But we needed proof.

The Testing Process

Over several weeks, we ran extensive A/B testing on a segment of site traffic, measuring three key metrics:

  • Average Order Value
  • Revenue
  • Conversion Rate

The question: Would additional merchandising on collection pages help or hurt the experience?

The Results

The data was clear. A featured section improved all metrics. Even more compelling: testing revealed that a second banner could amplify the impact.

With a 4.56% conversion rate, the strategically-placed featured sections proved that smart merchandising doesn’t interfere with shopping—it enhances it.

These sections create natural pause points in the browsing experience, highlighting complementary products or seasonal collections without feeling forced or intrusive.

What Changed:

  • Before: Clean collection pages focused solely on product grids
  • After: Enhanced collection pages with strategic featured sections that drive conversions while maintaining user experience

How We Delivered a 12% AOV Increase and a Scalable Growth Foundation

Future Holidays’ focused approach to UX optimization and strategic integrations delivered measurable improvements across Fieldsheer’s digital storefront without compromising the clean, performance-focused aesthetic that defines the brand.

Conversion & Revenue Growth

The AI-powered checkout enhancements and collection page optimizations created multiple revenue-generating touchpoints throughout the customer journey. Rebuy’s personalized recommendations increased AOV by 1.08% within just two months of implementation, with momentum continuing beyond initial rollout. Recently, AOV increased 12% in one month due to ongoing efforts. Collection pages with featured sections achieved a 4.56% conversion rate, proving that strategic merchandising enhances rather than inhibits the shopping experience.

Enhanced Shopping Experience

Beyond the metrics, we created a more intuitive and rewarding path to purchase. The Build-A-Box feature transformed bundling into an interactive experience that puts control in customers’ hands. Trust signals at checkout reduced friction and reinforced Fieldsheer’s confidence in their premium products. Every enhancement was backed by testing, guided by data, and designed to feel natural within the existing experience.

Scalable Foundation

These improvements aren’t just one-time wins, they’re scalable assets. The Rebuy integration continues learning and improving recommendations. The Build-A-Box framework can expand with new product lines. The collection page template provides a proven structure for future merchandising opportunities. Together, they create a foundation for sustained growth that evolves with the brand.

Fieldsheer now has a digital experience that matches their reputation for innovation—transforming every page from product discovery to checkout into an optimized moment that serves both the customer and the business.
