Catalog optimization
Faire catalog
optimization.
Catalogue optimization — catalog optimization in American spelling; the same discipline either way — is the structural layer above individual listings. It governs what you range, how those products group into orderable assortments, where your price tiers sit, and which products carry the weight of discovery. A catalogue can be full of good products and still be unbuyable.
What the work covers
Range planning
Breadth without logic reads as uncertainty. We assess the catalogue against view volume, conversion and reorder data, then decide what to lead with, what to keep, what to consolidate and what to retire.
Assortment architecture
Collections should mirror how a retail buyer plans an order — by category, season, shelf story or price tier — rather than by internal production batches. This is what turns browsing into a basket.
Price-tier coverage
Most wholesale catalogues need an accessible entry product, a core margin driver and a statement piece. Gaps in that ladder cost orders from buyers with a fixed opening budget.
Duplication and cannibalisation
Near-identical listings split relevance in Faire search and confuse the buyer at the same time. We consolidate or differentiate them so each listing has one search job and one commercial job.
Depth where it pays
Product listing optimization is applied hardest to the products that already earn views. Effort spread evenly across a catalogue produces evenly invisible results.
