Unlocking App Growth for LUSH with Potato Radar
Summary
Confronted with a diverse range of ideas and strategies for app development, LUSH turned to Potato's expertise by undergoing a thorough Potato Radar evaluation. This assessment not only pinpointed LUSH's product strengths but also offered strategic guidance, bringing clarity to LUSH's product roadmap.
Challenge
Since opening their doors nearly 30 years ago, LUSH has been a trailblazer in the cosmetics industry, fusing innovation with a strong commitment to ethical practices.
While LUSH has firmly established their footprint in web-based e-commerce, the team set out to enhance customer engagement and foster advocacy through their dedicated mobile app.
As a category leader, the LUSH in-house design and engineering teams weren’t short of creative concepts for their developmental roadmap.
Strategically aligning these ideas with their user needs demanded a thoughtful and strategic approach to identify the most impactful enhancements for the app, ensuring LUSH continued to resonate with their target audience.

Approach
LUSH sought Potato’s expertise to navigate the confluence of diverse ideas using Potato Radar, our in-house framework for heuristic product evaluation. Potato Radar combines user-focused product behaviour insights, lightweight accessibility compliance checks, and other product-level focus zones to provide a holistic audit. Our team evaluation provides a solid foundation to guide growth efforts, ensuring product teams can focus on areas that make the most impact.
Our Product and Design experts conducted an in-depth evaluation of the LUSH mobile app across 12 dimensions, including Product Quality, First Impressions, Task Orientation, Navigation & IA, Forms & Data Entry, Trust & Credibility, Content Quality, Page Layout & Visual Design, Search, Messages, Accessibility, and Sustainability.
The results and findings were then consolidated into an actionable report. The evaluation scores revealed both the app's strengths and areas requiring enhancement, offering insights toward building a roadmap for positive change, so that more customers could benefit from the LUSH app, more often.
