Company understanding before the assignment response
Ohora makes salon-quality gel feel visual, approachable and ready for an at-home routine.
Across the three official channels, the brand consistently leads with finished-look imagery, clear product families and practical education. The opportunity for Germany is to preserve that distinctive visual confidence while localising language, trust signals, policies and the purchase journey.

Understanding Ohora
I reviewed Ohora's US and Korean D2C stores and the official USA Instagram to understand how the brand combines seasonal desire, product education and campaign-led merchandising. The observations below shape how I would approach the Germany store.
USA D2C storeCampaign-led discoveryThe USA storefront moves from seasonal campaign imagery into Gel Press-On, Nail Care Polish, Gel Strips, Natural Care and How-to discovery.

Best, new, manicure, pedicure, care and gel formats make a broad catalogue easier to scan.
- Use consistent naming and filters
- Keep mobile discovery shallow
Education & trust
How-to content, reviews, membership and customer-care links reduce uncertainty around an unfamiliar product format.
- Localise usage guidance
- Make policies and support visible
Germany launch implications
A new market needs local language, policy clarity, reliable fulfilment and a measured test-and-learn operating rhythm.
- Validate localisation end to end
- Track friction before scaling spend

Improvement cases
Each case separates the problem, the action I personally took and the outcome I can support.
01
Discovery and catalogue clarity
- Problem
- A growing digital-product catalogue needed consistent grouping, naming and navigation so customers could understand the offer quickly.
- Action
- I organised approximately 50 products into 4 collections, standardised product information and reviewed the storefront path from category to product.
- Outcome
- The store had a clearer browse structure and a repeatable catalogue workflow. The storefront and Admin screenshots document the implemented structure.
02
Digital delivery and cost fit
- Problem
- The store needed reliable digital-file delivery while recurring platform and app costs had to remain proportionate to an early validation stage.
- Action
- I configured Shopify Digital Products, reviewed asset status, evaluated installed apps by operating value and moved part of the broader content operation to self-hosted infrastructure.
- Outcome
- The digital fulfilment workflow became directly manageable in Shopify, while platform and hosting decisions were aligned to the stage of the business.
