1.0.0. Introduction
Ottoman hands is a London based Jewellery brand established in 2009 by Deniz
Gurdal. The brand offers unique handcrafted jewellery made by Turkish artisans with a
modern design aesthetic (Ottoman Hands 2014a). It is an affordable brand with prices
ranging from £15 to £ 215 and according to the website (Ottoman Hands ca. 2014b) has
an extensive online sales distribution through 3rd party retailers such as Asos and
Luxxlab as well as offline stockists such as Topshop and House of Fraser. The designer
collaborates with local gem cutters and artisans in Turkey to produce necklaces,
bracelets, earrings and rings.
This audit will analyse the current online situation of Ottoman Hands, assessing the
online market environment which the brand operates in as well as competition and give
a recommendation based on the problems identified.
2.0.0. Situation review
The stakeholders and target audience of Ottoman Hands will be identified. An analysis
of the brand’s current online presence will be carried out as well as an evaluation of its
online reputation.
2.1.0. Stakeholders and Target Audience
Ottoman Hands is a jewellery brand that targets Females. Females between ages 25 –
34 represent its biggest target audience (Mintel 2014). As all of its stockists are based
in the UK, it targets a UK Female audience. The brand items are designed by Deniz
Gurdal and made by local Turkish gem cutters and artisans. It is sold through stockists
like Asos, John Lewis etc. The list of the stockists can be found in Appendix 1. Apart
from its female customers who are fans of the brand, people who want to buy jewellery
pieces as gifts are also relevant stakeholders. Media outlets such as women’s
magazines, fashion websites and fashion blogs with a female audience also hold a
stake in Ottoman Hands. It also has an active online community on Facebook and other
social media. A graphic representation of the stakeholders is shown in Figure 1.
Page | 4
2.2.0 Current Online Presence
The current online activity of Ottoman Hands includes:
2.2.1. Website:
Ottoman Hands website will be analysed based on usability principles highlighted in
“Don’t make me think” by Krug (2006) and also in regards to its optimisation for search
engines (Search Engine Watch 2013).
Starting with its strengths, the design of the website makes it easy for users to
determine what industry sector the brands is in, due to the images of the ladies wearing
jewellery pieces. The purpose of the website as an e-commerce platform is also in line
with the design, with the top tabs being “About Us”, “Shop Online”, “Press”. Most of the
contents of the website are also self explanatory leaving no room for confusing online
visitors. The design of the website is clear without any visual noise or unnecessary
confusion. Also, shopping for the products are easily within the reach of the users and
are not more than two clicks away, granting users easy access to the products.

Figure 2: Ottoman Hands landing page (Ottoman Hands 2014c)
Regarding its weaknesses, there is no proper structure in the web navigation of the
shopping platform which is used by Ottoman Hands (Krug 2006). For example, a
customer shopping for rings might be shopping for a certain type of ring and would be
unable to filter results which are not needed. No search box has been made available to
ease navigation. Although the site ID is persistent in every page, shopping for items
takes the shopper to a page with a different background colour, and with product
categories spread out as tabs (Figure 3). The different look of the shopping page makes
the page appear to be on a different website and there is no visible verification of the
site’s payment facility which might make shoppers question the level of security of the
website. A utility such as a shopping cart is not visible on the shopping page making it
difficult to view items that have been added to the cart.
Page | 6
Figure 3: Ottoman Hands shopping page (Ottoman Hands 2014d)
The content of the site is not up to date in the following areas:
The facebook plug-in on the ottoman hands website indicates that the brand’s
facebook page has 218 likes (ottoman hands 2014c) while the actual facebook
page shows that the brand has 9694 likes (Facebook 2014).
The copyright notice at the bottom right of the webpage reads 2013 and is not up
to date as 2014 (Ottoman Hands 2014c).
The news section of the website shows tradeshows attended in 2012 without
showing recent ones attended in 2013 or 2014.
Some of the stockists listed on the stockist section are not currently carrying
Ottoman Hands Jewellery (Ottoman Hands 2014a) and some stockists carrying
Ottoman Hands such as John Lewis, are not mentioned on the list.
The lack of up to date content on the website reduces the site credibility and might
make customers doubt the availability of items on the shopping site. There have been
no efforts to convert visitors to the site from lurkers to customers through sign in forms
or registrations. Integration of social media tools with the site such as liking a product or
sharing it on social media are not present on the site. Apart from facebook, Ottoman
Hands’ other social media presence is not mentioned. Customers are unable to give
Page | 7
feedback through methods such as rating a product or giving a review. There is no
addition of the “alt” text to the Image tags on the website which hinders search engine
optimisation (SEO). In conclusion, the website does not seem optimized for search
engines.
The website does not offer a regular e-news letter and incentives such as discounts or
vouchers which could be offered to visitors for signing up are unavailable.
The website’s landing page and shopping page can be seen in Figure 2 and 3
respectively.
2.2.2. Facebook:
The brand’s facebook page currently has 9694 likes on facebook (Facebook 2014a)
with 42 people talking about the page.
Its major strengths include:
The page is regularly updated with images of new products, pictures celebrating
holidays such as Valentine, Easter etc and informing followers of items on sale
on the website. Followers are also updated on upcoming shopping events and
fairs.
The facebook (FB) and Pinterest pages are linked.
People are able to sign up for Ottoman Hands newsletter on its FB page
(Facebook 2014b).
Voucher codes are sometimes shared to followers on FB.
Its weaknesses include:
There is a low level of activity of the FB wall in comparison to the number of
people that like Ottoman Hands page.
2.2.3. Twitter:
Ottoman Hands twitter account was opened in October 2011 and it currently has 1125
followers (Twitter 2014).
Its major strengths include:
Page | 8
It is regularly updated with tweets relating to current events like holidays,
products, retweets of customers, press features.
Tweets with style suggestions on the jewellery pieces are often written with links
to the item’s shopping page on the Ottoman Hands website.
Its weaknesses include:
The interactivity level is low.
2.2.4. Pinterest
Ottoman Hands currently has 50 followers with 11 boards, 245 pins and 89 likes. Its
web address is posted on the profile. It is regularly updated with images on its jewellery
and design inspirations.
2.2.5. Instagram
Ottoman Hands currently has 487 followers on Instagram and has 131 posts so far
(Instagram 2014a). Its facebook, twitter and website address can be found on the
brand’s profile. It is regularly updated with pictures. There is a considerable amount of
Interactivity between the brand and its followers as enquiries by followers are answered.
However, updates on Instagram do not always reflect on the website product page
(Instagram 2014b). This problem is highlighted in enquiries by followers about the
inavailability of the pieces online (Figure 4).

2.3.0. Online Reputation Audit
2.3.1. Search engine rating:
Alexa as well as Google keyword planner was used to generate keywords related to
Ottoman Hands which were then entered in 3 popular search engines in order to
determine its ranking on those sites. The results can be view in appendix 2.
Ottoman Hands has no paid search therefore search results are natural/organic.
Searching for the website using its name “Ottoman Hands” placed it in top positions on
Google, Bing, and Yahoo. However, other related keywords had lower postions on the
search engines. Generic terms such as “Jewellery online” and “Handmade Jewellery”
yielded the lowest ranking results.
2.3.2. Links to site & site traffic:
2390 pages are indexed by search engines (marketing grader 2014); this is a positive
finding because the higher the number of indexed pages, the greater the chance of the
website being found. 21 sites were found linking to the site on Alexa (2014), while
Page | 10
marketing grader (2014) found 24 links. Most of the site links are fashion related
websites and fashion blogs featuring Jewellery pieces by Ottoman Hands.
Regarding the traffic of the site, the website currently has no analytics tool installed
which would be useful to obtain site traffic information (woorank 2014). The website’s
low ranking makes it difficult to obtain useful information through google trends.
However according to woorank(2014), site traffic is estimated to be very low. The
estimated daily unique pageviews per visitor is 5 page views while the estimated daily
time spent on the site per visitor is 1 minute 33 seconds (Alexa 2014).
2.3.3. Online Mentions:
Ottoman Hands currently has 262 online mentions (Social mention 2014). Sentiment
about the brand is mostly neutral and positive, making the ratio of positive to negative
comments 7:1. The top 3 sources of its mentions which can be seen in figure 5 are
photo bucket, YouTube and flickr however Ottoman Hands does not have accounts in
any of these sites. Some of the mentions on photobucket are by customers wearing the
jewellery although there are a considerable number of random images unrelated to the
brand. Mentions on Youtube are completely unrelated to the brand with the search
results being related to subjects like the Ottoman Empire, ottoman furniture and other
aspects of Turkish culture. Flickr mentions are also images of things unrelated to the
jewellery brand.
Figure 5: Sources
Page | 11
Figure 6: Sentiment
This shows poor SEO and that there is a disparity between online mentions and links to
the jewellery brand. Also, the sentiment results calculated on social mention (2014) as
seen in figure 6 may be unrelated to the jewellery brand.
2.4.0. Online Market Environment
2.4.1. Target Audience:
Based on research by Mintel (2014), the main audience for fashion accessories was
found to be 25 to 34 year old females. This audience is followed closely by 15 - 24 year
olds.
2.4.2. Key Figures:
Growth in the jewellery sector has been slow as consumers have prioritised other
areas of spending such as footwear and handbags.
There has been a 1.4% decrease in costume jewellery spend between 2012 and
2013 (Mintel 2014).
The 6% decrease in 15-24-year-olds between 2013 and 2018 will tremendously
affect the fashion accessories sector
Consequently, the 7.5% rise in 25-34-year-olds will have a positive effect on the
market as they have overtaken young people to the biggest buyers of
accessories.
40% of women prefer seeing the item before buying it and 25% like to try it on
meaning they prefer to buy in-store.
Page | 12
2.4.3. Trends:
There is an increasing popularity of costume jewellery among women of all ages
and socio-economic groups as an alternative to fine jewellery particularly for self
purchasing.
Jewellery bought for gifting and bridal purposes have had consistent growth while
self-purchased Jewellery has suffered.
2.4.4. Conclusion:
The growth in 25-34s is positive for the fashion accessories market as this age group
has better earnings and less financial pressures than 18 - 24s, hence it has more
disposable income leftover to spend on fashion accessories. Less emphasis is also
placed on low price and sales/special offers, meaning that Ottoman Hands can seek to
differentiate itself by focusing on other aspects such as trend-led pieces and innovation
(Mintel 2014). Also since a considerable number of women respond positively to better
jewellery display and close-ups, better displays of the jewellery pieces from different
angles as well as images and/or videos of models wearing the pieces would be
beneficial and could help drive online sales on Ottoman Hands (Mintel 2013).
2.4.5. SWOT Analysis:
• Ottoman Hands’ major strengths include its online presence on relevant
platforms such FB, twitter, and having a generally positive public perception of
the brand on social media. The ottoman design aesthetic of the brand is unique
and not common online which makes ottoman hands a niche jewellery brand.
However, the website is not optimised for search engines which prevent it from
being on top results for relevant keyword searches. Lacks of social media
integration to enable online sharing as well as old content on the website are also
weaknesses.
Page | 13
• There are opportunities to sell to 25 – 34 year olds as they are major target
audience for accessories. The brand can also partner with fashion sites and
blogs through affiliate marketing. There is also an opportunity in jewellery bought
for gifting purposes. However there are threats to Ottoman Hands such as the
changing trends in fashion which may affect the brand since the brand has a
particular aesthetic which may not always be in vogue. There are also jewellery
brands such as ottoman jewellery and Sultanesque which are also based on the
same Ottoman artisanship and have designs similar to Ottoman Hands.
The SWOT analysis can be viewed in appendix 4.
2.5.0. Competitive Analysis
Ottoman Hand’s four key competitors include:
Ottoman jewellery
Sultanesque
Orelia
Shourouk
These brands were chosen based on their product offering as well as target audience.
Ottoman jewellery and Sultanesque are both brands that are based on Ottoman
craftsmanship just like Ottoman Hands, while Orelia and Shourouk are also handcrafted
jewellery brands. All four competitors’ target audience are within the 16 – 34 age group.
Although these brands are similar to Ottoman Hands, they vary in their online presence
and activities. An analysis of competitors’ online activities can be seen in Figure 7 and a
detailed examination of their websites can be found in Appendix 3.
Based on the examination of the websites, Ottoman Hands and its main competitors
have been placed on a perceptual map in order to compare the customer age groups as
well as their website usability and design. The perceptual map can be found in Figure 8.

3.0.0. RECOMMENDATION
3.1.0. Conclusion:
It is evident through the SWOT analysis that the biggest weaknesses of Ottoman Hands
lies in the poor functionality of its website as well as low social media engagement.
There are also opportunities to increase its brand awareness through partnerships with
fashion sites and blogs. Hence, its weaknesses will be “countered through exploiting
opportunities which results in an attacking strategy” (Chaffey et al., 2009, p. 223).
The type of digital strategy used by an organisation depends on the nature of the
business (Chaffey et. al., 2009). Since Ottoman Hands website is an e-commerce site,
its main business objective is to increase sales of its products on the website through
acquiring new customers and retaining existing customers. Therefore the site has to be
equipped for its task. After a situational analysis of its online presence, an audit of its
brand reputation and a review of its online marketing & competitive environment, three
key recommendations will be made to meet its business objective and they are:
Improve functionality of the website
Increase engagement with target audience
Co-branding through affiliate sites and blogs
3.2.0. Improve website functionality
This will be done through:
Search engine optimisation:
Keywords and popular search queries should be added to the website’s landing
page in order to increase its visibility in the search engines.
Alt tags should be added to the site images in order to increase search rankings
and drive traffic to the website.
Optimise your page titles including keywords in order to increase its position in
the natural search results
Spend on search engine adwords using popular search engine queries (see
appendix 2).
Page | 16
Buy related domain names such as ottomanhandshop.com, ottomanhands.net,
ottomanhands.co.uk and divert the traffic to Ottoman Hands website.
Better web usability and accessibility:
A “search” button should be included in the shopping page of the website to help
online users navigate the website better.
Product page filters should be enabled for price, name and what’s new (recently
added items) to enhance navigation of the website.
Link to the shopping cart should be added to the page in order to be able to view
items added to the cart.
Links to all of the brand’s social media should be included in the website.
Social media and email sharing buttons should be integrated into the product
pages.
Content on the website which is not up to date should be updated on the website.
3.3.0. Increase engagement with target audience
Website:
Cookies should be used to personalise website content for users by making
product recommendations, showing last viewed items etc.
A signup link for newsletters should be included in the landing page to convert
first time users to loyal customers. Incentives such a 10% discount code for 1st
purchase can also utilised.
Product videos showing models wearing the jewellery items should be embedded
in the website. This would increase engagement with online users and also
improve the website ranking.
Page | 17
Social media: FB, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram
Ottoman Hands customers should be encouraged to post pictures of themselves
on FB, pinterest and instagram wearing the jewellery pieces tagging
“ottomanhands”.
Online competition should be launched on the various social media platforms
asking customers to send in different outfit looks accessorised with Ottoman
Hands pieces. Requirements should also included following the brand on at least
three of its social media platforms. This should increase its number of followers.
Followers should be informed of new items added to the site with product links
included and those items must be available for followers to buy on the website.
Creating a YouTube channel:
Video content through YouTube allows the brand to show the pieces being worn
on models which can be easily embedded on the website.
It is also an avenue for styling tips, trends and new items and collections to be
viewed and shared, increasing engagement with the customers.
3.4.0. Co-branding through affiliate sites and blogs
Analysis of linked pages (marketing grader 2014) showed that the brands links were
mostly fashion related sites and blogs featuring the brands jewellery pieces.
Collaboration with these sites and blogs will increase product sales as affiliate links will
be embedded on the sites directing users to purchase the featured jewellery pieces on
Ottoman Hands shopping page.
Page | 18
4.0.0. MONITORING AND CRISIS PLANNING
Time is required to not only implement these recommendations, but also for
noticeable growth and improvement to take place for the brand.
SEO should be monitored using Google analytics, a timed schedule should be
created with a dedicated online marketing professional assigned to monitor the
progress of site ranking, search queries etc and also to make sure that the
brand’s marketing message is consistent across all online platforms.
All online mentions should be monitored regularly using tools such as Trackur or
social mention.
Unfortunately, increase in engagement with users also increases the risk of a
social media crisis. Hence, a crisis communications plan should be developed
ahead as it is very vital in such situations, for the brand management to act
quickly and appropriately.
