Rue La La’s Hypothesis
The Time Economy
In the digital economy the limiting factor is not money – the limiting factor is time and
attention.
At Rue La La, the question of time comes down to the 4 hour window between 11 am and 3 pm
- the time when the day’s curated, “boutique,” opens and the 48 hour life span of a sale begins.
The challenge is to create reasons for customers to visit the site or check the app during the
other 20 hours of a day.
INSIGHT
We’re fixated on getting customers’ attention. I want to capture more of those time
slices you have each day. If we inspire you, if we get you interested, you will buy
Rue La La, CEO

By increasing time on site by 16%, conversion
rates ramp up 10%. Pages per session also
correlated solidly with revenue growth.
