Should we repeat menu items in the main navigation if they fall into two categories?
I am working on navigation for a retail site. I have a typical account menu (My Account, Sign In, Create Account etc) and I have a main hamburger menu with department pages etc.
The site experience is greatly improved when the customer signs in, so I want to encourage this behavior.
My question is: I have an Account Menu item (My Purchases) in the main hamburger navigation under the title "Popular", I also have an My Account section in the hamburger menu. Should I repeat My Purchases under Popular and My Account in the hamburger menu to match how the separate Account Menu is structured or should I remove My Purchases from the hamburger My Account section because it already appears in another part of the hamburger menu structure.
The structure and two options are below:
Separate Account Menu:
Child 1: My Purchases
Child 2: x
Child 3: x
Option 1:
Hamburger Menu:
Nav Title: Popular
Child 1: My Purchases
Child 2: x
Child 3: x
Nav Title: My Account
Child 1: My Purchases
Child 2: Sign In
Child 3: Create Account
Option 2:
Hamburger Menu:
Nav Title: Popular
Child 1: My Purchases
Child 2: x
Child 3: x
Nav Title: My Account
Child 1: Sign In
Child 2: Create Account
