Conversion Optimization for Ecommerce: How to get 50% more conversions

khalid — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 05:41:00 +0000

Increasing conversion rates for ecommerce websites is challenging. If that were not the case, most ecommerce website would report higher conversions rates than the national average of 2.2%. And while more companies are making larger investments in conversion optimization, the process continues to be an art more than science. Yes, there are general principals and frameworks that could be followed to see increases in conversion rates. The problem with most of these frameworks is that they are general in nature. They rely on best practices and ignore the specifics to a particular website, vertical or visitors.

The only way to consistently increase conversion rates is through a scientific and data driven approach mixed with general usability principals. By following this methodology, our team has been able to deliver consistent results above 65% increase in conversion rates in the last two years.

Join our upcoming webinar next Friday (3/11/2011) from 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST while we discuss the 6 general principals online retailers must follow to produce significant increases in their conversion rates.

We will be sharing 3 different case studies for the first time in which our customers have where able to see more than 50% uplift in conversion rates.
