LEADING THE OPTIMISATION PROCESS
customer-centred ⬝ data-informed ⬝ process-driven
The majority of our work together follows one of two common briefs:
‘The traffic’s good, we’re concerned about escalating acquisition costs and low conversion rates’‘.
or
‘The conversions are healthy, we know there’s still room for improvement as we scale up and increase AOV’‘.
The route we take, client by client, is always different.
The vast majority of our work focuses upon three key aspects. The data, the technology and the human touch.
Typically, our work together takes place across:
CUSTOMER INSIGHT: Gathering key data to understand potential conversion roadblocks
MARKETING TECHNOLOGY: Deciding the most appropriate tech that will aid your conversion process
ACTIONABLE DATA: Making sure Google Analytics is providing the correct information to work with
REMOVING CONVERSION ROADBLOCKS: Actioning the quick wins
A/B TESTING PROCESS: Understanding why, what and where we can test response rates.
DRIVING LIST GROWTH: A/B testing messaging, timing and personalisation
REDUCING ABANDONED CARTS: Optimising automated flows using customer and product data to personalise messaging
IMPROVING PRODUCT PAGE LAYOUT: Giving people easy access to the information they need
COPYWRITING FOR CONVERSION: Building trust, removing anxiety and writing persuasive copy with absolute clarity
PERSONALISATION: Managing a process that delivers a truly personalised shopping experience based upon data and customer behaviour
EDUCATING VISITORS: Using Email sequences to empower customers
ESTABLISHING TRUST & EASING ANXIETY: Social proofing your website
EMAIL SEGMENTATION & FUNNEL AUTOMATIONS: Building, testing and optimising new flows using email and messenger to drive profitable sales
The list goes on. You get the picture.
When necessary, I can introduce trusted freelance developers, ecommerce copywriters, designers and data analysts to offer you a full CRO service to collaborate with your in-house team.
The work we have done together has seen our online business go from strength to strength driving more traffic to our website and yet reducing our cost per conversion.
20 years learning what motivates people to buy
My time in the ecommerce marketing world has been split between roles as an employer, employee and consultant;
- My career in digital marketing began in 1996 as Head of Marketing for one of the UK’s first pure eCommerce businesses.
- For 4 years I was the European Marketing Director for the world’s largest travel company.
- Launching my own retail startup which grew to £2m turnover in 3 years.
For the past 10 years I’ve dedicated my time to building my optimisation consultancy, Ecommerce Growth Co. Working on short and long term projects holding a high level of accountability to profitable revenue growth and website optimisation for online retailers and direct-to-consumer brands.
The focus has always been on how we motivate people to take the actions that help grow revenue. The win/win.
I’ve worked as a CRO specialist with over 200 ecommerce clients. Fulfilling a wide variety of roles in an ever widening variety of markets. My work takes place alongside retail companies, direct-to-consumer startups and established brands alike.
It’s also what keeps you on your toes. It’s what ensures you never stop learning in this ever changing digital sales environment.
For my clients I provide a wealth of ecommerce marketing experience dating back to 1996. The days before Google. Remember them?
