What is Omnichannel Retail? Past. Present. Future.Mihai Dragan
Omnichannel retail allows traditional retailers to connect their existing channels such as brick and mortar or call centers to digital channels - online store, mobile app, social shopping channels and others.
This presentation focuses on how this came to be, what are the bottlenecks in implementing omnichannel retail and why should retailers switch to this new approach.
Probably the most compelling reasons to adapt to omnichannel retailing are today's customer demands. The customer wants 24/7 service and the same experience on all sales channels, whether it is the offline store, the mobile app or the brick and mortar outlet.

Omni-channel in Retail. Lessons for the automotive industryIgnitionOne
Gino Van Ossel, Professor Retail & Consumer Goods Center Vlerick Business School, presentation in omni-channel retail from the IgnitionOne European Automotive Summit, June 2014
Who wins in an environment where stores are not only physical, but, both physical and digital, and anybody can set up a store front very easily.
Where the role of the retailer of the future is not merely delivering product to the shelf, but will include pricing, picking, and delivering product right to the household.
eCommerce appetite and adoption is at an all-time high.
If there was ever any uncertainty as to whether there was sufficient demand for grocery eCommerce, new research has put an end to any doubts, and has provided answers to the question that’s currently top of all retailers’ minds: Should we be selling our products online?
Mercatus has released the results from a survey conducted in the first quarter of 2016 in a brand new report entitled “Insights into Grocery eCommerce 2016”.
Among the key findings in the report:
Your customers, regardless of age, are online, consider themselves to be technologically savvy, and are making more digital purchases than ever before.
Consumers are willing to order groceries from locations other than their favorite store for the convenience of click-and-collect shopping.
How are consumer shopping habits changing?
How is changing consumer behaviour affecting global retail?
How can retailers understand and profit from the new customer?
This report helps illuminate the radical
changes reshaping retail as shoppers,
chastened by the recession and empowered with technology, think differently about what
and how they purchase. Here are just three
of many critical considerations:
First, brand is a prerequisite of retail
success. How retailers build their brands
impacts all aspects of their business.

DTC Tactics For The Wine Industry
Emerging technologies make a habit of drastically altering the ways in which people shop, consume media, and interact with each other and the world. Staying ahead of the consumer direct game is exhausting, even for the most savvy of digital marketers. For any sector, from mobile games to the wine industry, how can you know which practices will become real trends and which will become fads? Which provide opportunities for DTC marketers to innovate and get closer to consumers? How can brands tap into these developments to gain deeper understandings of who their customers are and what they want?
As digital technology continues to evolve, so do the channels by which businesses can reach customers all over the world. This presentation covers some of the basic methods:
• Display Advertising
• Search Engine Marketing (SEM)
• Affiliate Marketing
• Mobile Marketing
• Email Marketing
• Social Media Marketing
All of these digital channels call for a much more targeted and interactive approach than traditional marketing. By choosing a primary content platform and engaging customers with a consistent stream of high-quality content, businesses of any size can achieve digital marketing success - both in their local market and globally.
This presentation was created to outline a strategic approach for a new Wine Cellar website offering a nationwide home delivery and click and collect service on a limited budget.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

THE TRUTH IS, ITS HARD. VERY HARD.
It is hard to capture the essence of your brand online. This is everyone’s
challenge.
Visitors are exposed to a number of stimuli that help frame their experience at
your winery. They breathe fresh warm air that blows across the valley floor as
they enjoy expansive views, marvel at architectural details, and soak in the
overall ambiance of your tasting room during their visit. All of these things help
engage and interest them.

Top 5 Reasons
• Magic: Wine is approximately 85% water, and 15% magic.
• Stories worth reading: There may be stories worth telling in the winery DNA, but they are
rarely found on winery websites.
• Differentiators : Why do so many winery websites look alike? Most winery websites look
like cookie cutters of most other winery websites on a gallery wall.
• What’s in it for me: As a consumer, there is no compelling reason I should care about the
brand, the user experience, or why I should stay browsing on the site. It’s all about “them”.
• Mobility: Recent national all industry data shows that only 45% of website traffic now
occurs on a desktop computer. Yet most winery sites give a poor mobile user experience.

do with creating a great visual palate and making me care
about the brand online. It needs to be relevant to my life,
not just the vintner’s.”

112. 112Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
STEP 1
Identify Social Media Platforms
It is critical to know your audience. Do they want to see pictures? Use Instagram. Do they want
behind the scenes video? Use YouTube. Do they want to read about the day to day operations of
the winery? Use LinkedIn.
Each social platform continues to become more and more content specific. Understanding
what your audience wants to consume will lead you down the right path to selecting the right
social platform for your content.
*Mistakes Wineries Make – Taking on too many platforms before they are ready. Content
takes time to generate. It is much better to master 1-2 platforms than to be mediocre on 5-6.
115. 115Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
WHAT IS THE MOST RELEVANT?
Marketers want to learn most about
Facebook: While 93% of marketers are
using Facebook, 68% want to learn more
about it and 62% plan on increasing
Facebook activities.
116. 116Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
STEP 2
Define The Content Mix
A strategy is only effective if the content is compelling. The content may be the same
but should be delivered differently depending on the platform.
(Ex - #WineWendnesday) Relevant on Twitter and Instagram, but almost considered a
nuisance on Facebook.
118. 118Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
STEP 3
Organize and Plan Your Content
Take the necessary time to organize and plan content. Many businesses start well
but fail to remain consistent. If the content delivery slows, becomes sporadic or
stops, your social media strategy becomes stale and your audience will too.
Stay consistent by planning content ahead of time. I recommend two tools to
assist in this:
1. A Simple Content Posting Calendar
2. Automated Posting/Monitoring Services
121. 121Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
STEP 4
Use High Quality Photos
The difference between an average picture and a great one can sometimes
boil down to two words, “Crop” and “Enhance”.
So you don’t have a full time graphic designer at your fingertips. No problem!
Most smart phones have the ability to take average photos and make them great.
Take the time to know how to perform those two simple functions on your phone
and make your pictures more impactful when you post.

If You Do Not Pay to Advertise on
Facebook, It Is Estimated That You Only
Reach 3-5% of Your Fan Base
Forbes.com
125. 125Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
STEP 6
Test and Track Your Stats
Social media platforms and automated services are not always perfect. Follow up
posts by double-checking that the message(s) intended for that day on the
platform it was intended for. Verify that the links contained actually work. Take
note of the amount of time it takes to load images and videos. Also, record any
comments that are generated by a particular post. This will give you immediate
feedback as to what might be working.

SOCIAL MARKETING METRICS
*Monitoring your reach allows you to understand the average
Performance of a post and clearly see when a post goes viral.

•The User's Search or Query - This is the thing a searcher
types in. In the example above, someone is looking for
information or products relating to Apple computers.
•Organic SERP Listings - These are the "natural" listings. To
produce these results, Google uses a series of metrics to ensure
that your site is relevant. To have your site show here, you have
to effectively "score well" on that algorithmic test.
•Paid SERP Listings - These are advertisements, or "sponsored
links." You can have your ad displayed here by launching a pay-
per-click search campaign, and by ensuring that your maximum
CPC bids and Quality Score allow you to secure a high enough
ad position for the keyword you're targeting.
SERP Basics – 3 Key Components
177. 177Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
Why Do SERPs Matter to Me?
Because ranking your site in the proper SERP position will be the difference
between success and failure in your search marketing campaigns. Consider
the following insights provided by recent Google published stats:
• 68% of searchers select a result on the first page of search results.
• There is a disproportionate number of clicks (approximately 40%) on the
number one listing.
• Reaching the first page in paid search is equally important.
• In other words, most people click on the first page, and most
of those people click on earlier results. The higher your search engine
results page ranking, the more traffic you'll get.
178. 178Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
How to Improve Your SERP Positions
• Research Key words
• Organize (group) the keywords
• Manage your SEO workflow
• Manage your PPC workflow
• Act on the analytics
• Observe the results
• Repeat!

Your Website is a Marketing Tool
3 Traffic Sources you must cultivate:
Organic search engines.
Referral sites, especially from local regional

Local maps search results.
Varietals
•Cabernet, Rose, Muscat
Regional
•Carneros, Willamette, Rutherford
Others
•Wine tasting/tours
•Weddings
•Boutique
Build a relevant list of keywords
• Your website should be a flytrap for tourists looking to plan their vacation, or visit that special
winery with a picnic area, great view, or wedding venue.
• Create a list of keywords that you can associate that go beyond your brand name.
Branded search traffic accounts for about 95% of most winery websites traffic.
181. 181Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
Focus on Local SEO T0 Attract More Visitors
When you do a search for "your region" + "winery" does your website appear in the maps area? This is the "Places" results, and these search
results differ from regular organic search results in that they appear for people located very close to your business. They want to find you, but are
you listed high enough?
In order to rank well in the local search results, you need a two things.
A verified Google+ Local page for your business. www.Google.com/places. Multiple NAP (name, address, phone) listings on site like
citysearch.com, yp.com, hotfrog.com and others. For a more complete list of sources to get business citations, visit Getlisted.

Final Words on Engagement…….
“Don’t just focus on your product. Think about who your
customers are, what they care about, and where they
hang out. Embracing and engaging with your customers
means understanding them, their needs and desires.
The goal is to become part of your customers’ everyday
lives, not just a company at the other end of a financial
transaction.”

2. Present the opportunity to sign up on every page on your site, and in
the same spot.
3. Try to show an actual sign-up form on each page instead of just a link.
4. A one-time pop-up requesting visitors to sign up is okay.

marketing as a better return on investment.
• Better than SEM, content marketing, social media, offline

What to Do
Response from Winery Owner:
“Hi Ron:
I appreciate you bringing this issue to my
attention. Apparently, our team is not aware of
the compliance infraction nor the potential

moving forward avoid doing this again in the

What is Cart Abandonment?
“Shopping cart abandonment — when shoppers
put items in their online shopping carts, but then
leave before completing the purchase — is the
bane of the online retail industry, and that
includes the wine industry.”
BusinessInsider.com
264. 264Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
Here’s Why
• Approximately $4 Trillion worth of merchandise will be abandoned in
online shopping carts this year = approximately 68% of all shopping
cart transactions
• 63% of these are potentially recoverable, according to BI Intelligence.
• Shopping cart abandonment will continue to increase as more
consumers shift to online and mobile shopping.
BusinessInsider.com
265. 265Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
And Really Why
• An abandoned cart does not automatically translate to a “lost sale”.
• Three-fourths of shoppers who abandon shopping carts say they plan
to return to the retailer’s website or store to make a purchase.
• Initial emails, sent 3 hours after a consumer abandons a cart,
average a 40% open rate, and 20% click through, according to
Listrak.
• You can expect up to a 20% recovery rate on abandoned carts with a
well executed retargeting program
BusinessInsider.com
269. 269Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
Shopping Cart Recovery Tips
• Strike fast – 50% of carts are typically recovered in the first few hours after
abandonment.
• Produce a series – typically 3 emails over a 7 day period.
• Stage your incentives for returning – increase the discount or other
incentives through the series of emails.
• Segment and test different creative, subject lines, offers, calls to action, and
messaging to see what works best.
• Appreciate the value of an email address – no recovery possible without it.

Retention: The Heart of the Matter
AT THE CORE OF DIGITAL RETENTION:
USERS CAN LEAVE YOUR BRAND FOR
SOMEONE ELSE.
ALWAYS REMIND CUSTOMERS WHY THEY
FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU

Retention vs. Loyalty
Loyalty is About Growth
Loyalty and loyalty marketing programs work to transform a
customer’s positive interactions with a winery into positive
outcomes for the customer on an ongoing basis.
They recognize the right behaviors and result in a higher
value customer for the winery and higher value experience
for the customer.
278. 278Bus-810W

Retention vs. Loyalty
Retention is About Decline
Retention is about the preservation, rather than growth
of a customer. Retention campaigns are focused on a
positive indication that this customer is on their way out
the door.
It’s no longer about growth or what could be, it’s about
knowing what is about to happen to your customer and
doing something about it.
279. 279Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
Retention vs. Loyalty
You Should Do Both
Retention and Loyalty are two different types of marketing
campaigns. You need both campaigns working in tandem as
part of the on-going customer conversations.
Without these campaigns, businesses miss critical
communication points that could result in bigger returns and
long lasting relationships.
285. 285Bus-810W

The DNA of Customer Loyalty
• Loyalty programs are employed to drive customers to shop with a
retailer.
• Many schemes are purely “transactional” where the customer enjoys
the experience but would switch to another brand at the drop of a
hat if the alternative offered a slightly better deal.
• Many wineries and online wine retailers are striving to get their
customers to have an “emotional bond” with them, because high
retention rates translate into significant business profits.
• Achieving this requires a whole new approach to loyalty.
286. 286Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
The DNA of Customer Loyalty
The three results that reflect the general components of customer
“emotional” loyalty programs are:
• Retention – keeping customers
• Advocacy – getting new customers through recommendation
• Life Time Value – increasing spend and frequency from existing
customers
Emotional loyalty demands consistency across channels, relevant and timely
promotions, customer intimacy and a real excite and delight element built on
top of a standard “I’ve got great wine to sell at a good price” story.

Reinventing the Delivery Experience
“The luxury experience we are so very carefully
cultivating stops at delivery. We don’t need to
accept that. I think we can extend that luxury
experience and fill the gap.”

Delivery Experience Tools
• Use concierge services or Doorman.co
• Customized winery email on shipment status, and alternative options
• Text customers when “Elvis has left the building”
• Delivery Experience tools now automatically analyze the destination
temperature of each package prior to shipping
• Ship to “hold at FEDEX”
• Multiple winery fulfillment warehousing locations
• Not allowing FEDEX and UPS to dilute customer luxury brand
experience. Maniacally focus on first-time delivery

CRM – Customer Relationship Management
Simply put, CRM is putting customers at the heart of a business.
Today it is more important than ever to build better
relationships with customers as, in this day and age of social
media, they now talk to ???? people at a time.
With the support of technology, the goal of CRM is to have a
360-degree view of the customer which will enable you to
improve the quality and satisfaction of each customer interaction
and maximize the profitability of customer relationships.

CRM Requirements for Success
1. Strategy. Your customer strategy identifies the customers the organization intends
to serve and articulates the desired customer experience to be delivered.
2. Process. Business processes are comprised of the practices associated with major
customer facing business functions in the organization. For example, marketing,
eCommerce, wine club, hospitality, customer service, and field service.
3. Technology. Your technology environment plays an important role in enabling the
CRM business processes and is comprised of customer analytics, customer data
management, and technology infrastructure.
4. People. How people are organized and led has a large role in determining success
with CRM. You must pay attention to the organization’s corporate culture, leadership
practices, collaboration methods, training programs, and performance measurement
approaches.

Know Thy Customer
1. How do you define your target audience (age-group, gender, education,
income, likings, ethnicity, lifestyle etc) and where majority of them live?
2. Who are your best customer types in terms of revenue generation and why?
3. What kind of relationship you want to build with your target audience?
4. What are the desires and expectations of your target audience?
5. What is the level of product use? Are your customers loyal to you?
6. What are the most common objections raised by your customers?
7. Who are the actual decision makers (who has the final say)?

360 Degree View of Your Customer
Information about your members collected at each touch point outside your
website should be attached to the member profile record, creating a complete
view of your customer.
304. 304Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
Preference Based Marketing
• Your member data should not be limited to
just online sales and wine club members.
• As the direct to consumer sales channel
grows customers are finding more and more
touch points to interact with wineries or wine
brands.
• Information about your members that is
collected at these touch points outside your
website is easily fed into the member profile
creating a complete detailed profile of each of
your customers preferences.
305. 305Bus-810W
DTC Marketing
Filter and Segment Data
• CRM tools filter and segment data.
• The first step to understanding how
to market and sell to your customers
and prospects is to first build custom
fields to segment by preferences,
buying habits and behaviors.
• Filtering tools are used to create
custom marketing lists so that the
right message is delivered to the
right customer at the right time.

Email List Segmentation
• Content is Primary
• Segmentation comes next
– Varietal preferences

– Credit card set to expire
(Update your profile)

Dynamic List Building
• The benefit of building a robust database
is being able to comb through and
segment that data so that you can market
to your customers in the most personal
way possible.
• Website tools help you filter your
customers into groupings based on
things they share in common.
• Lists are then created which with a
'profile' for a particular type of member,
which can be based on things like their
buying preferences in the past.
308. 308Bus-810W

Manage Member Data
• The integrity of your member data is
the key to successful CRM.
• Member maintenance tools allow
you to consolidate duplicate member
records, keeping your data clean and
accurate.
• Match your potentially duplicated
member records, then merge the
suggested matches, consolidating
address, payment and order history.
• Clean data is useful data. Find
duplicate data and merge records.

Google Analytics
• Google Analytics is a powerful tool
for evaluating the effectiveness of
your website in getting and keeping
user traffic.
• Implementing Google Analytics
tracking codes on your website helps
you gauge the amount of traffic to
your site and how consumers
behave while visiting your website.
• This information from your website
appears in your Google Analytics
dashboard where you can view this
data and use it to optimize your site.

Big Data in Action
The rise of the Datarati. “Big data” is one of the
most over-used and over-hyped words in

Companies continue to invest in measuring social
media, understanding customer value and modeling
customer behavior. If you do not use your data to

VOLUME
• You are looking to acquire as many new
customers as possible in an effort to
gain traction and grow wine brand
awareness.
• Or you are have fewer metric constraints
(spending our budget is more important
than measuring it!)
• This strategy means being comfortable
with a higher cost per acquisition in
exchange.

AGGRESSIVE OR CONSERVATIVE?

VOLUME
• Looking to maintain the best profit

• This strategy comfortable with simply
acquiring less new customers.

6, 12 months?
How good were we this month at getting our existing customers to come
back and spend time on our site?
How many new users do you want to acquire, and in what time frame?

may not happen. This is modeling, though – it’s not perfect, but it’s useful for our purposes here.

HOW MUCH WOULD I NEED TO SPEND TO HIT MY
TARGET ROI OF 200%?
>> TRAFFIC COST: 50,000 VISITS * $1.00/CLICK = $50,000 AD SPEND
>> CONVERSION: 50,000 VISITS * 2.00% CR = 1,000 CUSTOMERS
>> REVENUE: 1,000 CUSTOMERS * $100 PRICE = $100,000 REVENUE
>> $100,000 REVENUE/$50,000 SPEND = 200% ROI

So under these circumstances, we could hit our ROI Goal & New Customer Goal, with a
$50,000 marketing budget.

Consumer Segment - Consumer Profiles
Price Driven (21% of consumers)
• I believe you can buy good wine without
spending a lot
• So price is a top consideration
Everyday Loyals (20% of consumers)
• Wine drinking is part of my regular routine
• When I find a brand I like, I stick with it
Overwhelmed (19% of consumers)
• I drink wine, but it does not play an important
role in my life
• I don’t enjoy shopping for wine, and find it
complex and overwhelming
Image Seekers (18% of consumers)
• How others perceive me is important
• I want to live a life that impresses others
• I want to make sure the wine I choose says the
right thing about me
Engaged Newcomers (12% of consumers)

The crowd is here: Facebook reportedly is nearing the 700 million-user mark. Every month, according to Facebook, its members spend 700 billion minutes on the network. The average user clicks the Like button nine times a month, and three-quarters of users have “liked” a brand.
Consumers’ comfort level has tipped: People have been buying virtual goods within Facebook since it introduced the (now defunct) Gift Shop in 2007; the practice exploded with the introduction of FarmVille virtual currency in 2009. Analysts believe virtual goods could bring in around $12.5 billion worldwide this year, almost double 2009 sales, according to Adweek. If people are paying real money for virtual goods, it’s not much of a leap to start paying for tangible items.
And, of course, e-commerce has become second nature for many consumers, who are by now quite comfortable with the idea of feeding their credit card information into e-commerce sites. Internet retailing is expected to take in $197 billion in 2011 and grow to $279 billion by 2015, according to Forrester Research. Purchasing an item with a few clicks has become a habit for many people.
At the broadest level, we create content to drive brand awareness within our target market. Your videos, blog content, social media presence represent most trustworthy outlets in customer’s eyes.
Macy’s Magic Fitting Room: In September 2010,Macy’s showcased the “Magic Fitting Room” at its flagship Herald Square store in New York. The kiosk’s mirror was linked to a touch-screen tablet computer, and shoppers scrolled through selected items, chose which pieces to “try on” (these were then superimposed on the shopper’s image) and shared the results via Facebook, email and text to find out what their friends thought of the various outfits.

What we find, and why this relates to site design, is that so many ecommerce companies say to themselves, ‘I need to increase revenue! I need to increase visits!’ Well, yes, this is true, but it’s not the whole picture.
Conversion rate is actually a pretty good high-level indicator of the performance of your site design. That may be a new way to describe site design for many of you. It might look absolutely stunningly gorgeous, but if your redesign drives half the conversion rate of your previous site, then it’s performing poorly.
As an industry benchmark - and this does vary depending on a number of factors - a conversion rate between 1% and 2% is what we’d call healthy. Really we love to see 1.5% and higher, but for some sites 1% is okay too. If you’re less than 1%, things become very difficult for you. Here’s why:
Let’s go back to our friend who wants to increase revenue by increasing visits. Obviously, any significant increases will result from successful marketing and/or advertising campaigns, which typically cost money. If your site has a poor conversion rate, then it’ll still leak many potential customers no matter how many visitors you pour into the top.
All of this is to say that for many ecommerce business owners, when they look to grow their business, their first ideas are typically marketing related. It pays to examine your site first, though. Because if you’re able to design and build a well-oiled machine of a site, it will pay itself back many many times over through higher conversions on your brilliant marketing ideas.
