Explanation of partner’s approach with Odoo
Try to reduce your services to a few, go straight to the point (small business, big companies)
Jam case, reduce trial from 24 to 6
The first day, they set up a stand at a local grocery store to offer jam samples. Initially, they offered 24 different varieties of jam for customers to try. That large number of options piqued a lot of people’s interest. 60% of the people who passed the stand stopped to try their jam.So far, so good, right? But when they closed up their stand for the day, they found that only 3% of people converted and bought their jam.
That sounds pretty similar to the average conversion rate for most websites when you think of it. The next day, They went back to the same grocery store stand but reduced the number of jam samples down to six (from 24). The flavors were all the same as the day before. All they reduced was the number of options. The result? They saw a 30% higher conversion rate that resulted in 600% more product sold!
Research from Episerver Retail Clients Q1 2020
