TRAFFIC

Priority (nothing else matters if we don’t have traffic)

TESTING

Have an always be testing approach

EMAILEmail addresses are the currency of the

ecommerce world (2nd to revenue). “Money later” (the 98%).

RETENTION

Getting the 2% to come back

4 Areas of Focus

7@macknuttie

Our job is to attract the right type of people to our website and convince them to buy/engage. That takes eyeballs!

Site visitors (traffic) all have potential to be messaged by Betabrand in some form, we just need to get those people here!

Traffic is made up of site visitors coming from organic, referrals, ads, search engines, and press!

None of our work matters if no one shows up to the party.

Why Traffic Matters

THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY

We optimize our business to the ~2% that take this “happy path”.

Our job is to help increase the likelihood that any one person is going to take this “happy path”.

TESTING

12@macknuttie

I’m a smart marketer. Why test?

You don’t know the right answer, let your audiences guide you.

Your customers don’t know what motivates them to take an action (e.g. red vs. blue button)

Testing outcomes help you understand your customers more deeply along with what might influence their behavior in the future.

Takes a lot of tests to improve our “Happy Path” rate
