Redesign Improvement (Theory)
![Page 16: Day 2: Integrating Conversion Optimization into Your Marketing Strategy](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547cbecb5906b584378b45a2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Redesign Risks
• “Best Guess”
• Loss of visitor feedback loop
• There is a HUGE opportunity cost (lack of testing)
• If you must redesign:
– Keep the redesign process as simple & short as possible
– Redesign ready for testing on day one
![Page 17: Day 2: Integrating Conversion Optimization into Your Marketing Strategy](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547cbecb5906b584378b45a2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Agile Improvement (Optimization)
• Based on agile management & software dev concepts
• Websites are software
• Websites are fluid and always changing
(Visitors, markets, seasonality, technology)
• There is no “optimal” state
• Maximize the frequency of pivots (changes/testing)
• Ideas, select, execute, analyze, iterate
![Page 20: Day 2: Integrating Conversion Optimization into Your Marketing Strategy](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547cbecb5906b584378b45a2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Lessons Learned & Next Steps
• Began testing immediately
• Paralleling with vastly different version (agile redesign)
• Organizational change (Demand Generation)
– Reporting structure
– Physical seating structure
• Reducing/eliminating requirements documentation
• Wire-mock vs. wireframe, then mockup (1 revision)
• Adapting site structure for self service

What is CRO? • Critical Question: What is conversion optimization? • Is it testing page components such as headlines, offers,
buttons, and colors? • Is it what technology is better? • �25 A/B Test Case Studies� Session Yesterday
– Test specifics – What If’s – Scenarios
• DO NOT copy your competitors tests
![Page 31: Day 2: Integrating Conversion Optimization into Your Marketing Strategy](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547cbecb5906b584378b45a2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What is CRO? • Understanding the difference between testing and
creating an optimal user experiences that delivers relevancy
• �The Human Connection� Session Yesterday – Stressed upon User Experience – The people/knowledge before the technology – Understanding each and every situation is unique
• Most organizations go through an evolution learning how to crawl, then walk, and finally run.

�Crawling� Phase Tactics Include: - Quick actions & small scale tests showing �micro success� - Free tools and resources requiring no long term strategy - Non-Committal: Requiring no �formal� approvals or business
justifications
My Example - CEO wanted to remove �free� offer on PPC landing page - Ran 30 day A/B split test using GWO and built 1 yr, 2 yr, & 3 yr. revenue
model - Result: After seeing test results, CEO did not want to remove �free�
offer

complete understanding

�Walking� Phase Tactics Include: - Project Based: Time line based - Financial/Results Oriented Goal: Scenario based revenue models
creating definable ROI - Limited Exposure: Subset of traffic, set cost, guarantee My Example: - Built a comprehensive ROI model based on �reasonable� lift - Plan included a lift guarantee or money back therefore creating low risk - Result: Double digit lift in lead conversions resulting in millions
