- 3. What is CRO? CRO - Conversion Rate Optimisation ● Process of optimising a business towards its core KPI - Profitable Revenue ○ Primarily targeting Conversion Rates & Average Order Value ○ But also returns, frequency, revenue per session ● CRO ≠ A/B testing ● By optimising for the 3 most important factors on a website, we convert for the right reason, at a higher value..
- 5. ● Cost of acquisition is ever increasing ○ Data / privacy ○ Changing in algorithms
- 6. ● More competition ○ 1700 new stores every week ○ Competition for ad inventory ○ Competition for share of wallet ○ Competition for attention - peak content
- 8. ● Barriers to entry have never been lower ○ Sourcing products - easy ○ Setting up a website - easy ○ Running some ads - easy ○ Blasting out emails - easy
- 9. ● But every website is the same… ○ Everyone uses the same templates (for a reason…) ○ Everyone uses the same apps ○ It’s monotonous… ○ Nothing stands out
- 11. ● You get 1 chance to convert that customer…

- 30. What do you do when you’ve got the data?
- 31. How does it all add up? What + How + Why = Quality testing ideas
- 32. What do you do when you’ve got the data? ● Analytics isn’t just reporting ● For every $1 you spend on data & reports you should be spending $9 on analysis ● Proper analysis takes time, experience, and knowing where to start… ● Reporting on it’s own has zero value..
- 33. In-House or Agency? ● Some people argue that CRO is pointless for brands under $10m/yr - Rubbish ● CRO works for ANY brand of any size ● If you value customer insight ● If you want to know what your customers want from your products ● And how to sell them better ● Then CRO is an importance piece for your business..
- 34. In-House ● Revenue < $300,000/m ● Traffic < 100,000/m ● ROI will be tough with an agency ● If you do not have any in-house CRO expertise then a consultant may be beneficial. ● You can get 60% of the way yourself with a small team and putting some time & effort into following good CRO practices..
- 35. Agency ● Revenue > $400,000/m ● Traffic > 100,000/m ● Agencies will take your CRO program to the next level ● Full service team ○ Account manager, strategist, analyist, designers, developers who are all CRO specialists ○ Tech stacks, proprietary frameworks, networks..
- 36. Not ready for an agency yet? ● Don’t wait to get things in place. ● Make sure your analytics are set up properly ● Get tools up and running gathering data & feedback ● Do NOT wait for an agency before you start CRO ● It’s not just A/B testing, and it’s not a marketing channel ● CRO is a growth process for optimising your entire business..
