Deep dives
Importance of Customer Journey and Conversion Rate Optimization
Many Shopify brands overlook the significance of the customer journey and the sales funnel, often focusing primarily on achieving high conversion rates at checkout. A more holistic approach to conversion rate optimization (CRO) involves understanding the overall customer experience and utilizing effective strategies to enhance it. Traditional methods of optimizing conversions often miss the impact of load times and bounce rates on potential revenue. By addressing these factors, brands can more effectively turn traffic into consistent sales and improve overall performance through efficient funnel management.
