What Went Right?
✓ Consistent experience: Return visitors
are up to 6X more likely to convert, but
only if they’re sure they’re in the right
place
✓ Contextual placement was great
(particular on the youtube video)
✓ The ad followed around at a reasonable
pace of impressions.
25. | Confidential 25Learn more at: bit.ly/wordstream-ecommerce
What Went Wrong?
• Title is not keyword centric
• Price stayed the same/no promos to get me
to buy
• Missed opportunity to hit me in my Facebook
feed.
• No accounting for why I didn’t buy in the first
place!

REDUCE CART ABANDONMENT, AND

Privy helps small and medium
sized businesses
69. Four things we know
1) Not everyone who visits our websites are looking for the exact
same thing.
2) Each visitor brings their own unique set of interests.
3) We SHOULD be creating more targeted, relevant experiences on
our sites.
4) Industry standard conversion rates are 2-3%.
75. Instead, most marketers fall into
three buckets
The
frozen
The one size
fits
all-ers
The over-
optimized
76. The Frozen
• Recognize the problem but ultimately
don’t know what to do
• Figure they have invested so much
time in their products and website
that they should let those assets do
the selling
“If someone comes to my site they’ll
buy or join my list. Why wouldn’t
they? What I sell is pretty awesome.
And because I don’t know exactly
how to make it better, I am better off
spending my time elsewhere, like
driving more traffic.”
77. The One Size Fits All-ers
• Overwhelmed by the concept of
personalization
• Have probably read too many
blog posts about needing a 1:1
strategy for their websites
• Know they need to do
something proactive
“That sounds like a lot of work that may
or may not be worth it, so I am just
going to do a simple welcome message
with a discount for everyone who hits
their site. We’re saying “It’s better than
nothing and I’m growing my list and
business, so that’s good enough.”
78. The Over Optimized
• Look at marketing strictly as a math equation
• Doesn’t think about the messaging that goes
along with it
• Thinks it’s about audience size, ad performance,
and conversion but the human factor isn’t present
• Not thinking about how they influence someone
once they reach our site
“If I spend $xx on facebook ads to
get yy amount of traffic, I will get z
dollars. It’s just how it works. Then
maybe if I make my button blue I
can optimize further.”
79. So, what is holding us back?
• We’ve been taught it’s too hard or too expensive. That every piece of every funnel
for every visitor needs to be personalized and optimized.
• We’ve been taught that 2% is okay and 3% is great – so good enough is acceptable.
• We believe that greater success requires time, tools, budget and expertise that we
don’t have readily available.
83. Step 2: Implement simple strategies for the
beginning of the path to purchase
Use targeted displays for your top sources and that drive new visitors towards a purchase
or subscription
84. Deliver a highly relevant experience
Use a consistent image, message, or product
to what first bought them to the site.
Welcome!
Welcome!
88. Step 3: Implement simple strategies for
the middle of the funnel
