3. Complex e-Commerce Implementation
for TIM SA
BankKabli [CableBank] is an original project by TIM SA – one of the biggest distributors of electro-tech articles in Poland. TIM has been on the market for nearly 25 years
(for 15 years, it has been listed onthe Warsaw stock exchange). The company offers
ca. 9000 products on demand. It employs 350 people and has 30 sales departments
in Poland. Headquarters and logistics centerare localized in Siechnice near Wrocław.
The Central Magazine is almost fully automated – both when it comes to storage
processes and additional services, such as cable rewinding and tailored cable cutting
services.
TIM SA has been growing more and more adventurous in the Internet and BankKabli
has been one of its first enterprises, aiming to create and develop the new distribution channel. Opening the online sales channel was supposed to cut the costs of
customer service and at the same time increase the number of buyers.
Process
In Divante, we follow the User-Centered Design methodology whose main goal is to
satisfy customer needs in the possibly most intuitive and comfortable way.
The project included the following process:
1. Analysis of business needs and demands – during which we filled in the
functional document, wrote down additional demands and, during workshops
with the client, gathered business goals and other functional and non-functional
demands (concerning e.g. efficiency and capacity of the system).
3

4. 2. User interactions designing – when the UI was prepared and optimized,
together with a list of user cases, user tests and the final improvements.
3. Technical analysis and choosing integration pattern – which was a tough nut
to crack because it demandedchanging technical infrastructure and the client’s
systems. At this stage, we gathered all specifications of network services and set
up data exchange protocols (more on this later).
4. Graphic designing – based on the interactive prototypes.
5. Implementation – based on Magento engine.
6. Tests and release – We run a series of tests and prepared reports on every
aspect of the application. Testing is vital for us because we want our final product to be complete and reliable. Also this time testing took quite long but after
it was done both the client and us were sure that launching the store will be a
piece of cake.
7. Survey and optimization – some time after the service had beenlaunched, we
performed a series of analytical surveys to see whether the business goals were
in fact achieved.
People involved in the project:
• at the analytical and graphic designing stages: 2 user experience designers, 1
system analytic (integration analysisand business process detailing), 1 graphic
designer
• during deployment: 1 webmaster, 2 programmers (full time), 1 programmer
(part time), 1 web administrator (part time)
• during tests: 1 tester andbusiness analytic (test scenarios and reports)

Analysis and designing took one month and a half, while the deployment took four
months and a half. Taking into account the level of complexity of the system, we think
this it is a very good time result.

5. Interactive prototypes
Implementing a complex system within a tight budget and on a strict deadline is
always at risk. To minimize it, it is crucial to build a good and detailed functional
project in a prep phase. Changing such a project is much cheaper than changing
a ready application. Thanks to interactive wireframes, successive optimizations
become fast and cheap.
Additionally, interactive prototypes are a perfect way to show the client how the
final application will work and confront his and his customers’ expectations with the
designer’s vision, which is vital in e-commerce reality.
User tests
Based on interactive prototypes, we tested how the potential customers would work
with the application. To bring in the reality factor, we selected a group of users with a
very diverse experience in online shopping.
The testers included people from different regions of Poland, chosen together
with the client from the company’s target group customers – from energy industry
employees, through real estate and property developers, to individual investors (e.g.
people renovating their houses). During the tests, the users performed tasks that had
been earlier defined with the client.
Task for retailers and whole salers of electric equipment
Imagine that you need 345 m building-supply cable for sale. Try to buy it on this site.
Task for traffic maintenance
Imagine that you need 345 m building-supply cable for sale. Try to buy it on this site.
Optimizing the calculator
The user tests allowed us to introduce optimizations that made using the store
intuitive – although it sometimes concerns complex orders.
It is a good moment to briefly discuss why in the case of cables we deal with untypical
product and what kind of repercussions it brings. Cables are sold in rings or reels
– and different lengths. They can be also tailor-cut to meet customer needs. TIM
SA, as every cable distributor, after some time has faced the problem of storing the
Complex e-Commerce Implementation for TIM SA

6. remaining snippetswhich are so short that hardly anyone wants to buy them. Their
storing means using the precious logistics space. That is why BankKabli was also
supposed to sell them out.
In order to do that, a special calculator was designed. It answers a given cable length
demand with a choice between a tailor-cut cable section and a sum of snippets on
sale plus joints – in order to get rid of the snippets and offer a lower price.
The following figure presents how the calculator was changing during successive
optimizations and user tests. It was gradually becoming simpler and simpler (from
left to right).

7. Graphic designing
During graphical designing – after the final prototypes had been accepted – we
prepared a single graphic line (look & feel). After the home page has been accepted,
we designed all the screens to match the interactive wireframes. Graphic designing
took one month and, at some point, run alongside deployment to make the final
release to the market sooner.
After graphic designing, the webmaster created HTML and CSS templates that
were used in the final stage. Preparing templates took 3 weeks of full-time workby
webmaster. Simultaneously, the developers were working on their share.
Magento implementation
While deciding on a technological platform, our client focused on a couple of factors:
• Business security – The platform’s license should be open-source so that
the client himself could add functions according to the changing needs and
take care of software maintenance and development. It was also important
to be able to pass on the development to another company or even use the
producer’s technical support if needed.
• Functional flexibility – B2B system is a challenge for software itself, plus the
client’s business is constantly changing so a lot of new functionalities appear
to be necessary as it grows – which is why the platform has to make their
implementation cheap and easy.
• System security – It was demanded that software update should be possible
(despite all the upgrades) and take place regularly according to the producer’s
schedule (e.g. security patches).
Taking all the above factors into account, Magento seems to be ideal. Because of its
flexibility, it ensures lots of development opportunities. Currently, a number of Magento’s partners develop additional modules which can be used in the future – they
also provide business security. At this moment, Magento is a sort of a standard when
it comes to e-commerce software (with 125 thousand implementations worldwide,
including Poland).
Allintroduced modifications to software were added as extra modules which enable
updating the core of the platform. And they do not collide with the producer’s
patches. The module structure makes it easy to add more modifications and plan the
development. In the following subchapter, we’ll discuss technological challenges and
solutions that we came up with during implementation.

8. Untypical product
Cables are sold in rings and reels. Storing information about the available length of
cable in stock is not enough because it is necessary to know what exact fragments
are available (e.g. to be able to sell out the remaining snippets as discussed above).
Additionally, each purchase includes tailor-cutting or deposit for container (reel), plus
logistics costs.
If that already isn’t enough, the prices of the cables are not steady because they
depend on the number of items in stock, customer demand and many other business
factors. In BankKabli, the prices are calculated each time according to an algorithm
which uses these factors, imported as Ms Excel files and read via ERP system.
Implementing price rules and specific products demanded writing data models in
Magento and matching the algorithm via events mechanism. Anywhere, from product
pages through calculator to user path, the prices are calculated by one algorithm
taking into account all the dynamic factors.
Also the promotional rules and discount codes were changed. The final implemented
cable calculator is displayed below.

sell out the cable snippets

9. B2B elements
In the case of BankKabli, implementing B2B functionalities kept us awake at night.
Because Magento does not have a native support for such modules (and it is hard to
get ready modules which can be used without modifications), we had to work hard to
implement a couple of features:
• Hierarchical customer accounts – a customer having departments can set up
separate accounts for all employees, where they can make purchases up to the
preliminarily set limits.
• Purchase limits – fully integrated with ERP system – both the process of asking
for a limit (electronic order) and its maintenance were implemented in Magento.
We created a new method of payment to comply with the customer’s balance.
The data is being actively exchanged with the ERP system.
• Multiple pick-up addresses and booking pick-up times – Thanks to automatic
logistics, it is possible to book pick-up time directly in the Central Magazine.
One customer can have an unlimited number of pick-up addresses, matching
his departments.
• Complaint service – complaints are generated automatically and sent to the
Workflow system in TIM(accepting all documents).
Fig. 4 The basic Magento version was enriched with B2B functionalities
Complex e-Commerce Implementation for TIM SA
9

10. • Invoices and other documents service – each customer, even buying offline,
can check his or her order’s status and documents after setting up an account,
thanks to integration with Workflow. Moreover, it relieves Call Center and is an
info hub for the customers.
To create a B2B account, we used server mechanisms and events in Magento again,
we extended a couple of models, plus we used EAV mechanisms to add non-standard
attributes to all object groups in the database (including user and customer models).
Untypical user path
Those who know Magento, initially praise the “One-page checkout” mechanism. This
solution is based on the AJAX user path mechanism, including only one step (with
dynamically added elements). But the mechanism wasinadequate for the BankKabli.
During user tests and interactive prototypes designing, we detailed all the user path
steps. We used the method of precise delivery, i.e. booking pick-up address, date
and time, different payment models, purchase limits and text-message notifications
about the subsequent stages of the delivery.
We had to re-write the whole user path mechanism (introducing a new controller and
models responsible for these functionalities in Magento). We did our best to use the
standard models and data models, e.g. pick-up addresses, orders, invoices, and only
made modifications where it was necessary.
Introducing our solution to the company’s IT
The implementation included integration with a couple of systems:
• automatic magazine
• ERP system (MFG/PRO)
• document service system
TIM has well-working and well-optimized business processes which the Internet system
shall complement by evolution, not revolution. Thus, during pre-implementation
analysis, all processes that were supposed to be affected were written down in BPMN
notation. Next, we decided which steps would be supported and to what extent.
Based on such business processes, we listed system demands, designed user
interface and system user cases.
10
Complex e-Commerce Implementation for TIM SA

11. Fig. 6 The diagram shows a model configuration of e-commerce infrastructure
Integrations were co-prepared with the client’s IT department in a document called
„Integration analysis”, describing all data formats and ways (protocols) of their
exchange.
We have used the Microsoft BizTalk Server data bus which has standardized the way
of exchanging information. As formats, we have used XML documents prepared via
OAGIS. Thanks to this approach, the integrations can be used in TIM’s new systems,
as well as in the case of Internet solutions that communicate with these systems.
Using standard solutions in integrations is vital.
The extent of data exchange:
• Products – full technical specifications of products are exchanged (once a day,
sent by ERP system).
• Numbers of items in stock – they are synchronized a couple of times a day,
the store also allows for online reservations of products, and full info about the
purchased fragments is passed on to the storage system.
Complex e-Commerce Implementation for TIM SA
11

12. • Orders and customer data – full mutual synchronization. The store sends
the orders and customer data to the magazine, while the customer receives
information concerning the stage of delivery. In this way, the processes
concerning logistics and purchase were not modified and are still supported
via ERP system and no additional trainings for the employees responsible for
deliveries were necessary.
• Purchase documents and limits – also mutual synchronization in real time.
Fig. 7 The system integrates with a couple of other systems in TIM’s current infrastructure.
Fig. 8 Hosting is done via technological concept sketched during the analytical phase –
including the chosen database server, application server, firewall and coded data
exchange channel with domain systems in the client’s DataCenter (via VPN).
12
Complex e-Commerce Implementation for TIM SA

13. • To boost the reliability of data exchange on the store’s part, we used the
Gaerman queue system which renews messages in the case of breaking the
connection or other events disturbing information exchange.
Tests, tests, tests
E-commerce systems are systems with increased level of demanded availability. In
the case of CableBank, the extra risk factor influencing the system’s stability was the
big number of integrations. We prepared full test scenarios to User Acceptance Tests
(UAT – functional tests) and planned efficiency testes and other tests.
To sum up, we performed the following tests:
• Functional/acceptance – based on scenarios which becaem the basis for
further smoke and regression tests, performed during development, after
implementation.
• Integration – based on test scenarios, together with TIM, we checked whether
data synchronized in the desired scope and time and what was the efficiency
and risk potential of the system.
• Security – two-phase. First of all, we performed automated tests for the typical
weaknesses (XSS, SQL, Injection, CSRF). On the other hand, we reviewed the
source code of the added Magento functionalities.
• Efficiency – via Siege and JMetertools, we tested the crucial paths of the
application. Based on the maintenance agreement, the application guaranteed
response and user goal realization times. The efficiency tests showed that the
goals were being appropriately realized and that the application was able to
serve to the predicted traffic.
All tests were written down as reports and delivered to the client. Only after their
acceptance, we deployed the system to the production server.

15. Quality Assurance
To provide Quality Assurance, we followed our standards:
• Version control system – SVN with version tagging, development plan and
tagging the commits.
• Commits recording system – Redmine which deals with all the communication
and decisions made with the client. Redmineis also used to plant the successive
editions of software.
• Monitoring system – Incinga which monitors all the OS parameters and the
application’s accessibility (HTTP).
• PHPUnit automatic tests – which monitorwhether the key application algorithms
are accessible and correct: calculating prices, integrated services, user path.
• Separate environments: developer, test and production.
• Transactional implementation system – Using SVN and procedures,
the versions are planned once a week, bearing in mind the time for the
client’s UAT tests and our functional tests, as well as regression test.

16. Complex e-Commerce Optimization
for INTERSPORT Polska S.A.
The INTERSPORT Group is the world’s biggest retailer of branded sports equipment
in over 5400 stores in 40 countries, whose total income exceeds 10 billion euro.
In Poland, INTERSPORT Polska S.A. is a leader in sports chain stores, having 32 stores
in 21 biggest Polish cities. The company is awarded each year for dynamic growth,
increasing its market value and business reliability.
Divante took care of the already existing e-store http://esklep.intersport.pl, based on
a dedicated solution and integrated with INTERSPORT’s domain systems.
We diagnosed:
• usability problems
• loading speed problems
Goals
We approached INTERSPORT from man ye-commerce aspects. Our major goal was
to increase sales in the online store.
We want to use our position of a leader in traditional commerce to become a key
online player in the future. We have selected Divante and Ideacto as partners to
outsource e-commerce services so that we do not disperse our main selling force
outside the traditional channel which generates the majority of profits.
– Marek Bugajski, Store Management Director at INTERSPORT Polska S.A.
16

17. We planned:
1. 1. Conversion optimization in the e-store – divided into recommendation to the
current store and re-designing.
2. 2. Extending the online channel’s reachvia SEM, ePR, social media and preparing
ground for further development of the unused areas of sales marketing.
The following case study describesthe above point 1 (optimization).
Increasing conversion
We started from competition and market analysis. It is good to learn from the best.
To learn more about the industry, we went outside the Polish market and took a look
at how the biggest foreign sports equipment retailers work.
We also analyzed the foreign divisions of INTERSPORT. Our goal was to maintain a
coherent international brand image.
Next, we performed usability tests which were the basis to propose modifications.
We thoroughly tested the current store design to distinguish the good points that
work on the Polish markets from the weaknesses and lacks that shall be fixed in the
first place.

Because we didn’t want to keep the client waiting for the improvements, we listed
simple recommendations that could be done before the new store was implemented.
We were analyzing, designing, implementing – all to increase sales by making the
customers feel more comfortable.

18. Identifyingthe factors influencing purchase
decision
While analyzing the industry, we followed the unique e-commerce values that
guided us in the subsequent project stages.
The most important were:
1. reliability ofINTERSPORT as a brand;
2. broad offer of branded products, including INTERSPORT’s own brands;
3. detailed product presentation;
4. simple way of purchase (the essence of a big sports store).
Apart from the broad, unique added value, there is a possibility of personal pick-up
in stationary sites in the whole country and quick delivery.
Interactive prototypes
Having analyzed all the gathered materials, we moved on todesigning interactive
prototypes. Each functionality change was consulted directly with INTERSPORT and
other business insiders. The effect was a functional project comprising of 23 screens.
Graphic designing
Having designed all functionalities of the new store, we proceeded to graphic concept.
The design was maintained in the winter mood, with the possibility to change the
theme. Our graphic designers prepared a light and well-balanced concept which was
100% compatible with INTERSPORT’s character.
18
Complex e-Commerce Optimization for INTERSPORT Polska S.A.

19. Exemplary modifications
Home page
The crucial aspect of the home page was the menu which was re-designed together
with the whole information architecture. The horizontal bookmark menu allowed
for increasing accessibility of the two levels of categorization. Below the menu, we
placed a sales banner and four starting points with special offers.
Fig. 11 The main menu
Header
We filled the header of the store with the most important information, from the big
logo and contact through conventional login and registration elements, to search
box and a very useful drop-down cart.
Fig. 12 Header
Product page
Two layouts of a product page – horizontal and standard – allowed for effective
presentation of all the product types. To maximize the ROPO effect, we designed
a very intuitive element verifying accessibility in stationary stores. Besides, we
introduced clear announcements about accessibility and free pick-up in store.

User path
When designing the user path, we concentrated on the simplicity of purchasing items
in the store. We cut down the number of steps, simplified the choice of payment
model, as well as delivery and personal pick-up variants.
Fig. 14 User path
A big group of INTERSPORT’s customer is predominantly concerned with time-saving
and does not always want to be bound with the store. For this group, we introduced
registration-free shopping – the element that had been previously lacking.
20
Complex e-Commerce Optimization for INTERSPORT Polska S.A.

21. Additionally, we wanted to make sure that the users would learn about the profits
from registration which could convince them to create accounts. This element was
given a deep though and entered into the registration form.
Fig. 15 Registration form
Navigation by brand
Many customers preferred to browse the whole offer of a chosen brand. To make it
easier for them, we placed a clear logotypes’ rotator in the footer.
Fig. 16 Navigation by brand
New mechanisms in store
The members of loyalty program can use coupons. To simplify the process, a loggedin user only has to pick the coupon from the list. The information about free delivery
appears next to the choice of the delivery type – in the right place and at the right
time.
Fig. 17 Coupons

22. Quartic recommendations
Because of the industry type and the way the users search for the products, we
introduced product recommendations. The boxes fitted in the page layout help to
find alternative for the viewed products, basing on a user’s browsing history in the
store. We used the Quartic system of recommendations.
Implementation and technical optimization
We did not change technology in which the store had been created. Together with
the client, Divante specialists modified the application.
During implementation, the project was prepared to meet SEO standards. To code
the prototype, we used interface loading optimization techniques. We also cleaned
up the code from bugs which had been slowing down loading the store. Automatic
user interface tests and constant accessibility monitoring were introduced.
Quality Assuarance
At each project stage, internal quality control was conducted. A system demand,
change and service issues (Redmine) were introduced. Also automatic implementation
process, control list, procedures and three-step implementation, as well as good
implementation practices were prepared.
Minimizing the risk during implementation
We pay special attention to:
• In-depth demand analysis: interactive prototypes + screens + webcast from the
existing system.
• Analysis of external systems (integrations) and processes in the meeting point.
• Detailed milestones / iterations – each milestone means ready-to-use
functionalities.
• Controlling the workflow via Redmine, together with the client and constant
information exchange plus test version online.
• Creating and testing automatic scripts to data migration – while creating
functions, first we have to migrate the necessary data – which is why we can be
sure that we won’t forget anything.
• Creating documentation with descriptions of all test scenarios for the platform’s
business performance (for smoke tests).
• Two- or three-step functional tests, security tests, efficiency tests and crisis
performance tests –after data import, before launching the system.

23. Effects
We achieved both business effects (better conversion) and technical effects (stability,
lower server load). We improved the parameter connecting business and technical
indicators – the pages’ loading time was considerably shortened, which improved
usability.
Business effects
Conversion increased by 46,21%.
Page views per visit increased by 21,24%.
Technical effects
Decrease in server load by 70%, with the same traffic. Thanks to this, no additional
hosting costs will occur during the holiday season.
Speeding up the process of the store’s loading by 40% for the end user according
to Google Analytics. In case of some pages, the loading time decreased even by
200%!

in success-fee model
for In360.pl
When decorating your house, sooner or later you’ll face the dilemma – what style to
choose for the bathroom? There are hundreds of brands, series and patterns on the
market, varying in price. In the era of the Internet, it is much easier to get inspired and
choose the ideal bathroom accessories online.
The answer is In360 – an e-store open since 2009, selling products across Poland. The
deliveries are governed by the central department in Warsaw.
The store offers a broad selection of quality bathroom ceramics and tiles. The
company is a direct distributor of such brands as Villeroy&Boch, Hansgrohe, Kludi,
Grohe, Duravitandover 80 others. It sells tiles, bathroom furniture, sinks and lighting.
The store’s service is a high-class team of specialists and advisors helping both
individual customers and interior designers and architects. Thanks to its rich offer
and good prices, very good accessibility and great customer service, In360 is one of
the leading stores in its category.
Marketing
Because of the store’s big potential and the growing popularity of bathroom
accessories among individual customers and independent interior designers, we
decided on intensified marketing. Our major goal was to increase sales through
effective promotion and simultaneous diversification of traffic sources. In360 entered
into partnership in the success-fee model.
24

25. Effective campaign design
The first step was to analyze previous marketing activities and choose the optimal
tool which would successfully support current activities in the efficiency model. We
decided on PPC campaign, where Divante worked on the sponsored-link campaign.
For the first three months, complex test was being performed, to cover all assortment
and methodologies of searching products which generate conversion. The marketing
activities were optimized based on Google Analytics conversion rate and Google
AdWords expenses.
Fig. 18 The in360.pl store
During the campaign, a dictionary of keywords and exclusions was prepared, with
30 thousand words after three months. Over 3 thousand ads were used, plus landing
pages presenting products in different ways. The campaign also used geolocalization
connected with a possibility of free pick-up directly in the Warsaw warehouse.
Together with sales marketing, we decided to re-design the store.

26. Effects and references
The key to success was scalable use of campaign structure and its strong optimization. During the three-month initial phase we have decided which tools should be
excluded and which should be developer during the creation and optimization of
the campaign.
The Google AdWrods campaign increased income by over 21%, becoming its
second biggest source and the first traffic source. The campaign’s cost was returned
eight times. The ten best campaigns generated ROI GoogleAdWords reaching over
3000% and stable income each month of the campaign. Constant optimization of
the campaign increased CTR by 58%.
Since the very beginning of our cooperation, Divante became our e-commerce
partner. Their enthusiasm and engagement, as well as constant and strong
optimization resulted in great effects!

27. Seasonal sales support in e-Commerce
for Grupa Edukacyjna S.A.
KsięgarniaEdukacyjna [Educational Bookstore] is the official e-commerce platform of
GrupaEdukacyjna S.A. [Educational Group joint stock company] – the leader among
educational publishers in Poland. The online bookstore has been on the market for
5 years, selling books and textbooks for student (varying in the educational stage),
didactic materials and educational games – altogether, over 3 thousand products.
The bookstore is the official distributor of MAC Edukacja, JUKA-91 and POLTEXT.
The market for GrupaEdukacyjna is characterized by strong seasonality. The products
sold in the education industry are unified. The crucial factors are guaranteed delivery
and high availability of the products.
Development and strategy
One of the elements of Księgarnia to be improved was the quality and comfort of
shopping, via re-designing of the sales platform. Divante was the executor of user
experience and graphic designing, as well as implementation and development of
the platform.
The next step in developing the online sales channel was to start increasing
e-commerce sales and adjust to the market’s character.
27

28. Because of the upcoming sales season in the industry, KsięgarniaEdukacyjna together with Divante decided to follow the strategy of quick increasing of the offer via
SEM. The scope of cooperation included designing and running the efficiency campaign in Google AdWords.

29. Efficiency SEM campaign
The basis of the success was cooperation between KsięgarniaEdukacyjna, having
knowledge about the market and the products and Divante, experienced in sales
campaign for e-commerce. Engaging both teams was crucial in designing the
campaign and its optimal scaling.
During the campaign, the conception of the “long tail” was used, plus we employed
the medium-range category of key words. By using methods of campaign scaling,
we managed to quickly embrace the most important product groups. Because of the
specific product names, the combinations of key words and exclusions were crucial.
Equally important was campaign cost optimization which lowered the cost per click
and simultaneously increased the number of potential customers to be reached with
the same budget.

The effect of cooperation were very good results of the sales campaign. The average
Google AdWords’ ROI in August, the key sales month, reached 3000% and peaked
at times to 9000%. The great effects of the campaign were possible thanks to the
characteristics of the market and a well-constructed “long tail.” Constant optimization
lowered the cost per click by 55%.
The campaign was the first traffic source and the second income stores in the store.
Conversion for Google AdWrods was 60% bigger than organic traffic conversion.
The campaigns run by Divante experts let us optimize the costs and increase the
effectiveness of marketing. Together, we achieved very good sales results in our
strategic period.

30. Online Presence Strategy
of Balneum Baby Basic
for Almirall Sp. z o.o.
AlmirallPolskais part of the international pharmaceutical concern, with headquarters
in Spain. Almirall’s products are present in 70 countries of Europe and North America.
Project goal
The goal of the project was promoting the new line of cosmetics, Balneum Baby
Basic, dedicated to skincare of toddlers and babies.
When introducing the product to the chain of online pharmacies, we planned two
tasks: improving sales and increasing brand awareness for Balneum Baby Basic.
Realization
We used the ePOSMarketing.pl chain ads in online stores and invited the biggest
e-pharmacies in Poland. The campaign was directed to people expecting a child to
be born soon or to parents of children up to three years old.
Why the Internet?
Future moms spend a lot of time online, browsing for practical information about
parenthood. At the same time, the TNS OBOP survey shows that as many as 74%
customers of traditional stores uses the Internet before making their final purchase
decision offline.
30

31. Realization
We run a three-month online campaign, using popular forms of adverts, according to
IAB standard – button and billboard.
Our partners included the following big online pharmacies: Apteo.pl, I-apteka.pl,
DrOlivia.pl, Apte24.pl, Zdro-vita.pl. The adverts (created by the ad chain’s agency)
were emitted by ePOSMarketing.pl by means of an ad server on the sponsored
areas of the e-pharmacies. The adverts were displayed on the homepage and in the
sections “for babies”. After clicking, the user was transferred to the product page in
a given pharmacy.
Increasing brand awareness
E-pharmacies taking part in the program were supposed to get the promoted product in stock, which is how Promo Ringe POS Marketing campaign broadened the
sales channel of the new line, Balneum Baby Basic.
Strong engagement
The users clicking on the banner were not, contrary to the standard model of advert
emission, directed to the campaign’s landing page, but instead they were moved
directly to a product page in the store. The pharmacy earned via emission and sales
and simultaneously did not lose its hard-earned users.
Coherent image
The ePOS campaign made all the pharmacies update the product’s presentations
(descriptions, photos), which let us introduce a coherent promotional policy of the
brand in online stores.

32. Effects and testimonials
• Summing up, the campaign’s reached nearly 5% of the users.
• The adverts were displayed over 800 thousand.
• The product sales grew considerably – even by 1200%.
• Sales in the e-pharmacies increased by 400%.
When introducing a new line of Balneum Baby Basic cosmetics to the market, we
decided to target a precise group of addressees. One of our channels was the ePOS
chain. After a month since the campaign had been launched, we noted a growth of
interest in the promoted products, as well as sales increase. This mechanism let us
lower the cost of the marketing campaign with the income form sales. The effect
was brand awareness increase, confirmed by the purchases. An additional value that
the ePOS chain gave us was getting new points to sell our products, where they had
been absent before.

33. Complex e-Commerce Implementation
for SOLAR Company
Company is a Polish clothing brand. It has:
• 80 chain boutiques,
• 13 franchise boutiques (e.g. in Lubeck, Gent, Lviv)
• 7 outlet stores
• 120 members of external chain
and 25 partners in the neighboring countries
Goals
The main goal was to make direct online purchase possible (regarding current collections, as well as the outlet).
Moreover, two tactical goals were defined:
• A tool for the offline clients. Creating shopping lists and the possibility to learn
about a new collection before visiting the boutique.
• A tool for the online clients. SOLAR boutiques are famous for frequent deliveries of new products. The e-store was supposed to make it possible to follow the
new items in the collections, but also to find and buy products which are already
unavailable in the boutiques.
33

34. The two above goals were chosen to support the ROPO effect (Research Online, Purchase Offline). As the surveys conducted in the fashion industry by Divante and IMAS
International showed, the Internet directly influences as much as 6,5% of total sales.
It means that 3,1% of purchases is made directly via the Internet and, what’s more, the
Web is the decisive information source for the next 2,4% of purchases made offline.

35. After gathering the client’s business demands and conducting appropriate analysis,
interactive prototypes of the system were prepared. Interactive prototypes demonstrate how the application is going to work, which allows for a confrontation of the
designer’s vision with the expectations of both the client and the target audience for
the service.
Conceptual work on the prototypes makes verification of the ideas cheap and fast
– in the subsequent phases of the project, the number of modifications diminishes.
There were 9 different versions of interactive prototypes prepared. The work on the
prototypes lasted 3 weeks.
Fig. 22 Interactive prototypes were prepared in Axure
Simultaneously with the designing process, integration with Microsoft Dynamics
NAV was conducted. Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an integrated business solution for
medium-size businesses. It supports finance management, budgeting, production,
distribution, customer service management, e-business, advanced analysis (Business
Intelligence) and control.

35

36. Preparing the project of integration was the first step. Prepared in cooperation with
the client’s IT department, it included the detailed description of synchronization
mechanisms, security systems and data formats.
The integration made two-way data exchange possible, including the number of
products in stock, product features, orders. Testing the integration mechanism at an
early stage of the implementation allowed us to map all the flaws and make sure they
will not influence the application’s functioning.
Graphic designing was based on the visual identification and according to the
arrangement of the elements within the interactive prototypes. As usual in Divante,
a single graphic line was prepared so as to focus on the best possible mastering the
project, instead of on multiplying different versions.
Graphic design does not compete with the photos of the products and the collection’s
graphics. It serves as a frame for them. The creation of the graphic design was
supervised by the SOLAR experts so as to guarantee consistency.

37. Storyboards for the initial animations were also prepared. Animations are
synchronized with the changing collections (color palette, products). After the
look&feel acceptance, graphic designs for the subsequent subpages were prepared.
Graphic designing took 2 weeks.
The store was released via a technologically advanced Divante platform based on a
popular Open Source solution.

Effects
Right after launching the store, a number of orders were placed. Conversion rate
jumped to 2,21% and an average order value boomed.
Thanks to high usability standards, 68% purchases are made already during the
first visit. After a month, as many as 15,9% purchases were fuelled by SEO.

in TUI Poland
TUI Poland is part of the world’s biggest tourist concern – TUI Travel PLC – listed on
the London Stock Exchange. TUI Poland owns 63 representative offices.
A complex presentation of the offer is available on the website, which also allows for
online reservations. The clients are also welcome to use the call centre. TUI’s offer
includes: charter vacation, hotel reservations, flights, car rentals and much more.
Goal
The key project goal was increasing online sales, including increasing revenue from
each single sum of money spent on marketing and introducing new traffic sources.
Another desired goal was increasing the effectiveness of the online channel – more
visible clients’ engagement, higher conversion rates.
Strategy
Our strategy covered increasing the new traffic, as well as its conversion.
Actions:
• Conversion optimization on the website.
• Introducing new traffic sources and optimization of the current ones
38

39. Conversion optimization
First, we learned about the business demands and technical limitations. Then we
met with people responsible for the product, communication and preparing the
offers, customer service, technology and development. Moreover, we did a thorough
recognition of the branch, we read articles, reports and met with independent
experts on the tourist business. Armed with this knowledge, we could make the next
step – the analysis of the website.

Fig. 24 The plan of website optimization
Traffic analysis based on the statistics provided by Google Analytics let us detect
usability and communication problems at a large scale – thanks to the statistic,
we had hard data regarding particular elements and subpages. What is more, we
were able to recognize the elements which were OK and did not need considerable
modifications.
The analysis, run by a couple of independent experts, allowed for the estimation of
the Website regarding usability. Apart from detecting errors and problems connected
with usability, we enriched the analysis with complex recommendations based mainly
on the tourist industry.
The goal of eyetracking test was to detect usability problems. Thanks to the equipment
monitoring points of the biggest interest (sight fixation) on the website, we could
observe what draws attention and what remains unnoticed. The test was qualitative.
The eyetracker was rented from Eyetracking.pl. Apart from tests, analysis and reading
a number of reports and articles, we followed the advice of our befriended experts
from the tourist business.
Conclusions and recommendations allowed us to come up with a new conception.
Each tool was supposed to recognize a different fragment of the whole. Conclusions
drawn from eyetracking tests confirmed earlier statistics and recommendations from
expert analysis was a source of ideas for the designers.

Having gathered conclusions and recommendations, we started designing, which
effected in interactive wireframes. We prepared over 20 prototypes and designed
over 30 different looks representing key subpages. Once the interactive wireframes
were done, we got down to create a graphic design. We wanted it to be fresh and
modern, with a clear interface.
According to the tests, search engine was the crucial element of the Website. It is
responsible for guiding the majority of the users to the proper offer. In its previous
form, the search engine was somewhat problematic, especially regarding nonintuitive options and the very way it worked. What was more, the search engine was
not visible enough.

41. We proposed some changes. The
search engine is wider and takes exactly
half of the page’s width. In the second
part, there is a dynamically scrolled
banner presenting the newest offers.
It also serves as visual refreshment.
We improved the search fields based
on earlier analysis to make them more
intuitive and effective.

43. Automation Marketing
for Willsoor
Usually, a welcome e-mail that goes to the first-time e-store subscribers is a simple
text message containing activation link. Most of the e-stores do not make use of this
unique opportunity to encourage first purchase.
The fact is that the possibility that a client will place an order diminishes every day
and hour – and goes down by several dozen per cent within only a week. That is why
for Willsoor, a producer of men’s dress shirts, we used the potential of the welcome
e-mail designing it as a graphic sales message.
Strategy
The idea that guided us when planning the e-mail marketing campaign was: it’s much
easier to convince those clients who are already engaged somehow. When new users
enter the website and fill in the online form, they themselves make the first step in the
direction of a purchase, so it is enough to help them make the final decision. Equally
important to mobilization of the active clients is knowledge of their relations with the
store. Just like in everyday life – some are still considering the purchase, others are
regular buyers, and yet another group is just virtual “window shoppers”. Sending
everybody the same message will not be effective. Shall we treat an unsatisfied client
the same as we treat a potential buyer? Of course, not.
That’s why we divided consumers into 3 groups:
• Potential/new
• Active/regular buyers
• Inactive/dissatisfied
43

44. The above segmentation stems from the Life Cycle Marketing, which
by analogy to a universal pattern of organism development in nature
implements this scheme to analyze client-store relation from its origin
to a possible death.
It goes like this:
• Getting clients’ attention (birth),
• Teaching them what we have to offer (development),
• Sometimes, losing some clients (death).
In the case of Willsoor, our main objective was to get new clients, so we
decided on two techniques:
• Easy-to-fill pop-up subscription form
• Welcome e-mail with 10% discount
These methods were not only supposed to mobilize new users, but also build a list of
subscribers. Let’s see if it worked.
Building a list of subscribers
In order to squeeze the best out of the e-mail marketing sales potential, the first
step is to build a substantial list of subscribers. So we started off with increasing the
number of subscriptions, which had been quite humble as for two years of the store’s
online presence. The crucial change was introducing a pop-up subscription form.
Following the best practices, the subscription form contained information about the
10% discount as an encouragement to subscribe and place an order. This much of a
discount turned out the right choice and it was not even a month later when the list
of subscribers got longer by 34%.
In the case of Willsoor, we used a discount. But there are more options to be used,
depending on a store: free delivery, gift coupons, gifts, contests. Some industries,
like electronics, operate within hardly a couple of per cent of profit margin – 10%
discount is then too much.
Besides, e-mail marketing should be planned in a longer perspective. Many sellers
want immediate results, expecting to earn already at the first transaction, while it is
44
Automation Marketing for Willsoor

45. Fig. 30 Pop-up encouraging subscription to the newsletter.Source: Willsoor.pl
the loyal customers that earn us the most. If users come back to the store 3-4 times
a year, one has to draw them back (even at the cost of profit margin) and the income
will grow in time.
With a pop-up, however, one has to be careful. Pop-up can get very frustrating. If
we have many regular subscribed visitors, a pop-up showing up every time they
visit a store can irritate and discourage them. In order to eliminate this, we applied
a proper system of recognizing the returning visitors. The “cookies” saved in the
browser make sure the pop-up will show up only once. We chose a simple, fast and
very effective way to build the list of subscribers.
Welcome e-mail
Welcome e-mail is part of the Life Cycle Marketing described above. For the purposes
of this case study, we shall focus only on the first phase of the relation with a client.
The goal of the welcome e-mail is to convert potential buyers into regular visitors
and encourage a purchase. As far as office workers following a formal dress code
were concerned, we could be pretty sure they would come back and place frequent
orders. The standard of customer service in Willsoor’s e-store is very high and the
products themselves are made in Poland from top quality materials. Because of this,
Automation Marketing for Willsoor
45

46. chances are a lot of new consumers will stay for good, having decided on the first
purchase. That’s why the pop-up and welcome e-mail were supposed to encourage
the potential clients before they change their minds and switch to a rival store.
Each new subscriber got two messages:
• activating
• marketing
According to GIODO standards and the double opt-in rule, the first message was
just asking to confirm the subscription. Of course, two-stage subscription lowers the
new subscribers’ rate but we preferred to make sure we had the right users on the list,
those who truly identified themselves with the Willsoor brand.
Fig. 31 Confirmation of the subscription
46
Automation Marketing for Willsoor

47. The second message was a way to say thank you for subscribing and to inform about
the upcoming newsletters. It contained a discount code to be entered in a cart
when finalizing the purchase. Because of the target group of the brand (35+), we
decided for an infographic showing how to use the coupon. Large call-to-actions
were supposed to encourage the first transaction.

Between April 1, 2012 and June 30, 2012, we achieved the following results

bigger.

Welcome e-mail conversion rate compared
to the store’s average
255% bigger

to the store’s average
317,15 % bigger
The above data confirm the initial thesis that the engaged users are easier to persuade
into making the purchase decision. So they have to be identified and encouraged.
After looking at the above data, we were surprised to discover this much traffic
growth thanks to the welcome e-mail.
It generated as much as 14,07% income, proving to be one of the crucial elements
in the store’s structure. Both conversion rate and single visit value were bigger in the
case of dedicated welcome e-mail than in standard messages. It demonstrates the
potential of Life Cycle Marketing and corroborates the fact that it pays off to get to
the active users first.

for Praktiker Polska
Praktiker is an international chain of DIY markets with locations in over 10 countries.
The first Polish one was built in 1997 in Janki, Warszawa. As for now, there are 24 in
20 cities. For Praktiker Poland, we run a series of e-commerce projects. Below, we
describe the chosen ones.
Recommendation engine
Our cooperation with Praktiker started from implementing Quartic, a recommendation
system, in the e-store Praktiker.pl
Quartic is a system of personalized recommendations for e-business. Testing Quartic
in Praktiker.pl lasted one month, which allowed us to tailor the solution for the
individual needs of our client. Recommendations were presented on the homepage,
on product pages, in the pop-up when adding products to cart and in the cart it self.
A/B test: half of the users (cookie) visiting Praktiker.pl saw recommendations
generated by Quartic, while another half received standard recommendations.
Quartic results:
• 12% increase in sales
• 15% increase in the number of buyers
See more on the Quartic recommendation system at www.quartic.pl.
50

51. E-mail marketing
In a close cooperation between Quartic (recommendations) and Sendingo (e-mail
marketing), we created a unique solution: sending personalized recommendations
based on a user’s shopping history via e-mail. It means that each message contains
a unique content tailored for a given addressee. And the whole process happens
automatically.
Already the first month of pro-active e-mail marketing was enough to show early
positive results. The average value of a single order from an e-mail was over 37%
bigger than the average order value from any other source, which means that e-mail
sells more.
E-mail marketing grounded on a solid contact list (active customers, newsletter
subscribers, loyalty programs participants) becomes effective even after a short time.
Under several conditions: well-balanced (especially as regards the number of e-mails)
communication backed with the appropriate parameters, such as frequency and time
of mailings, engaging content, professional design and the right segmentation of the
addressees. The above data allow us to stay optimistic as far as supporting Praktiker.
pl in the future is concerned.
ROPO
A positive side effect of the e-mail marketing for Praktiker.pl is also, without a doubt,
the ROPO effect, whose definition is put in the “Cross-Industry ROPO Effect Survey”
by Divante:
“The ROPO effect (Research Online, Purchase Offline) describes a shopping behavior
when a user searches for information about the product in the Internet and then
purchases the product offline, in a real store.”
Based on the number of times the users check products’ availability in stock, we
can estimate a clear ROPO effect intensification – on average, by 2,5 times after our
multichannel action called “Everything 20% Cheaper”. Apart from e-mail marketing,
we used television, outdoor and promotion on the website.
Thanks to solid contact base, well-planned mailing strategies and high quality e-mail
designs, we reached over 27% opened messages rate, which is a rarity in the world
of e-mail marketing.
Of course, these statistics also mean that the number of orders placed online and
in real stores increased, as well as the cart value. It is also worth to compare two
different examples of mailing campaigns. The first one, “Praktikomania”, was sent to
the registered e-store customers who had agreed to receive promotional messaged,
while the other one, “Lighting gallery”, was dedicated for the newsletter subscribers.
Complex e-Commerce Service for Praktiker Polska
51

52. Needless to say, more than 50% of the second group opened the e-mails, which once
again point to newsletter subscribers as the most cooperative group as regards the
effects per message.
The share of e-mail marketing in the total income generated by the online channel
reached 11,45%. The value of a visit prompted by e-mail marketing increased by
51,01% compared to an average visit.
Unique product descriptions
Divante continued to prepare dedicated and original product descriptions for all the
items sold in Praktiker.pl
Only within a month since the first descriptions had been published, the Google
search traffic oriented at certain keywords increased by 120%. Sales of products with
new, unique descriptions tripled. Additionally, 33% of total sales come from SEO.
Complex e-marketing
The successes mentioned above encouraged both parties to enter a
continuous cooperation in online campaigns. Ideacto interactive agency
supports e-marketing communication based on the character of Maciek
Gajwer.
Ideacto is responsible for e-marketing and social media marketing:
• Blog – maciekgajwer.pl
• Facebook – facebook.com/MaciekGajwer
• Pinterest – pinterest.com/maciekgajwer
• YouTube channel – yooutube.com/user/PraktikerPolska
The secret of the character’s success lies in his skillfulness and positive life view. The
communication is founded on a concept of giving the brand’s fans useful DIY tips. A
lot of attention was paid to the blog, which was packed with a whole “kit” of practical
“tools”, such as guides, checklists or instructions, helping even the beginners to
master the basics of DIY.

Testimonials
In my opinion, there are two basic things that differ Divante from other partners that
I have worked with before.
First of all: passion. The people who I’ve had a pleasure to work with are experts in
the field of both Polish and international e-commerce, always looking for new tools,
trends and the best examples.
What is more – and this is another thing that I appreciate so much – they are eager
to share their knowledge and passion, with full engagement, to help companies like
Praktiker develop their online retail channels.
But most importantly, everything is planned to achieve the final goal – i.e. increase of
sales and the return of investment. That is why for me, working with Divante follows
the „win-win” model. They know that their client’s success is their own success, too.

for bdsklep.pl
Bdsklep.pl is an online hypermarket from Białystok, Poland. It offers 10 thousand
products of renowned products from Poland and Europe – mainly FMCG, supplied
automatically. The reason the e-store decided to enter into cooperation with Divante
and Sendingo was to increase sales. To build loyalty of the customers we used
newsletter as a little-invasive form of marketing communication, ideal to present
the dynamically changing offer.
Planning and strategy
Before it was commissioned to us, the store had been doing some e-mail marketing,
at a small scale. Our task was to intensify the efforts and customers’ engagement,
and also to teach the store’s team how to plan and run effective e-mail marketing
campaigns.
We proceeded according to the “stair strategy”of e-mail marketing which means the
advanced solutions shall not be introduced before the elementary works had been
done. Experience teaches that those are the small, simple elements and actions (title
catch-phrase, call to action, simple design) that improve the results form mailings –
each time one step up.
Building the list of subscribers
When building the list, we followed the rule of “permission marketing.” Only the
store’s visitors were encouraged to subscribe because they are prone to buy more–
so the campaign should focus on them. We used some proven methods:
55

56. • pop-up with discount for first shopping,
• pro-newsletter website encouraging to fill in the newsletter’s subscription form in
all the key spots.
Fig. 36 A design for bdsklep.pl newsletter
56
E-mail marketing for bdsklep.pl

57. Newsletter promocyjny
We sent the promotional newsletter following the best practices since the efficiency of e-mail marketing depends on:
• a well-matched title,
• clear layout,
• proper coding of the message and converting the graphic design to HTML/
CSS,
• the right call-to-action.
Meeting all the above demands guarantees better delivery rate, open rate and CTR.
Because bdsklep.pl had not been measuring the delivery rate, we could not compare
the results of the previous and the improved versions of newsletter. The analysis of
statistics of the first “improved” mailings indicated that we should delete some of the
addresses – the list of subscribers had not been updated for a long time.
Searching for the most effective methods
E-mail marketing, apart from increasing brand awareness, helped target the customers in the real time,in the so-called “ready-to-buy –mode,” in their individual shopping cycles. The high frequency of mailing helped to sift for the active shoppers each
time. Had they received no e-mail at the right time, they would not have place orders
or they would have buy elsewhere.
Comparing results of the single mailings proved that their effectiveness differs. The
biggest popularity was granted to newsletters with ad paper, while the biggest sales
force was free delivery (Tab. 1).
Clicks
Income
Mailing with ad paper
+ 226%

Tab. 1 Greater efficiency of e-mails with ad paper and free delivery as compared to standard

E-mail marketing for bdsklep.pl
57

58. Despite the fact that the ad papers are treated like rubbish, they still invoke positive
connotations: ad paper = lower prices. Free delivery ensures the clients that they do
not pay extra money for delivery when shopping online, which is especially important
in the case of FMCG-type of products, bought regularly.
All the mailings included „product of the day”. Even if such a product is offered at
a lower price, it brings income. First, the offer is just for one day – which enhances
making the purchase here and now. Second, it enhances cross-selling – its lower price
makes the customers add other products to compensate for the delivery price if it’s
not free.
Post-Christmas crisis
At some point in the project we started to fear that right after Christmas sales would
drastically fall, just like it had happened in the previous years. During this period the
customers are less eager to shop (because they have plenty of food from Christmas
and their budgets cut-down by the Christmas gifts).
To reduce the risk, bdsklep.pl organized an attractive promotion right after the New
Year. The customers were informed via newsletter. The effect was sales increase by
80,2% - compared to the most effective newsletters with ad papers and free delivery.

Late purchase
Google Analytics and newsletter statistics showed that half of the customers eagerly
clicks on the mailings but does not buy anything. But, it turned out that their shopping cycle lasts longer. Having browsed the offer, they may want to consult their decision with someone else (e.g. husband or children). Or maybe they were interested
in the bargain price of a product but they had lots of food in stock, which postponed
their purchase. E-mail marketing had a very big impact both on direct and indirect
sales – direct and sponsored conversion had very similar effects.

In Google Analytics, ca. 15% of the income comes from the source named „none”/
direct which has statistics parallel to the results generated by the users visiting the
store via mailings. Unfortunately, Google does not make analysis easy and keeps
that information for itself. It can only be guessed that a big portion of this is the
newsletter’s subscribers.
Effectiveness of the newsletter in FMCG industry
Comparing income sources in the store proved that e-mail marketing is the most
effective form of communication with the customers in online delis and hypermarkets.

number of pages per visit and the visit time is visibly lower. The conclusion may be
that the users clicking on the e-mail are highly-aware consumers. When entering the
website, they are purchase-oriented, which is why they spend much more time on it,
are more eager to add products to cart and buy more often than visitors from other
sources.

61. Product descriptions
for vitalab.pl
The owner of VitaLab.pl is the American company Natural Labs LLC which has
been an expert in distributing high-class natural cosmetics worldwide, for years. Its
international scope means access to the best offer of the producers – which is how
they give the Polish consumers access to a carefully selected offer of top quality
products, available in other European countries, also USA.
Why have we decided on cooperation?
In the times of the crazy Panda and Penguin – Google algorithms promoting quality
content – creating unique content in e-stores becomes more and more important.
Most often, it means creating original (non-copied) product descriptions. Such
descriptions positively influence e-commerce, in two ways. First, their uniqueness
is welcome by Google which makes the store and its products naturally promoted
as “long tail” in SERPs. To sum up, quality descriptions= bigger traffic from SEO.
Second, adequate descriptions sell more. To achieve that, they should have unique
character. So, we use the so-called “language of benefits” and proper content
arrangement to make it easier for the users to scan the text.
In the case of vitalab.pl, its owners did a good job as well as SEO and unique
descriptions were concerned because their generated substantial traffic. But the
problem was unclear content layout and wrong use of sales phrases.
61

62. Goals and realization
We started from tests to verify our predictions as to the unclear nature and low
persuasiveness of the descriptions. On a group of products, we prepared new
content and through Visual Website Optimizer, we performed A/B tests to determine
which texts (ours or the client’s) worked better.
Just to clear out: the A/B tests are tests that compare and indicate which version is
better. In this case, we showed old and new descriptions. The traffic was normalized
to make the survey authentic. The tests took 1 month.
We analyzed three aspects:
• placing an order (conversion rate),
• adding a product to the cart,
• performing an action on the website.

63. Effects
Vitalab.pl offers top-quality products and this is what we wanted to show in the descriptions. Knowing that the users scan the text instead of reading it, we formatted
descriptions in such a way as to make it easier for the users to find the key words and
aspects that drove them to buying. The tests proved our predictions right, the new
texts clearly improved the results. Let’s take a closer look:

10,93%

The new descriptions proved to work better with each of the above goals. The rate
of the products added to the cart and the conversion rate grew by ca. 19%, while the
engagement grew by 3%. What is equally important, summing up the whole work,
ROI was as follows:
ROI = income/cost x 100%
It reached 2723% in only a month.
To sum up, the conclusions are obvious: it pays off to invest in the unique content in
a store because it considerably increases sales. It is worth noticing that this is a single
investment whose effect will last in the subsequent months.

64. Testimonials and effects
We want to use our position of a leader in traditional commerce to become a key
online player in the future. We have selected Divante and Ideacto as partners to
outsource e-commerce services so that we do not disperse our main selling force
outside the traditional channel which generates the majority of profits. Of course,
we’re interested in systematic increase of income from the modern channel but we
don’t want to hire a whole bunch of e-commerce specialists.
