Hinweis der Redaktion
- Backstory on Gonz, details of his entrepreneurial background and history of competitive wrestling. Discussion of the journey from the world of Fortune 500 Consulting to the custom apparel business.
- Discussion of how the business was founded with no safety net and relied completely on word-of-mouth advertising.Learned early on that customer satisfaction was the key to growing the business and keeping the lights on.Talk about the growth of BC from the ‘2 guys in the garage’ days to the multiple expansions and current trajectory.
- Discussion of the focus of the business, how we got started, and what our primary target markets are.May make mention of how there was no retail business initially, how it was added to better serve the market.
- Overview of our retail offerings on BCW.com and via events.Lifestyle apparel is the fastest growing segments currently. Maybe talk about t-shirt Tuesday promotions?
- Discussion of our ideal customer being someone who is active in the wrestling community and can act as an advocate for both a) additional retail sales and b) influencing coaches to generate team business and establish new relationships with coaches / administrators.
- Strong brand presence built up over more than 10 years of doing 100 – 150 live events every year around the country.Good recognition of the brand, especially in the wrestling community where people refer to “Blue Chip” singlets.We noticed that the bulk of our web search traffic comes from people entering variations on the brand name, and wanted to figure out a way to use that as a lever to help INCREASE our conversions and DECREASE our customer acquisition costs.We don’t have a lot of bounces, but there are a significant number of “browsers” that visit BCW.com and are currently not known to us.We also wanted to see what we could do to really light a fire under those vocal parents and fans by giving them a truly white glove experience.
- Also incredibly effective – if you do nothing else do this!Discuss how simple variations on this theme were largely responsible for the success that let us to the stage in 2013.This whole process is based more on our schedule than the schedule of the customer, and this basic pre and post purchase follow up has become commonplace enough to be expected and easily ignored by the typical online shopper.
- Had to recognize the offer, click on it, and go to the page.## Is it possible to determine what the conversion rate was for this old page? ##
- Review the goals and talk about how we tailored the version 2 approach to address them.Whereas in the past the default action was definitely not to opt in, and only a small percentage of customers ever made it to the lead capture form, we wanted the new version to be impossible to ignoreWe wanted to provide a stronger offer and value exchange to get the individual to give us their contact info and consent to the initial marketing barrageWe wanted to do something unexpected to make ourselves stand out from other ‘digital-only’ online stores, and especially from our competitors in the wrestling market.
- Top section is the lead capture and free gift fulfillmentBottom section is the post purchase follow up with the VIP upgradesWe’ll go through each one of these in detail.
- Built in A/B testingCountless templates to choose from, sorted by historical conversion performance
- This page uses a 2-step opt in form.The theory behind the 2-step form is that it creates less fear of commitment for someone to see a button vs. form fields. Once they’re comfortable and have made the emotional investment to click the button, they are asked for their name and email and given more details about the offer.Tested a few versions of this form with a male vs. female model, different button colors, different text, but this has consistently done the best.
- Javascript + cookies determine whether or not the user should be shown the welcome gate.The first time they see it, a cookie is placed on their machine so they won’t see it again until we decide enough time has expired or want to change the offer
- Pre-fill email and any other known information about the contact.Offer to send free bumper sticker if they provide their mailing address
- Pre-fill email and any other known information about the contact.Offer to send free bumper sticker if they provide their mailing address
- The sub-$1 investment gives us a totally legitimate reason to follow up with the contact between 3 and 5 additional times after they provide us with their name and email:An email thanking them for signing up and delivering the promised discount informationA ‘checking in’ message to make sure they didn’t have any technical issues with the coupon code if they don’t buy within 3 days of getting the codeA ‘did you want that sticker’ message if they happen to complete step one but not step 2 of the formThe actual sticker that comes in a stamped envelope along with a letter that asks them to take pictures of their bumper sticker to post them on our FB wallA follow up email that says ‘just checking in’ to make sure they got the stickerThe ‘mail sticker’ sequence includes a fullfillment report that is used with a merge template to print a customized letter and the address labels.
- This slide is used to detail the specific things we do in order to encourage the referral behavior.There are a lot of places to shop online, in order to stand out we need to give them a “WOW” experience that they’ll remember the next time they are around the other wrestling moms.
- Details of how we initiate the VIP sequence
- Show the task assigned to internal reps with details of customer history, shipment and order information.This is all pulled in via the API when the task is created.
- CSR can enter comments, and customize a follow up email to the customer. If they leave a voicemail a “Sorry I missed you” email is automatically triggered.They have the ability to merge in personalizing comments to the post-call email.
- Anyone who rates a 2, 1, or says they will not order again gets a task assigned for personal follow-up.
- Do something to spice up these testimonials a bit visually…
- We have a lot of repeat buyers, so to avoid making it painfully obvious to them that the follow up is automated, we have different paths for those that have ordered once, twice, three times, or four or more.Additionally, there are nudges at 6 months and 10 months to get any customers that have not yet made a repeat purchase to come back and shop with us.
