  • When a prospective client decided not to sign on with us, it's often because they have decided to tackle the "quick fixes" or "low hanging fruit" on their own, and then come back to work with us on the more complicated issues.

    While this can save you money in the short-term, it often ends up holding your business back and, in some cases, causing more problems. It's not uncommon for brands to try the "do it yourself" approach for a month or two and then come back to us looking for help, because they aren't seeing results or they've unintentionally made things worse.

    In this episode, we talk about the downside of DIY conversion optimization and suggest an alternative approach that can help protect both your budget and your long-term business performance.

  • Product descriptions are one of the highest potential, lowest investment optimizations an ecommerce manager can make. Which makes it even more disappointing that they are treated as an afterthought by so many brands.

    A good product description doesn't just describe your product, its features, and its specifications. It qualifies customers and helps the best ones immediately know that your product can meet their needs, which leads to higher conversions and lower returns.

    In this episode, we go into more detail about what the best product descriptions have in common, and provide you with a framework for refreshing your own product descriptions to improve their sales performance.

  • If you are seriously considering conversion optimization as part of your ecommerce growth strategy, you will quickly learn that having a good hypothesis is a critical part of any successful test.

    A good hypothesis will ensure that you are running a test for a valid reason, not just a guess or a hunch. It also makes your testing approach much more scientific, which gives you more confidence that the results you get from your test are results you can be confident in.

    At The Good, we believe a strong hypothesis should do three things...

    Respond to an established challenge.Propose a specific solution. State the assumed and measurable impact.

    If your hypothesis doesn't address each of these elements, you put yourself at risk for heading down the wrong path or wasting time running tests that don't help you make a confident decision, because of inaccurate or incomplete data.

    In this episode, we go into more detail about why we have identified these three must-have components of testing hypotheses, and how you can make sure that your internal tests satisfy each of these requirements.
