The Challenge
Established in 1989, WBC is the UK's largest supplier of hamper, dell and drinks packaging to independent retailers. The company's website is its main business generation tool, promoting their range of 850 products. WBC was keen to understand how web traffic interacted with the site, and where potential improvements could be made. The company wanted to redesign their e-commerce site and increase the number of sales it generates. However, they faced challenges in understanding visitor interaction with the site and ensuring accurate Google Analytics implementation for solid data analysis.
About The Customer
WBC is the UK's largest supplier of hamper, dell and drinks packaging to independent retailers. Established in 1989, the company has a range of 850 products that it promotes through its website, which is its main business generation tool. The company was keen to redesign their e-commerce site and increase the number of sales it generates. They wanted to understand how web traffic interacted with the site, and where potential improvements could be made. They sought the help of Periscopix, a search engine marketing agency, to achieve these goals.
The Solution
WBC's search engine marketing agency, Periscopix, conducted an in-depth implementation audit and set up site search, event tracking and goals. They performed site analysis and used advanced segments to identify new and returning visitors, and to understand how their behaviors differ. They found that a high conversion rate for loyal customers was hiding a very low conversion rate for users completely new to WBC. Periscopix proposed changes to the homepage, showcasing the range of products stocked by WBC and imposing a sense of authority in the marketplace. They ran an A/B test on the homepage for three months, which resulted in a 2.2% increase in homepage engagement and a boost to the e-commerce conversion rate by 12.2%.
Operational Impact
  • Following the implementation of the changes proposed by Periscopix, WBC saw a 2.2% increase in homepage engagement.
  • The e-commerce conversion rate increased by 12.2%.
  • WBC committed to redesigning the website, with the homepage variation proposed by Periscopix forming the cornerstone of this new structure.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 2.2% improvement in homepage engagement
  • 12.2% increase in e-commerce conversion rate
