Is Flavia going to help us get some x’s, o’s and some !’s?

It’s time for another special ConversionCast compliments of our friends at Flavia. We look at the three strategies that will make or break an eCommerce site:

• Categories
• Product Pages
• Checkout Process

We also take a hard look at their Home page.

Flavia has one thing going for them: they have metrics installed. In fact, they are double covered with metrics from Omniture Site Catalyst and Google Analytics. This means they know if a change will make a difference in their sales.
