In this week’s podcast, we spoke to Joris Bryon, co-founder of dexter.agency, the conversion optimisation specialists.
Joris and his team help e-commerce companies increase revenue through a combination of conversion optimisation and A/B testing.
Joris’ recent publication ‘Kill Your Conversion Killers with The Dexter Method™ – A Pragmatic Approach to Conversion Optimization for E-commerce’ passes on his expertise so that you too can kill your conversion killers.
In the interview, Sean and Joris discuss a range of topics, including:
- How there’s more to increasing revenue for e-commerce websites than simply increasing traffic- not all traffic is equal.
- Why continually redesigning your website might seem like a good idea, but can often be counterproductive.
- The red button/green button theory and why the colour isn’t the most important factor in increasing your conversions, but the contrast and the size.
- A/B testing might be an essential element of conversion optimisation, but it isn’t the first or most important test, especially for low-level traffic sites.
- How often you might expect to find a winning combination when you’re running tests on methods to increase your conversions and how using a process, like the Dexter Method, can be a much more efficient way of testing.
- The potential dangers of following ‘best practises’ for e-commerce website optimisation- every site is different. This means that it’s important to find what works for your business, and that directly copying your competitors can be a bad idea.
- Getting people to convert can be about psychology. But before going there, there are some typical aspects of your site that should be assessed first, such as accessibility and usability.
- How big an impact design has on CRO, and how some elements of your homepage, such as sliders and video backgrounds can do more damage than good to conversion rates.
- What is micro-copy and why is it so important? Expedia saw a $12 million profit increase due to one micro change.
- An overview of the Dexter Method for CRO and its key steps: collect your data, execute the changes based on this data, test these changes, evaluate the changes, repeat. Joris explains the value of each step in this method.
