Satisfaction with Online Conversion drops to All-time Low

New RedEye and Econsultancy report finds just 25% of marketers are satisfied with online conversion, with satisfaction dropping by 5% in one year

Shenley Wood, Milton Keynes, October 25, 2011 - Findings from the new Conversion Rate Optimization Report 2011 from RedEye & Econsultancy show most companies are not happy with their online conversion rate. Just 25% say they are satisfied and, worryingly, this figure is dropping. Similarly, there has been a 5% drop in conversion rate improvement in just 12 months.

As the world of digital becomes more competitive, and more tools and methods are introduced, it seems it is becoming harder to improve conversion rates. What this new research is showing, is while companies are implementing more methods, it not so much what you do, but how you do it that counts.

Dissatisfaction with conversion is a growing problem, yet companies are slow on the uptake. Mark Patron, CEO at RedEye explains: “This research shows there are major opportunities for key executives to focus on the bottom line – generating business – it’s just not being done effectively. With a clear CRO (conversion rate optimisation) strategy and best practice procedures in place, and implemented intelligently, companies can see a serious uplift in sales. Just a few per cent improvement in conversion makes a significant difference to revenues generated.

“What we have learnt is people and processes are key. This report highlights just how important employing a structured process is. Companies that had a structured approach to conversion were twice as likely to have seen a large increase in sales. Yet only 31% had a structured process – a major reason satisfaction is so low.”

Coupled to this low satisfaction is the fact that 54% of marketers don’t target basket abandoners at all. Having spent significant budget driving traffic to their site, the majority of ecommerce brands are ignoring these so-nearly-customers. The stats are clear: 70% of companies who target abandoners have increased sales.

In addition, brands are not adapting to the different communication channels. 84% of companies are not designing their marketing emails for mobile devices, and 70% are not designing their websites for mobile either. In this fast growing segment, particularly in retail, tablets and handhelds should not be ignored.

Econsultancy Research Director, Linus Gregoriadis, said: "Satisfaction rates may be decreasing partly because there is a greater awareness within businesses about the opportunities they may be missing without the right tools and processes in place. Companies will need to increasingly focus on improving conversion rates during 2012, by ensuring they have a structured approach to online optimisation to improve the bottom line. 

"The tools for gathering insight and for carrying out tests are becoming more user-friendly and accessible, but organisations must have the right knowledge and expertise around CRO to complement this, both in-house or within their agencies."

Mark Patron adds: “Companies need to act to confront conversion rates head-on, develop an optimisation strategy or they will see rates dropping further. It’s a real competitive advantage for today’s marketers – get it right and you will make a lot more money from your website,”.

Having run this report for three years, and using its extensive industry experience, RedEye regularly sees companies with increasingly sophisticated ecommerce operations. This produces a flood of customer data that is ever more difficult to interpret. That is why a clear strategy is essential to enable them to prioritise the key areas to focus on to meet their conversion objectives.

Deluxe Womens Robes Announced 25% Price Break for October 21-23 Weekend!

Deluxe Womens Robes has today announced the 25 per cent price break on all women’s robes this weekend

Beaverton, OR, October 25, 2011 - Deluxe Womens Robes has today announced the 25 per cent price break on all women’s robes this weekend (October 21-23).

“The sale price includes free shipping, but unfortunately this only applies for USA residents,” said Paul, claiming that even though almost every woman owns at least one robe, most would enjoy receiving one as a present.

‘With our limited price break promotion, we are effectively offering you, especially our men folks, a great opportunity to provide their girlfriends or wives a fantastic thick and warm, light and cool, casual or smart bathrobe gift set for the Christmas,” she added.

Bathrobes can be used for different reasons at different times, and with so many varied colors, fabrics and designs to choose from, there is a robe for almost any occasion.

“And although most of us own more than one, you can never own too many. Whether you are buying womens robes for yourself or buying one as a present for someone you know, we have available some great styles n women’s robes,” noted Paul.

The hooded bathrobe, according to Paul, has no equal on cold nights. “As a winter-time gift, it is a perfect choice that the wearer can use in the bedroom or bathroom. And after those swims in the chilly months this is the perfect robe to slip into,” she noted.

On the other hand, ballerina womens robes can double as gown or put on over a swim suit around the pool. These robes, which come in different styles, are lighter and shorter than the hooded robe, but perfect for a summer-time gift.

What about full-length women’s robes? According to Paul, everyone is practically familiar with these robes, which are made thick or light material they are long and come with a matching belt made from the same fabric as the robe itself. This is tied around the waist to close the robe. It is very versatile and most women own at least one robe like this.

Looking for that special Christmas gift item? Counter question: Why not give a bathrobe set as a gift? ‘The robe is a great gift idea for many reasons and is nearly always the right present to give. “Whether it is a going away present, a birthday present or simply a gift to a special lady, chances are that it will be appreciated,” she said.

However, should you decide to give someone a gift in the form of a bathrobe, take some time to find out what the lady’s favorite color is, or whether she owns one like the one you have chosen.

You also need to determine that the one you give is one she will like and have occasion to wear.

Critics Rave About "No Innocent Affair"

Reviewer says, “This book offers no excuses, nor apologies, but gives the truth of the Word of God. This book is truly a blessing to the body of Christ and to all who read it.”

Marengo, IL, October 25, 2011 - Award winning Christian author’s newest book,"No Innocent Affair: Making Right the Wrong of Adultery," is receiving nothing but glowing and growing praise for tackling head-on the seldom openly discussed issue of adultery.

Author Edward Mrkvicka is a lay minister and counselor, and life-long Bible student. His religious writings have been awarded Best Christian Book of the Year, Best Christian Study of the Year, named a National Best Book Awards finalist, and a winner in the Christian Choice Book Awards. He has also been awarded the prestigious Faith Writers Seal of Approval. His efforts on behalf of families, the understanding of adultery, and the devastating effect of divorce on children has earned him a United States Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition.

"No Innocent Affair" is being called “powerful -- very special -- highly recommended -- 5 of 5 stars -- fascinating -- a must read.”

Reviewer Brian Knight says, “Edward’s passion for the Lord and Christian love for everyone is on full display. This self proclaimed ‘connect-the-dots’ kind of guy hopes to help people know the Lord’s commands and laws as He describes them in the Bible. He accomplishes this through his experience as a lay minister and avid student of the Bible. With each passing page, it is virtually impossible not to reflect on your relationship with your loved ones and, more importantly, the Lord.”

Christian Book Reviews says, “This book offers no excuses, nor apologies, but gives the truth of the Word of God. This book is truly a blessing to the body of Christ and to all who read it.”

Mrkvicka states that his intention in writing the book was to explain the real cost of adultery to everyone it touches -- not only the innocent victims of adultery, but the adulterer as well, as ultimately he alone will be held accountable for his selfishness. “That said, the Bible gives us a step-by-step progression, explained in my book, that will heal everyone, and allow the adulterer to rejoin God’s family and his own. The biblical truth is, God has lovingly given adulterers a way to reclaim their lost salvation. But it is up to us to repent and accept His unmerited grace.”

"No Innocent Affair" is available at major retail chains and on www.Amazon.com.

Brisbane Liposuction Introduced New Ultrasonic Procedure for Greater Precision!

Brisbane Liposuction, Australia’s leading liposuction provider, has today announced it now has a new and safer ultrasound assisted procedure that allow patients to see the immediate results and with very little effort on their part.

Brisbane, Queensland, October 24, 2011 - “Having excess fat is usually frowned upon in the papers, on television, and of course, in fashion magazines - and because of this, the Brisbane Liposuction specialists have upped the ante with it’s newly acquired ultrasound assisted liposuction procedure,” said Paul, head of the Australian-based liposuction provider.

“I mean, it’s no crime to be fat,” Paul added.

For many people, however, it’s just the fact of life that they have fat cells that will not get smaller, no matter what they do. No matter the amount of exercise they do and the diet that they go on, Paul, believed that these fat cells will not budge, as in most cases, these impenetrable fat cells are attributed to heredity.

As a result, the Brisbane liposuction provider has answered the cries for help from such unfortunate victims who desperately want to remove the extra fat and to get the shape that everyone seems to be dying over on the television and in the magazines.

According to the Brisbane Liposuction spokesperson, the areas of the body most often treated with the new ultrasound liposuction procedure are the abdomen, the hips, buttocks, face, and the thighs. “And during ultrasonic liposuction, fat removal is carried out by sound waves produced by a generator, which transmit through a thin, vacuum-like conduit, known as a ‘cannula’. On making contact, the cannula destroys and liquefies the fat cells so that they can be easily be sucked out,” explained Paul.

As opposed to going the traditional route of tummy tuck (abdominoplasty surgery) and body lifts meant to get rid of excess and baggy skin, ultrasonic liposuction offers greater benefits in the process of fat removal. Among them are the ability to treat areas that have greater fat density and the removal of a greater volume of fat at one go.

“Additionally, ultrasonic liposuction has a far greater advantage as it relates to the tightening up of the skin during the process. The Brisbane Ultrasonic Liposuction procedure, however, is usually used subsequent to tumescent liposuction as a “tune-up procedure’ because it allows for greater precision,” added the Brisbane Ultrasonic Liposuction specialist,” noted Paul.

However, it is important to note as you consider doing liposuction, that the procedure should only remove fat and not cellulite.

Other factors to look into and do before you have a liposuction done, said Paul, you need to be sure you are told how to prepare yourself for before the surgery done. “Before having a Brisbane Liposuction, you first need to have a consultation with your surgeon to see whether you are a viable candidate, and what to expect at the end of the surgery,” Paul said.

The Brisbane Liposuction procedure based on the type of liposuction that you will be having, you will be happy to know that the results are very permanent.

“Should you regain weight in the future it will never be in the same area you had carried out the liposuction. However, to keep your new shape intact, you will need to follow a strict diet and exercise regime and you will never gain regain weight after your Brisbane liposuction,” noted Paul.

Brisbane Plumber Drainage Cost-Saving Tips!

Whatever the drainage problem you encounter, as householders it is always advisable to leave the job to the expert and not try to “do-it-yourself”, says Brisbane Plumber Drainage expert Paul.

Brisbane, Queensland, October 24, 2011 - According to Paul, professional plumbers are well-equipped with the right tools and knowledge in dealing with blocked drainage or any other conceivable problems you encounter with you’re likely to encounter with your drainage system.

“From sky-high buildings in well-developed urban places to regular private homes, a drainage system is always is always installed to systematically managed waste water, and if it is not managed properly are abused, then expensive problems will surface,” said Paul.

In light of householders’ systematic abuse of their drainage system, the Brisbane Plumbers has offered the following tips to help guide them in hiring a plumber to eliminate their drainage problems:

1. Brisbane Plumber Drainage Tip # 1: Access your pipeline problem…

Assessing your exact drainage problem will not only save you a lot of money, but it can also make the whole fixing process faster. How? Although there’s really no clear differentiation between an expert plumber and a regular plumber, minor pipeline problems are best left to a regular plumber because of their affordability in their service fee. For complicated and serious drainage work, however, an expert plumber is more reliable to hire than amateurs. Their hiring service fee may be higher, but their works are less likely to fail, which can spare you from another distraught situation and the possibility of calling them back

2. Brisbane Plumber Drainage Tip #2: Always take your time; never rush…

One of the most common problems house owners tend to do when their house drainage is causing them severe headache is they tend to rush. As a result, the plumber serviceman they usually hire are either not fully-qualified or the services they provide are not that reliable. An expensive service fee does not also guarantee quality work. Also, before you decide to hire their service, always ask for a quote first and get a written estimate how much the repair will exactly cost you. This way, you’ll already have an idea just how much exactly their repair service is going to cost you.

3. Brisbane Plumber Drainage Tip #3: Do they provide free plumbing after service…

Believe it or not, even at the hands of a professional plumber, their work is still not that guaranteed to be full proof. Although it only happens rarely, it is very important to inquire if they provide a free plumbing after service should their repairing service fail. While some drainage repair company’s offer this for free, most still charge a fee. So always remember to ask this to your Brisbane Plumber Drainage provider when still on the phone.

Brisbane Plumber is all about giving service to their clients. “When you contract us to do your work, whether it is to fix a leaking tap, installing a new water heater, repairing blocked drains – no matter the problem, we at Brisbane Plumber gives you 100 customer satisfaction, or your money back, no question asked,” said Paul.

Alternative investment advisers Alternative Asset Analysis have announced new research showing that the global green economy was already worth £3.2 trillion by 2008/2009 - which should prompt more interest in alternative and ethical investments.

Boston, MA, October 24, 2011 - The global green economy was already worth £3.2 trillion by 2008/2009, according to new research. This should prompt more interest in alternative and ethical investments, according Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

The alternative investment advocacy group has responded to the findings from the UK government-sponsored research by Innovas Solutions. The findings of the investigation concluded that the renewable energy sector alone is valued at around £940 billion, while alternative fuels are worth £1.45 trillion.

“The money to be made from investing in green projects is enormous,” stated AAA’s analysis partner Anthony Johnson. AAA is a supporter of green investments and backs sustainable forestry projects, such as those run by firms like Greenwood Management in Brazil, and impact investment opportunities that help provide vital funding for social projects in the developing world.

AAA claim that alternative ethical investments are becoming increasingly attractive to people for several reasons. They are becoming more aware of their environment and the need to invest in the green economy to protect the environment and reduce climate change, while also being acutely aware of the volatility of more traditional assets, such as stocks and shares.

The research helped to remind environmentalists of the major causes of climate change, finding that the production of fossil fuels accounts for the majority of carbon emissions, while providing between 81 and 90 per cent of the world’s energy needs.

Mr Johnson added, “It’s clear that we all still have along way to go to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. In the meantime, investing in forestry projects that reduce deforestation can help to control carbon emissions thanks to the carbon sequestration value of forests.”

Investing in forestry can also help communities reap the rewards available through carbon trading and the wider carbon market.

Attorney Karen Lundquist Offers Online Legal English Courses on Employment Law

International Students Learn Effective Negotiation & Arbitration Skills Virtually

Minneapolis, MN, October 24, 2011 - Minneapolis business attorney and tenured legal Engish professor, Karen Lundquist, announces the availability of Global E-Learning courses on employment law and negotiation techniques, as well as various other legal English topics. Areas of the law addressed include wrongful employment terminations, non-competition agreement violations, intellectual property, misappropriation of trade secrets and more. The next course is scheduled to begin in January 2012. Full details and sign-up information are available at KarenLundquist.com.

Carefully designed virtual classrooms and syllabi accommodate students and their needs to develop legal English vocabulary as well as powerful negotiation skills in areas of the law that pertain to their given careers. International students benefit from courses which are designed on real-life fact patterns. Mimicking scenarios encountered in worldwide courtrooms and conference rooms, students represent fictitious clientele and engage in:

* Mock settlement negotiations;

* Client interviews;

* Interpretation of case files;

* Dispute arbitration;

* More...

By acting as attorneys, students encounter opportunities to use the technical legal English vocabulary terms they have been studying and need for their profession. At the same time, they hone their lawyering skills that they use when practicing law in their native tongues. Karen states, "The important fact about these courses is not necessarily the topic, such as employment law or intellectual property, but that they revolve around real-life fact patterns with correspondence, affidavits and other documents that an attorney would deal with if working in a real law firm."

To further simulate the authenticity of real life courtroom situations and negotiations, students are also able to initiate "break-out sessions", time periods where they can have confidential discussions in private before returning to the main classroom where the negotiation or arbitration is taking place. Karen concludes, "This course is important and useful because it gives participants chances to learn in the best way possible: by doing."

About Karen Lundquist: Karen Lundquist is a multilingual business attorney who owns the Attenza Law Firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is also a veteran professor of English, serving for two decades as a cultured, caring instructor. She specializes in training professionals from various legal realms in developing specific legal-based vocabulary sets that are integral for their abilities to perform an array of spoken career duties.

White Paper Helps OEMs Choose Application-Specific Intelligent Servo Motors

Functional and economic factors to be considered in choosing integral control and fieldbus enabled brushless servo motors discussed in new Dunkermotor white paper.

Elgin, IL, October 22, 2011 - Brushless servo motors with integrated motion control electronics continue to expand into new factory automation and specialty machinery applications based on their ease of installation, compact size and the reduction in cost compared to separate drives, connectors and cabling. Cost-conscious OEMs, however, will benefit from not specifying and purchasing more control features and functionality than their applications require. A new White Paper from Dunkermotor identifies and discusses seven distinct integral control topologies to enable OEM design engineers to choose what suits their application without over-specifying.

Today's technology brings servo manufacturers many options when it comes to designing their motor drives and controls. "With all the different possible functions that can be implemented in a servo drive, many manufacturers are tempted to pack them all into one 'full-featured' product," said Jay Becker, senior applications engineer for Dunkermotor. "This can be a problem, however, for the OEM when it comes time to select the right one for their application."

In the case of the end-user or custom machine builder, they may prefer to have a "does everything" drive that they can use in all of their applications, most of which can be different from one to the next. OEMs, on the other hand, cannot afford unnecessary features and hardware if they are to remain market competitive. Therefore, the OEM requires a servo drive with features that are tailored to the application at a price tailored according to those features.

The new Dunkermotor White Paper discusses seven different levels of capability of integrated servo motor and drive combinations, ranging from simple integrated commutation electronics to fieldbus distributed control arrangements, such as CANopen, Profibus and EtherCAT, all the way to motors with integrated master electronics which require no higher level controller, are freely programmable and can also control slave node motors.

Servo motors with integrated electronics increase reliability due to the close proximity of the drive/control electronics to the motor itself, virtually eliminating the possibility of interference from the outside world. Having the electronics inside the motor also dramatically reduces the panel space for a given machine, saving cost in materials as well as time in wiring.

The new White Paper, titled "Why Pay for More Than You Need?" may be downloaded from the Dunkermotor website at http://www.dunkermotor.com/whitepaper/whypaymore.

Headquartered in Elgin, Illinois, Dunkermotor is the North American sales, technical support and logistics subsidiary of Dunkermotoren GmbH, for 60 years the world market leader in customized, configurable sole-source fractional horsepower motion control solutions composed of BLDC, PMDC and AC electric motors, gearmotors, controls, encoders and brakes, as well as linear motion solutions.

FRA Joins Canadian Forestry Industry in Welcoming Jenkins Panel Report

Forestry Research Associates (FRA) along with the forestry industry of Canada, says it is looking forward to the release of the Jenkins Panel report, which is a new innovation in the sector.

Bainbridge Island, WA, October 21, 2011 - Forestry Research Associates (FRA) along with the forestry industry of Canada, says it is looking forward to the release of the Jenkins Panel report, which is a new innovation in the sector.

Two major industry bodies, the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) and FPInnovations, claim they are anticipating the release of the report and are looking forward to working alongside the government to improve forestry innovation and research and development. FRA, an analysis and research consultancy specialising in sustainable forestry, has also announced its support for the report’s release as it could help promote investment in the industry.

The forestry industry in Canada feels that more federal support for innovation would be a positive step for the sector and that the publication of the Jenkins Panel report will help to open up discussion on this. The President of FPAC, Avrim Lazar, explained, “The Canadian forest products industry is in the midst of re-inventing itself.

"Government has already used smart spending to help us improve our environmental performance, develop and deploy new ideas and technologies and create a future-oriented, diversified industry.” He then concluded: “It is imperative to continue this R&D partnership so we can create a next generation forest products sector in Canada."

The industry wants the government to continue to support innovation projects and increase investment in other areas of research and development. “Attracting investment to the forestry industry from both public and private sources is imperative to the future sustainability of the industry,” explained FRA’s analyst, Peter Collins.

He outlined projects in Brazil, being carried out by firms like Greenwood Management, where investment cash is being used to develop plantations of non-native trees to help supply the local steel industry with charcoal while protecting native forests. He added that the future of the Canadian forestry industry is vital to the region’s economy.
