Flos USA Boosted Checkout Conversion Rate Using VWO

125% Checkout rate

Über Flos USA

Established in 1962 in Merano, Italy, Flos is recognized as a world-leading manufacturer of innovative lighting solutions. It exports to more than 70 countries worldwide and has single-brand stores in Rome, Paris, New York, and Stockholm among other major locations.

Flos USA is a subsidiary of Flos, which serves as an online store selling lighting solutions to consumers in the US and Canada. We spoke with Harinder Jaura, chief consultant for VWO Services, about how his team followed a structured CRO process to help Flos USA optimize conversion rates on their eCommerce store.

Ziele

Being a niche eCommerce website, Flos USA was struggling with the behemoth issue of low checkout conversion rate. In May 2017, Flos USA decided to work with VWO Services since they lacked the necessary resources and expertise to tackle this situation.

The team at Flos wanted to optimize their website in a structured, process-oriented manner, without having to invest in building an in-house team – hence they decided to work with experts from the VWO Services team. For VWO Services team, this translated into the challenge of end-to-end optimization of the website conversion funnel for Flos USA.

Given we were dealing with a perennial issue of low conversion rates on our eCommerce store, we wanted to bring in someone who has already tackled this successfully. Since we did not have the bandwidth to build a team in-house, we decided to try VWO.

Testphase

After getting on-board, Harinder, our chief consultant for VWO Services, decided to begin his research by analyzing Flos USA’s website analytics data. Harinder also conducted qualitative visitor research using tools such as heatmaps, scrollmaps, session recordings and more to glean deeper, actionable insights. He realized the best course of action would be to optimize for each stage of the journey a typical visitor follows on their website, i.e.

Visitor | Homepage > Listing Page > Product Page > Cart Page > Checkout | Customer

With this approach in mind, Harinder and his team ran a total of 30 campaigns over a period of 17 months, ultimately increasing checkout conversion rates by about 125%. These tests were conducted to validate the hypotheses which the team had generated by digging into quantitative data and qualitative data using VWO.

Here are a few successful campaigns which they implemented at each stage of the conversion funnel:
