Project: Acquisition Optimization. 10-fold ROI through Conversion Rate Optimization

The Context & Objectives

Telestream’s customer acquisition strategy is centered around driving traffic to their website to try or purchase software from their online store. Their objectives for this project were to increase the site conversion rate to bring more traffic to the cart pages, increase the cart conversion rate to convert more shoppers to buyers and ultimately increase revenue

Solution

Avangate partnered with WiderFunnel, a digital optimization agency, to provide Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) services to Telestream. Avangate and WiderFunnel developed a strategy and test plan to focus on areas with the most revenue potential. Several experiments were run during the 6-month project – both on the site and on the cart pages.

Key Results

10-fold ROI through CRO project
26% increase in conversion rates (site/ product pages/ shopping cart)

Case Study

Project: Accelerated Direct Web Sales. 4% Increase in Sales through Automation

Context & Objectives

Rapid organic growth and recent acquisitions had outpaced the capabilities of legacy billing, partner management, CRM and other systems. Telestream's objectives were to:

Update and consolidate legacy commerce systems and processes with a single integrated and scalable platform
Expand into untapped global markets and introduce and experiment with new pricing and business models

Challenges

Wanted to expand globally but, except for a few countries where it had a presence, Telestream didn’t have the localization – payments, currency, pricing, service – to support its sales growth strategy
Lacked the platform flexibility to introduce and experiment with new and multiple pricing and business models

Solution

Telestream looked to a new ecommerce provider for additional flexibility and agility to set up the company for aggressive global growth and innovation, both now and into the future.

“As our business continues to expand rapidly around the world, our ability to scale and optimize every facet, including the commerce side, has been a key strategic focus of Telestream. In creating a unified commerce environment with Avangate's Enterprise Edition, enterprise and consumer customers are supported the way they want to be and internal operations have become much smoother. With Avangate, we have a strategic partner that not only optimizes our current business but will foster and support our growth”.
