MarketingSherpa and Elastic Path Provide Insight on Optimizing Global Online Stores

New ecommerce webinar examines enterprise-wide A/B and multivariate testing

Vancouver, BC, Canada, August 10, 2011 -- Elastic Path Software, provider of the industry’s most flexible enterprise ecommerce platform, announced a new online store optimization webinar with MarketingSherpa today. This webinar will help enterprises create a consistent testing plan for their global online stores.

The free webinar, entitled “Putting Your Best Site Forward: Making the Case for Consistent Testing on Enterprise Ecommerce Sites,” is presented by Amanda Dhalla, Elastic Path ecommerce consultant and Boris Grinkot, MarketingSherpa associate director of product development.

Topics that will be discussed during the webinar include:

• Key findings in MarketingSherpa’s Landing Page Optimization Benchmark Report
• Pages and elements with the largest impact on ecommerce ROI
• The skills required for an enterprise-wide testing program and commonly-faced operational challenges

Amanda and Boris will also provide optimization tips to select audience-submitted web pages live during the webinar.

“For ecommerce websites, user experience has the most direct and measurable impact on the bottom line. As marketers are pulled in different directions by competing priorities—from listening and engaging in the social space to constantly re-adjusting SEO and paid search—optimizing and testing what happens 'post-click' is key to maximizing ROI,” says Boris Grinkot, associate director of product development for MarketingSherpa. “Marketers that have integrated landing page optimization methods into core operations are consistently demonstrating significant conversion lifts with no additional spend.”
