			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It wasn&#8217;t that bouncy before, but our new simplified homepage is even less bouncy; over 10% less! More than that, it is funnelling more visitors toward telling us whom they are buying the gift for (from 1/3 to over 1/2), which helps us convert much more succesfully.</p>
<p><img style="display:block;" src="http://info.pressies4princesses.co.uk/sites/default/files/simple-homepage.gif" alt="Much simplified homepage reduces bounce 10%" /></p>
<p>Besides the statistically-proven bounce improvement, we also noticed very strong sales over the weekend and so far this week, though it&#8217;s a little too early to attribute to this change.</p>
<p>On the back of this improvement we&#8217;re already making and planning further changes one click at a time in downstream pages. More on that later!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are revisiting conversion. We spent a lot of time and effort on it last year, which led to dramatic improvements. Minor changes have been made since &#8211; like repositioning elements in the mast. But, starting last week, we started tearing our current layouts to pieces with the aim of improving our salesmanship further. </p>
<p>First came <strong>a new home page</strong>, launched last week. A lot of space has been given over to a new best-sellers box. The results are very positive. But, more changes are in the pipeline. We&#8217;re putting one major change live at a time to enable objective comparison of each change.</p>
<p>Today, we&#8217;re putting the finishing touches on a <strong>new layout and navigation for the category pages</strong>. We&#8217;re testing it in the Girlfriend/ Wife section first. The objective is to make it easier for people to shop how they want to and to access &#8220;ideas&#8221;, instead of just lists of products. Our research is telling us the majority of people see themselves as &#8220;idea hunters&#8221; rather than &#8220;shoppers&#8221; when they first visit. And, it&#8217;s our job to convert them into buyers buy selling them great ideas!</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll keep you posted on progress. Meanwhile don&#8217;t forget to take advantage of the <a href="/2009/05/lolita-cocktail-glasses-discount-code/" title="Lolita Glasses incentive">Lolita Glasses incentive</a> currently running.</p>
