BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND

BarkBox is a monthly subscription service providing dog products, services, and experiences, tailored to the user's needs.

Today Bark reaches over 1.8 million dogs every month, and they have expanded into new product categories and thousands of retail locations.

Challenges:

  • Although majority of the traffic was coming to the site on mobile devices, mobile conversion rates were significantly lower compared to desktop.
  • Busy marketing team without time to invest on CRO.
  • The marketing & development teams did not have background in running experiments.
  • Needed to make a big impact quickly to justify any investment in CRO work.

THE CHALLENGE



What challenge were you trying to address with Invesp?

“We wanted to improve the conversion rate for our B2C website. We had limited resources in terms of conversion optimization, and we hired Invesp to improve the conversion for the site for our different product lines.”

Jason Garcia,

Senior Product Manager

Although the site received a large number of monthly visitors, its conversion rate was low. The majority of the site traffic was coming through mobile devices. Yet, mobile conversion rates and revenue were much lower than desktop.

Solutions:

  • Comprehensive conversion audit to Identify and prioritize conversion issues
  • Comprehensive user behavioral research to understand user motivations
  • Comprehensive data analysis and analytics configuration to track users’s activity on the site
  • Identify and run experiments on different parts of the site to improve conversion rates, average order value, and revenue per visitor
  • Design, develop and run AB experiments on the site
  • Track & report results on weekly basis to the team

THE SOLUTION

They helped us with everything from start to finish.

Invesp developed a strategy around conversion optimization by looking for opportunities, developing hypotheses, and conducting exit intent surveys and customer interviews to help understand our customers more.

They also designed mock-ups for us, developed coding and testing, and wrapped everything up with a post-test analysis.

“We used a prioritization framework to narrow down the pages that were going to show us the highest probability of getting a win. The testing platform we used was VWO, and we used everything from the editor to building custom solutions within that technology.”

Jason Garcia,

Senior Product Manager

Our main contact points were Nuno (Conversion Rate Optimization Specialist) and Ayat (Co-Founder). We also met with people from the design and development teams.

How did you come to work with Invesp?

“We reached out to many conversion optimization agencies and then narrowed that down to 3–5 companies. After speaking with all of them, we felt like Invesp lined up with our goals and workflow the most, so we moved forward with them.”

What is the status of this engagement?
We worked with them between February–October 2022.

THE RESULTS

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

“Our primary goal with hiring Invesp was to increase the conversion rate for various landing pages on our website, which we were able to do. We define success as a listing conversion, and we had several successful tests with Invesp. Even for the tests that didn’t show statistical significance, we were able to learn about our customers and their expectations in different ways.”

Senior Product Manager

We also ran tests that showed us ways to optimize our checkout flow to increase the average order value, and other tests that were focused on improving our retention.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were impressed with the way they were able to execute things very quickly. Their speed allowed us a business to increase the velocity of our testing. We were able to quickly go from initial ideas and hypotheses to launching the test and having it live on the website.

How did Invesp perform from a project management standpoint?

“We believe that the project management was successful. They shared a Trello board with us so we always knew what stage we were in. They handled feedback very well and were always responsive to what we told them. We used Slack to communicate and met virtually.”
