Picture a website that is not seeing conversions, is not ranking for keywords which is translating to very low online-store traffic, and unsynchronized product data... These were all obstacles that Get Lighting had to overcome. Such tribulations were holding this lighting store back from reaching their goals; and being a strictly online operation, these issues were a major problem. They had revenue goals which could not be met due to this, and since enough was enough for them, they sought out a full-service eCommerce agency to assist them. Having this realization, they reached out to us at Verdure Digital to solve these recurring issues. They had done so to ensure that their revenue goals were being met, and to guarantee that their stance in the online lighting store industry was strong.
Get Lighting is an online retailer that prides itself in the selling of top-of-the-line residential lighting fixtures, along with fans, and other home décor. This site has been in operation since 2017, and always had a primary focus on delivering an extensive catalogue with competitive prices to consumers all across the United States.
By subscribing to a product data feed with a reputable data provider in the lighting industry, they were able to offer a large catalogue, with real-time pricing and inventory updates. As a natural extension of their data partnership, it made sense to allow this same company to provide a website template and hosting platform for the business.
As time went on, it was apparent that there was an abundance of issues with this arrangement, which ultimately guided Get Lighting in the wrong direction. They were facing an issue that no business ever wants to face – the prevention of meeting their growth goals, which of course, also translated to a lack of revenue.
Evidently, their key problems from there on out were the following:
Facing these ongoing problems, this is when Get Lighting made the decision to reach out to us, as they had needed assistance from a full-service eCommerce agency. After we had conducted an in-depth analysis of their online presence, we determined that the two issues mentioned above were the key problems that they had been facing.
These were major issues that could not be taken lightly, as they were heavily affecting the success of our client. As their eCommerce partner, our job was to find the best solutions to solve these problems as soon as possible.
When taking into consideration all the issues that they had been facing, we came up with a clear set of goals which we decided to make a top priority to find the solutions to. These goals were to:
After thoroughly assessing the issues that they had been facing, and constructing a list of goals we wanted to attain to optimize their success – we decided it was time to take action on the problems they had been struggling with. See below the process of how we had met these goals:
On the journey of completing these steps, we had noticed the fact that there was an abundance of competition on many of their SKU’s. We realized that Get Lighting must differentiate itself in the following ways; pricing, shipping fees, speed of delivery, and responsiveness to buyer inquiries.
After agreeing on the appropriate strategy to implement going forward, this is where our team really got down to work. Firstly, we started by organizing and optimizing their extensive catalogue of over 100,000 SKU’s. This for us was certainly the most challenging part. However, we were able to overcome such a formidable feat. We had achieved this by:
This allowed us to reach our main goals, which we set prior to our execution.
After assisting Get Lighting on all of their major issues, we decided further action would be key to take them to the next level. Social media, which we all know, is a huge part of everyday advertising as it can reach a wide audience as soon as its posted. We thought that would be the best way to further increase our eCommerce partner’s online store traffic and conversions.
Leveraging the platforms of; Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest, we had used these additional channels to not only consistently make content and interact with page visitors, but also to run advertisements across these platforms. Keeping an active online presence on social media accounts is key to further enhance the growth of your business, which is what we at Verdure Digital also consider to be a top priority for our clients, when we feel they could use it.
Since executing the plan to help Get Lighting build a better online shopping experience, take control of their data, and to enhance their social media presence, we’ve seen results that have shown us that the implementation of our strategies was successful and continue to be successful to this day.
Since the implementation of our SEO services, Get Lighting’s keywords have been steadily increasing and are consistently bringing in new customers to their website.
