Key Pillars of a Successful CRO Program | Latest eBook by VWO Posted: 22 Sep 2016 06:29 AM PDT Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) has gradually become a known concept across enterprises, in recent years. The popularity of CRO can be owed to its ability to have a direct and profound impact on the bottom line. However, application of CRO in most organizations has been far from optimal, which inadvertently causes them to leave money on the table. This money can be reclaimed by having a structured approach to CRO. Further, suboptimal optimization programs lead organizations to draw wrong conclusions, or statistically unsupported decisions, from their A/B tests and damage what's not broken. Add to it the time and resources that are spent on CRO, and the real cost of an ill-structured CRO program begins to pinch where it hurts—ROI. An optimal or structured CRO program requires certain key elements that ensure its success. The elements include tools, skills, processes, goals, and culture. VWO's latest eBook "Key Pillars of a Successful Conversion Optimization Program" covers all these elements in detail. This eBook features insights from industry experts and provides actionable takeaways to help you set up a CRO program or improve an existing one.
