    Let me start by giving a big ‘Congratulations!’ to Barack Obama and his team for what will likely be the biggest win of their lives. They ran an incredibly disciplined and sophisticated campaign and deserved to win.

    A great web marketing campaign

    There have already been plenty of articles written about how well Obama’s online marketing campaign was planned and executed. If you haven’t heard, check out here, here, here, here, here and here.

    Marketing SherpaMarketing Sherpa published a Conversion Optimization case study this morning about a project we recently completed for Business Objects, an SAP Company.

    The author captured the steps we took with the client, Christine Mykota, and the typical challenges of working within a Fortune 500 company’s graphic standards well.

    I also gave the author a sneak-peak of the six factors in WiderFunnel’s LIFT™ Analysis, which we use to evaluate landing pages and develop test hypotheses.

    At IMC in Vancouver I will take Conversion Optimization workshop members through the LIFT Analysis tool and will post it to this blog after the conference, so stay tuned.

    In the mean time, take a read through the excellent Sherpa article.

    More great news!

    Marketing Sherpa published a case study yesterday about a recent Conversion Rate Optimization Funnel Experiment we ran for Safe Software.

    The project is a great example of how we can increase lead generation Actions (ie. Conversions) to create a persistent revenue lift for high value, high consideration purchases. At the end of one round of Funnel Experiments, where we created and tested home page and software download page alternatives, we had increased their key lead generation funnel by over 100% (in other words, doubled it!).

    You can read Sherpa’s published case here.

    We’re excited by the results of these experiments, and so are Jaylene and Jamey from Safe. In fact, we’re doing another Kaizen Method planning session with them this afternoon to continue the improvement. I’ll let you know how the next round goes in a few weeks.
