Simplifying the Adventure eCommerce

Summit Hut grounds its identity by providing superior value. Poor website performance, substandard user experience, and slow page load speed were a hindrance. Summit Hut needed professional digital marketing experts to execute and manage result oriented paid campaigns to improve their conversion rate and revenue. Krish worked on a personalized strategy that centered on the client’s challenges and helped improve their eCommerce sales & experience.

The Strategy

To help our client move the site to a newer, more robust platform version, we performed an M1 to M2 upgrade with all its advantages. We preserved all the integral business data including customers, products, and more. Moving forward, we created a new catalog and a customized MSI to empower their overall data integration. The website search was enhanced to improve navigation. Krish worked on a unified omnichannel experience for Summit Hut - where gift cards can be purchased and redeemed physically from the store or virtually from the website. In addition to several integrations and other critical features to their back-end systems, the team ensured data was not lost during the process.

In order to achieve their digital marketing goals and achieve set KPIs, our Google PPC experts studied their business thoroughly by identifying the best-performing keywords, products, and categories. With the perfect bidding strategy in place, we kept tabs on high-performing products to further improve their impressions, clicks, and conversions..
