Pegasus Associates Boosts Online Sales with Omniture
Lighting E-tailer Increases Conversion Rate by 55 Percent
OREM, Utah – June 21, 2006 – Omniture, a leading provider of online business optimization software, today announced that Pegasus Associates, a provider of innovative lighting systems, significantly increased online sales and enhanced the online user experience for its customers by using Omniture SiteCatalyst®. With the insight provided by Omniture’s SiteCatalystWeb analytics solution, Pegasus increased its conversion rate by 55 percent and boosted the sales of its top selling items by 82 percent.
“Working with SiteCatalyst brings a constant stream of fresh insight,” said Dr. Thomas Farin, president, Pegasus Associates. “We now understand our customers much better. We know what they’re looking for and what we need to do to serve them better. We’re now able to make informed, effective changes to the site that provides our customers with a better online experience—improving our conversion rates and driving more sales.”
Pegasus Associates, working with Web analytics consultant LunaMetrics, used Omniture SiteCatalyst to gain newfound clarity around keyword search performance and how visitors reach its site. With SiteCatalyst, the company discovered that many of its paid search words were underperforming. Based on this analysis, Pegasus adjusted its keyword investments to focus on the top performing terms and phrases on all of its Web pages. Pegasus saw a substantial increase in organic visitors and traffic and a 55 percent boost in their conversion rate.
Omniture also helped Pegasus more effectively market its most popular products. Through SiteCatalyst, Pegasus confirmed that xenon task lights, T4 light fixtures and xenon low voltage strips were some of the top selling items. With this new insight, Pegasus featured these popular items with photos on the home page, where they gained more prominence and visibility. As a result, sales of these items increased 82 percent more than other products.
“For many companies, the online channel is at the core of their organization’s success,” said Gail Ennis, senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Omniture. “When a company, like Pegasus Associates, can realize these kinds of returns with one design change, the power of Omniture’s solution to measure and monitor customer user experience is critical.”
