San Francisco, CA, January 22, 2012 --(PR.com)-- SysIQ, ecommerce solutions provider for multi-channel retailers, announced today that Gump’s San Francisco, a leading luxury retailer, reported a record setting 25% increase in online sales during the 2011 Holiday shopping season.
The holiday season capped off the 18 month partnership which culminated with the launch of Gump’s new website in January 2011. The web based ecommerce platform proved to be integral to the retailer’s holiday sales. With a 19% increase in traffic, Gump’s saw a 7% increase in conversion on the new web site vs. last year. This resulted in sales that exceeded the team’s expectations.
According to Gump’s VP of Ecommerce, Alison Stiefel, “This holiday season, we expected high customer expectations and a significant increase in demand from the Gumps.com website. We welcomed the expertise and performance planning from our ecommerce partner SysIQ. With their partnership, we were able to apply the necessary site adjustments to deliver a great customer experience and exceed our sales goals. More importantly, we experienced no website downtime during the vital Black Friday through Cyber Monday promotional weekend.”
SysIQ helped Gump’s accurately predict the increase in website traffic. The teams allocated additional on-demand servers and resources resulting in a properly tuned website that was ready for the increased load.
SysIQ’s Founder and CEO Igor Gorin notes, “Holiday ecommerce readiness requires expertise in testing, forecasting and optimization.
