Great #CX isn’t accidental. It’s tested, tuned, and intentional.

This conversation goes beyond #personalization. It’s about identifying the right signals, challenging assumptions, and ensuring every optimization aligns with your long-term brand vision. 🔗 Tune in Now: https://lnkd.in/eGg4hmQC

Our Peak Performance Panel & Dinner, hosted in partnership with Shopify and Attentive, brought together #eCommerce leaders for one of the most honest and impactful conversations around unified commerce. Our CEO John Surdakowski led a thoughtful discussion with KHAITE, quip., and Attentive on how today’s top brands are building systems that unify brand, data, and experience—while staying agile enough to experiment with tools like AI. The evening continued with a seated dinner, meaningful connection, and a few curated curated gifts from our brand partners. Till next one NYC 🏋️

📊 Most #ecommerce teams focus their #optimization efforts where the data is loudest: homepage traffic, product page engagement, cart abandonment, and checkout conversion. But just below that surface is a layer of overlooked digital real estate that quietly impacts performance. These pages are often where trust is won or lost, where conversions stall, and where lifetime value quietly slips away. 👉 In our latest blog, we unpack the under-optimized pages that deserve more attention and share best practices for turning them into high-performing assets: https://lnkd.in/eW7zxKDJ #ecommercegrowth #conversionrateoptimization #CRO #customerjourney

🏋 Luxury doesn’t tolerate lag. Every interaction with a premium brand should feel as refined as the product it sells. Avex E-commerce ensured The Shop by Equinox delivers on that promise by optimizing the #technology that powers the experience. Our team took a deep dive into The Shop by Equinox through comprehensive #technical, #CRO and #UX audits. We uncovered a range of hidden performance issues, from unused JavaScript to code bloat and inconsistent development patterns. These audits revealed the inefficiencies affecting speed and usability, guiding every #optimization that followed. Explore the experience: https://shop.equinox.com/

#Internationalization should align with your operational readiness and brand maturity—not just your ambition to grow. For Shopify merchants, expanding into global markets doesn’t follow a one-size-fits-all roadmap. It’s a nuanced journey that depends heavily on where your brand is today across logistics, technology, and team capabilities. In our latest blog post, we introduce a clear and actionable framework to help merchants scale internationally with intention: 🪜 Crawl: Start with low-friction market validation 🚶🏻♂️ Walk: Layer in strategic localization, including language, fulfillment, and compliance infrastructure. 🏃🏻♂️ Run: Build fully localized, end-to-end experiences tailored to specific markets at scale. Whether you’re exploring new regions or preparing for a multi-country rollout, this phased approach helps ensure every step is purposeful, sustainable, and aligned with your growth trajectory. 🌏 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eu_aV56n
