2. Engaging Your Customers - How HumbleChic.com Used an
Early Aggressive Strategy to Convert More Shoppers
Once you get traffic to your webstore, what's next? How quickly should you
engage your customer once they reach the site. How aggressive do you need to
be?
Engaging the modern consumer requires a fine balance of finesse that can be
mastered through real-life testing.

City, these early engagement strategies have helped to convert more shoppers.
For eAccountable a Denver based digital agency, delivering early engagement
and conversion enhancement tools has shown how tools serve the advertiser as
well as the consumer and the enhance the customer experience.
