How the crisis impacts SMBs
eCommerce dropped, and is now back up
Lockdown
Source: Gorgias
Retailers are migrating to online
Source: Shopify
Who’s doing well, who’s having a hard time
🔴 -50%: Fashion, Automotive, Sports
🟡 stable: Beauty, Outdoors
🟡+50%: Food, Fitness, Electronics, Toys
Ad spend is up, CPM down
Source: MuteSix
Impact on our business on March 31st
Top of funnel: email open rate dropped from 60% to 15%
Sales: large accounts pushing back, SMB stable
Retention: dipped to -3% in March, then back up at 0%
Q2 forecast: discounted growth projections + hiring plan by
35%
How we responded to the crisis
˜40% of our customers were in trouble
Revenue change among our customers
We’ve decided to help
3 months free to customers with -20% in sales
6 months free to customers with -40%+ in sales
Existing + New customers. Keep paying commissions.
Our goal with this response
Help our customers go through the crisis #InThisTogether
Keep our Sales and Success teams busy onboarding merchants
Customers really appreciate it: 100s of reactions
10% of our customers took advantage of the offer
368 applications in 3 weeks
80% of them from existing customers
Total cost of the offer is 4% of our ARR
This offer boosted acquisition by 60%
Stimulus Offer
Lessons learnt
Brand standpoint: definitely worth doing
Economic standpoint: for 4% of your ARR, you increase sales by 30%
Team morale: keeps the energy high
→ most likely worth it if you can afford it
Thanks!
