Why is the Shortlist Report so important?

Shortlist Report Funnel

In these challenging economic times getting every last drop of efficiency out of your online sales funnel and establishing advantage over your competitors is vital.

As a result The Shortlist Report was developed for finance, digital marketing, research and design teams because it pinpoints:

  • How effective you are at driving target consumers to your website and then retaining them through the selection process they go through when choosing a provider.
  • How you need to be constructing your online strategy and designing your online properties to maximise sales conversions and customer loyalty
  • Why potential customers are not choosing you as their preferred provider
  • The opportunities that your competitors are providing because of weaknesses in their own ability to convert consumers.

Unique data and insight that reflects the consumer purchasing process

The feedback we often receive from online marketing teams highlight a number of problems common with existing analytics and consumer research methods. That is, current tools:

  • Just track consumers who are in the market to buy at that point in time but don't provide the context of what they're trying to achieve
  • Don't offer competitor data and your own site’s performance
  • Don't provide you data that reflects the way consumers select a provider. It only gives you data based on the structure of the journey your website provides
  • Don't tell you WHY you are not retaining potential customers at different stages of the conversion funnel.
  • Don't uncover which companies are most likely to be on a consumer’s shortlist of providers (you only know which sites were visited before and after your own).

The Shortlist Report solves all of these current weaknesses so that you will have complete confidence in knowing exactly what needs to be done to increase revenues where your website is a key component of the consumer’s selection process.

How does The Shortlist Report work?

We recruit a statistically signficant number of consumers who are in the market to buy your products. Special software is then downloaded onto their computers so that the research can be conducted in their natural buying environment. This technology not only tracks every click they make but enables us to conduct both pre- and post-task attitudinal surveying.

Data and insight to focus your strategy and investment

Subscribers to The Shortlist Report receive a concise report that includes:

  1. Metrics that align with the consumer purchasing process and show your performance compared to your competitors, such as:
    • Brand awareness and consideration
    • Website visitation to shortlist and preference
  2. Insight into current consumer buying behaviour so that you can create a cross-channel or multi-channel strategy that optimises website attraction and sales conversions
  3. Analysis of which enhancements to your digital marketing and conversion strategies will deliver the greatest return on investment.

Best practice examples that compliment a full analysis of your data

Global Reviews cuts your costs and time by providing you with full analysis of where your weaknesses and priorities together with recommendations on which improvements will deliver the greatest return. All of these recommendations are backed up by examples of how other companies locally and internationally are already achieving better results both inside and outside of your industry.
