Series 6 Episode 6 - In today's economic climate, can experimentation help to retain margin?

May 26, 2025 • Webtrends Optimize • Season 6 • Episode 6

This month we are joined by Lars Schleibach, Senior Solutions Engineer at Fullstory. Lars explores the work Fullstory do with their clients to understand the user journey, identify pain points, and improve conversion rates by ensuring a seamless shopping experience. Fullstory's Behavioural Analytics insights are incredibly intuitive and can really dig into the experience of the user. This is an effective method alongside testing tools as it can help to identify which areas of your website you should be experimenting on. Avoiding user frustration is key for conversion, and Lars explores how businesses of all sizes can benefit from an improved profit margin as a result.
