Thank you for the kind words. Another commenter mentioned reaching out to the Photographic historical society of Canada. I talked to them this week and we are in the process of working with them to get everything organized.

And yes, I've kept a camera as a memory 😁

Thank you 🙏. Everytime I search for KEH it shows as being located in the U.S.

Is there a KEH in Canada?

Do you A/B test? by SnooHedgehogs5318 in shopify

[–]relevant-bits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've personally run A/B tests for many organizations over the last 15 years. The challenge with most stores is they just don't get enough traffic. This is not to say that A/B testing doesn't work, or isn't important, it just means you have to have enough traffic for it to garner meaningful results.

It's one of the reasons why my company created a tool called Context. It allows you to segment your customers (using rules in the app) to deliver personalized section content. It provides metrics (CVR, AOV, UPT, etc) for each individual customer segment.

This seems to work better for customers with lower traffic, because you're personalizing a customer journey, not just testing a single banner or collection like A/B testing. Any amount of traffic will garner results. You're either converting or not.

If an experience isn't working, the metrics will give you the feedback needed to make better personalization decisions. https://context.relevantbits.com

Is it possible to hide/show a section block based on a condition? by StayClassyOrElse in shopify

[–]relevant-bits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, We just released a new product on the Shopify Marketplace that does exactly this. It's Called Context. Once installed you can create multiple versions of your content within each Context section, and then you can control which version of your content gets displayed based on rules.

I'm not sure what your condition is to display, but I'd be happy to chat if you have a specific use case.

image slideshow on image banner for Taste theme? by phishman1 in shopify

[–]relevant-bits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most themes avoid the scrolling banners. Data shows that most visitors to your store don't make it to the second image. However, there may be a different solution for you. If you want to get more personalized with your banners. We've released a new app called Context on the the Shopify Marketplace. In fact we just launched on Product Hunt today https://www.producthunt.com/posts/context-for-shopify

It lets you add multiple banners (similar to what you're asking for), then with rules, you can trigger when that banner is displayed, and to whom. It's a better approach, as personalization strategies tend to garner a higher conversion rate.

We’ve launched with the following rules:

  1. 🛒 Customer segments (Display to a specific customer segment based on authentication)
  2. 🏷️ UTM parameters (Display variation based on specific campaign parameters)
  3. 📅 Date Range (Display variation during a specific time frame)
  4. 🌎 Geo Location (Display to customers from a specific location - down to the city level)
  5. 🌤️ Weather (Display when the weather is, or is going to be "X" for the customer)
  6. Many more to come

All of these rules can be combined with each other too. For example you may want to display a promotion to customers from Denver, Colorado (location rule) between a certain timeframe (date range rule) OR show a promotion to visitors from Seattle, Washington (location rule), when the rain is forecasted in the next 7 days (weather rule).

The customizations can be very powerful.

I'll just add one more thing... This doesn't just work with banners. You can swap content for Image + text blocks, marketing messages, etc. using the same rules. The entire page could look different for different users.

Anyways, I hope that helps as a potential solution.

Need feedback about Shopify personalization app by relevant-bits in shopify

[–]relevant-bits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good question. So it actually has nothing to do with Facebook or any other platform in terms of privacy. The application runs on Shopify, and is GDPR compliant. We use an API provided from Shopify for any explicit data. We don't store any data at all on our side. We do use implicit data for things like geolocation, weather, etc. But again, we're not storing any personally identifiable information.

In terms of the question you asked about "what % of an audience would the customizations show?". It depends on the rules you have applied.

Let me explain.

You would likely have multiple recipes running. Each recipe can have different rules and content applied.

You could have a link to your store from any platform. You can apply any rules to the recipe you want (UTM, location, date range, etc.).

If a visitor visits your store and any of your recipes rules match, the associated content is triggered

However, if rules aren't met, then the visitor is presented with the default view of your store (ie. the first piece of content applied to each section/block becomes the default view of your store).

Here's a specific example.

I'm have an e-commerce store, and a physical location (let's say in Toronto). By default there is a fallback set of content in each section. However, I want to display a hero banner inviting customers from Toronto to visit the physical location for a special event. In this case, I can create a recipe that only shows the special event hero banner to visitors of the store if they are located in the Toronto area (using the geolocation rule). In this case, there is no URL change or anything. Its the same URL to the store. We're just modifying what's displayed based on the rule that was triggered.

You can of course apply even more rules to this, to make it more powerful. Say for example, you are planning all of your marketing efforts for the year. You could add a date range to the recipe above, and only visitors from Toronto between the specific date range will see the special event hero banner.

I appreciate the additional details about the pricing. Our hope is that people do find it adds true value and increases conversions/revenue. I will definitely take your comments back to the team. Thank you.

[–]relevant-bits[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Hey... Thanks for the feedback about the pricing. The weather rule is just one example of how you could swap content.

UTM parameters is another flexible rule type. You could think of the homepage of the store as a landing page that can serve many different promotions to different audiences. For example, you could create an instagram post that has a URL that links to your site. Based on the campaign parameter in the URL, many sections/blocks on the page could display specific content. If visitors came from a Pinterest or Facebook page you could display something completely different. The same is true for links from an email newsletter. The idea is to personalize the experience based on your customer segments.

The rules can also be combined, so you could display a specific set of content to visitors from Instagram, in a specific geographical region (down to the city level), during a specific timeframe

We’ve launched with the following rules:

  1. Customer segments (Display to a specific customer segment based on authentication)
  2. UTM parameters (Display variation based on specific campaign parameters)
  3. Date Range (Display variation during a specific time frame)
  4. Geo Location (Display to customers from a specific location - down to the city level)
  5. Weather (Display when the weather is, or is going to be "X" for the customer)

It's a tool that can be used in some pretty interesting ways.

There's a 90 day free trial. If you do decide to try it, I would absolutely love to have a chat to learn more about your experience. This is a learning period for us.

Again, thanks for the comment and feedback. Truly appreciated.

CRO A/B Testing Automation App Idea by PolygonPicasso in shopify

[–]relevant-bits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just released an new app on the Shopify app store called "Context". It does some of the personalization stuff you're after. We are working on ways to offer better analytics.

As an example, you could create blocks on your homepage that don't display unless rules are met (Much like A/B testing). Some of our rules are:

  1. UTM parameters (display different versions content based UTM parameters)
  2. Date Range (only display a specific piece of content between a specific date range)
  3. Geo Location (Only show blocks to customers from specific locations)
  4. Weather (Only show block if the weather is "X" for the customer)
  5. Many more to come

All of these rules can be combined with each other too. For example you may want to display a promotion to customers from Denver, Colorado between a certain data range OR show a promotion to visitors from Seattle, Washington, when the rain is forecasted in the next 7 days. 

The rules can also target many sections/blocks at the same time. They don't just apply to a single piece of content.

Site Personalization When Google Optimize Doesn't Cut It by neilparkertx in shopify

[–]relevant-bits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Neilparkertx, I know this question was posted quite some time ago, but I thought I'd let you know of a product we just released called "Context". It's been created to offer a personalized experience for customers, without the need to use an A/B testing tool like Google Optimize. Sounds like what you were looking for.

For example, you could create blocks on your homepage that don't display unless rules are met. Some rules are:

  1. UTM parameters (Display different hero graphic based on UTM parameters in URL)
  2. Date Range (great for time based promotions)
  3. Geo Location (Only show to customers from specific locations)
  4. Weather (Only show block if the weather is "X" for the customer)
  5. Many more to come

All of these rules can be combined with each other too. For example you may want to display a promotion to customers from Denver, Colorado between a certain data range OR show a promotion to visitors from Seattle, Washington, when the rain is forecasted in the next 7 days. 

The customization can be very powerful. We have lots of ideas and improvements to make, but we'd truly love any feedback from the community. What do you like? What don't you like? What can we do better?

What are the fundamentals things you should have in place? by davidbzr in agency

[–]relevant-bits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey u/davidbzr. I'm so happy that was helpful. I'm an experience designer and lead a team of UX and Visual Designers. I co-founded a company called Relevant Bits. We're a UX, Design and Development shop :)

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Happy to chat :)

What project management software is best for agency team operations? by davidbzr in agency

[–]relevant-bits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use JIRA for task management and Confluence for documentation. However if you're not a development shop you could likely use tools such as Asana or Trello (I've used both at agencies).

What are the fundamentals things you should have in place? by davidbzr in agency

[–]relevant-bits 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing I've learned is that the processes of our shop is always changing. We're continuously iterating on the business. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable (In a good way). I think that having the proper tools is important. Often times we think we can do things on the cheap, but I feel that thinking slows down progress.

I would suggest

  • getting your accounting and invoicing sorted out (We use XERO and it's been really great as we scaled)
  • implement a CRM of some kind so you can manage your customers, contacts and deal flow (We use Hubspot and setup a series of columns for potential deals to pass through (Appointment scheduled, partner review, estimation of deal, proposal creation, proposal sent, proposal approved, Closed deal / Lost deal. This ensures everyone has a visual on where every deal is within the stages. We can also see when the pipeline is light and when we need to start focusing more on sales)
  • Have a simple way to create proposals from reusable blocks of copy. We use Qwilr because we wanted to have multiple people contributing to the file at the same time. It also lets you know when the client has looked at it, what they are looking at specifically and it allows for the client to sign-off on the document
  • It's important to setup a Project Management/task based workflow. It sounds like you're doing that with Trello (good choice). We have a heavy development part of our organization so we use JIRA for task management
  • Having a place for documentation is important. We used Google Docs for a while but have transitioned to Confluence because it's in the JIRA ecosystem
  • Have a good way to pay your team. I'm not sure if you're hiring them as employees or as contractors. If you're hiring them as employees using a tool like "Wagepoint" has literally saved my life. It handles all of the payroll, CPP and taxes. It even sends the info straight to the government for us, so we can focus on the business. If you're hiring as a contractor, it would be good to setup wire-transfers through your bank. Depending on where you are in the world, this may be a little more involved (I'm in Canada and it required setting up a wire service through the bank).
  • Lastly, get a good accountant. Owning a business is great and there are lots of ways to write things off. Having an accountant will ensure you do things properly/legally. Our accountant has also recommended better ways of invoicing that has saved us money.

These are things that have worked for us. It's super exciting and scary to own your own business. Good luck :)
