The Problem Gearbunch Faced

Despite having a loyal customer base and a strong product lineup, Gearbunch faced challenges with maximizing its conversion funnel performance. Their checkout flow and product discovery journey needed an optimization strategy that would drive both immediate gains and sustainable growth.

Key challenges included:

  • Lower-than-expected conversion rate

  • Modest average order value (AOV)

  • Underwhelming add-to-cart and checkout start rates

  • Ensuring site speed remained top-notch during enhancements


The Plan

  • A/B testing across key funnel steps

  • In-depth user behavior analysis and heatmaps

  • A focus on speed performance to maintain site agility and user satisfaction

Bundle & Save Strategy

One standout initiative was our Bundle & Save strategy, which packaged complementary products and offered discounts to incentivize larger purchases. This tactic proved pivotal in boosting both AOV and conversion rate, as customers saw immediate value in bundling.


Elite Brands’ strategies led to transformative improvements in Gearbunch’s performance:

  • 113% increase in conversion rate

  • 10% increase in average order value (AOV)

  • 20% increase in add-to-cart rate

  • 9% increase in checkout start rate
