Introduction

Solution Used

Ongoing CRO

PicoCamp was pouring budget into Instagram and Reddit ads driving solid traffic to their ultralight gear store — but only 1.8% of visitors converted. High bounce rates on product pages and a cluttered mobile checkout were bleeding results. Our 90-day CRO engagement restructured the entire experience.

The Strategic Insights

A high-traffic store means nothing if the on-site experience loses the visitor.

Mobile checkout friction was the single biggest conversion killer on this store.

Structured two-week test cycles compound — small fixes created a 156% uplift.

1.8% to 4.6% — the data speaks for itself.

We were pouring money into ads but our store barely converted — watching traffic leave without buying was painful. The team ran structured tests every two weeks, rebuilding our checkout, product pages, and mobile experience piece by piece. Now we sit at a 4.6% conversion rate and every ad dollar actually works for us.
