Understanding how to turn website visitors into customers – a process known as Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) – can make a significant difference to your eCommerce website.
This workshop is about giving you clear, practical knowledge that you can use right away. You will learn how to use your website and online presence to support your business goals.
You will learn how to make your online marketing efforts customer-focused and how to use different online tools effectively. This includes learning how to align social media, search engine optimization (SEO), and content marketing to reach and engage your customers.
You will learn how to use data and testing to find out what works best for your business. This will help you make decisions based on evidence, not guesswork.
The workshop is led by Martin Greif who has over 20 years of experience in online marketing. He’s excellent at explaining things in a clear, straightforward way, so you don’t need to be a marketing expert to understand. The principles taught in the workshop are directly from his book “True Connections, Relationship Marketing in the Digital World”.
In short, the workshop is a no-nonsense, practical guide to getting more sales through your eCommerce website.
Key Takeaways
Put theory into practice. We’ll review websites from the group to identify conversion issues that are preventing website visitors from taking action. This isn’t just a passive learning experience – it’s a hands-on, collaborative activity that will give you a new perspective on your own digital marketing strategies.
Here’s what you’ll take away from this exercise:
- Real-world examples: By reviewing actual websites from other workshop participants, you’ll see real-world examples of what works and what doesn’t when it comes to conversion optimization.
- Peer feedback: You’ll get feedback from other participants – fellow workshop attendees who understand the challenges you face. This can provide you with new insights and ideas that you might not have considered.
- Actionable improvements: You’ll identify specific, actionable improvements you can make to your own website to increase conversions. These aren’t just theoretical ideas – they’re practical changes you can implement as soon as you get back to your office.
- A fresh perspective: By evaluating other websites, you’ll learn to look at your own website with fresh eyes. You’ll be able to spot issues and opportunities that you might have missed before.
In short, the value to the attendees is actionable digital marketing ideas that will generate revenue with lower marketing costs for acquisition of new customers.

2023 seems to be the year of contrasts in Romanian eCommerce with – more than usual – online businesses talking about stagnation or even decline and others talking about growth. Of course it depends on verticals and a lot of factors, but there are also differences of opinion on the size of the e-commerce market as a whole (according to different sources).
We shine a light alongside the representative companies in the field:
- The most important results of the iSense Solutions market study from the perspective of online consumers, presented for the first time at the GPeC SUMMIT
- Google’s perspective on the evolution of e-commerce, of Romanian retail as a whole + the latest information on consumption and search behavior
- Online payment statistics and trends, average transaction value, product/service categories in top consumer preferences
- ARMO’s perspective on the evolution of the e-commerce market in 2023 and expectations for the end of the year
- What will be the estimated balance of the e-commerce sector this year and what can we expect in 2024 taking into account the current economic context?
Open for dialogue and questions from the audience: Andrei Cânda (Managing Partner iSense Solutions), Cristi Movilă (ARMO President & General Manager VTEX Eastern Europe), Elena Gheorghe (Country Manager PayU România), Elena Oprea (Director Acceptance & Acquirers Visa Europe), Oana Dumitrescu (Industry Head & Retail Lead Google)
Host: Andrei Radu (CEO & Founder GPeC)
The forces that motivate people are not always clear and easy to understand. And our emotions sometimes play a surprising role.
In this talk, Dan Ariely will describe some experiments on what motivates us in our professional and in our personal lives.
These experiments show that what we often think of as motivators don’t always motivate us. And what we think doesn’t matter sometimes end up being very important.
By the end of this talk you should be able to modify your current approach to be a bit better at motivating those around you.

So you want to do A/B Testing?
A/B Testing without a strategy won’t get you far. What we’ve seen over the years is that companies that begin A/B Testing based on hopes and dreams find themselves:
1. Not able to justify the cost of the program/software
2. Unable to consistently move the needle
3. Struggling to make any meaning from the results.
A/B Testing is a tool that helps us measure our Conversion Optimization work. The work and effort that results in the prioritization and conversion roadmap need to come first in order to find a better strategy to build on.
But it doesn’t stop there – the A/B testing you’re conducting is a part of the research – ample time needs to be spent on coming up with the experiment as well as understanding the findings of the experiment and the analysis that will feed back into my roadmap.
In this keynote, you will learn some tips and tricks for prioritizing your experiments as well as what to do with the results and how to maximize the benefit from them.

Meta Ads campaigns don’t work like they used to a few years ago – costs are constantly increasing along with increasing competition and Google Ads campaigns are becoming more and more automated and less transparent.

- With increasing customer acquisition costs in Google and Meta Ads campaigns, what are the tactics an online store can apply to optimise its marketing budget?

This will lead to more sales, higher average order value and increased profit while lowering your cost per acquisition.

After an accelerated growth during the pandemic, the e-commerce market began to settle down and the focus of online stores slowly shifted from acquiring new customers to retaining the existing ones and increasing the purchase frequency.

- What are the tools that e-commerce platforms provide to improve the conversion rate
- How to Increase Average Transaction Value (AOV), Conversion Rate (CRO) and Value Per Customer (LTV) with Marketing Automation Solutions
