We’ve had the new version of FrightCatalog.com up for a week now. We’ve had lots of great comments and feedback, but success is never really gauged by that. To that end, its good to see that a lot of hard work has paid off and I think we’re starting to see that from the numbers in Google Analytics

The first half of the month (July 1 – July 18) we saw 83,796 uniques, 9.27 pages/visit, and a 0.33% conversion rate.
The last week (July 19 – July 25), with the re-launch, we’ve seen 41,673 uniques, 12.00 pages/visit, and a 0.75% conversion rate.

Almost half the uniques in a 1 week period than we had in the first 18 days of the month. Page visits are up by almost 3.5, and our conversion rate has more than doubled. Good initial numbers after week one.

This is starting to prove that our de-facto framework for our e-commerce sites is pretty solid (all software can always be improved and we’ll continue to do so), and has a lot of promise. It’ll be nice to see how we do through the entire Halloween season with some new marketing initiatives in place. I hope this is a sign of good things to come in the coming months.
