Executive summary 

La Vie en Rose faced a critical challenge: strong mobile traffic but lower conversion rates compared to desktop users. Inconsistent tracking data made it impossible to identify optimization opportunities. Niteco's integrated approach combined comprehensive data infrastructure rebuilding with strategic Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) to unlock hidden revenue potential. 

Key results: 

• 4.3% year-over-year increase in sitewide add-to-cart rate 
• 14% increase in mobile Product Listing Page add-to-cart actions 
• Complete GA4 tracking overhaul providing reliable, actionable insights 
• Streamlined mobile experience bridging the desktop-mobile conversion gap 

The challenge: Strong traffic, hidden opportunities 

La Vie en Rose and Bikini Village attracted substantial website traffic, with mobile sessions dominating their visitor base. However, a significant performance gap existed: desktop users consistently converted at higher rates than mobile visitors, representing substantial untapped revenue potential. 

The data dilemma 

While existing analytics provided some insights into user behavior, critical issues prevented confident decision-making: 

• Inconsistent tracking events across the customer journey 
• Fragmented data layers that didn't accurately reflect user behavior 
• Mixed market data combining Canadian and U.S. performance metrics 
• GA4 implementation gaps that obscured true conversion opportunities 

This data unreliability meant the team couldn't confidently identify where mobile visitors were dropping off or understand why the desktop-mobile conversion gap was wider than typical industry benchmarks. 

Strategic objectives 

Rather than pursuing quick conversion rate fixes, we focused on building a sustainable foundation for long-term growth: 

• Establish reliable tracking infrastructure aligned with GA4 standards 
• Gain clear visibility into the complete customer journey 
• Identify and address mobile-specific friction points 
• Create a scalable framework for continuous optimization 

Our integrated solution: Data foundation + strategic CRO 

Phase 1: Data infrastructure transformation 

Our Data Analytics team conducted a comprehensive audit of la Vie en Rose's existing tracking ecosystem, including GA4 implementation, Google Tag Manager (GTM) setup, and website data layers. 

Key discoveries: 

• Misaligned events that didn't match actual customer behavior 
• Incomplete data layers preventing accurate journey tracking 
• Combined market data that obscured regional performance insights 

Our rebuilding process: 

Market segmentation: 

• Separated Canadian and U.S. properties for precise regional analysis 
• Enabled targeted advertising performance tracking for each market 
• Improved campaign attribution and ROI measurement 

Event architecture redesign:

• Rebuilt GA4 events to accurately reflect customer journey touchpoints 
• Implemented comprehensive data layer extensions for end-to-end verification 
• Ensured consistent tracking across all user interactions 

Unified analytics dashboard:

• Integrated GA4, GTM, and custom Looker Studio dashboards 
• Created a single source of truth for business leaders and marketers 
• Enabled real-time performance monitoring and decision-making 

Phase 2: Strategic CRO implementation 

With reliable data infrastructure in place, our CRO strategists conducted deep behavioral analysis to identify optimization opportunities. 

Critical insight discovery: Desktop users utilizing Quick View on Product Listing Pages converted 2.4 times more than those who didn't, but this feature wasn't optimized for mobile users. 

Strategic interventions:

Mobile Quick View enhancement: 

• Developed mobile-optimized Quick View functionality for Product Listing Pages 
• Added direct Add-to-Cart capability within Quick View experience 
• Streamlined the mobile purchase journey to reduce friction 

A/B testing framework: 

• Implemented structured experimentation using Optimizely 
• Validated all improvements through statistical significance testing 
• Ensured measurable impact before full rollout 

Agile collaboration: 

• Worked in integrated sprints with the developers team 
• Used Azure DevOps for transparent progress tracking 
• Maintained continuous communication throughout implementation 

Exceptional results: Data-driven growth 

Performance improvements 

Sitewide impact: 

• 4.3% year-over-year increase in add-to-cart rate across all traffic 
• Sustained performance improvement demonstrating solution durability 

Mobile-specific gains: 

• 14% increase in mobile Product Listing Page add-to-cart actions 
• Created new revenue stream from previously non-existent functionality 
• Significantly narrowed the desktop-mobile conversion gap 

Infrastructure benefits 

Enhanced decision-making: 

• Complete visibility into true customer journey patterns 
• Reliable data foundation supporting confident optimization decisions 
• Separated market insights enabling targeted regional strategies 

Scalable growth framework: 

• Robust tracking infrastructure supporting future optimization initiatives 
• Comprehensive A/B testing capabilities for continuous improvement 
• Integrated analytics dashboard facilitating ongoing performance monitoring 

The strategic impact 

This transformation demonstrates how foundational data infrastructure directly enables revenue growth. By addressing tracking reliability before pursuing optimization tactics, we created sustainable improvements that compound over time. 

Key success factors 

• Foundation-first spproach: Rather than applying quick fixes to unreliable data, we rebuilt the entire tracking ecosystem to ensure accurate insights and sustainable improvements. 
• Integrated methodology: Combining data analytics expertise with strategic CRO created synergistic results that neither discipline could achieve independently. 
• Continuous validation: Every optimization underwent rigorous A/B testing, ensuring statistical significance and measurable business impact. 
• Collaborative implementation: Working closely with la Vie en Rose's team ensured knowledge transfer and sustainable long-term success.
