Course Topics

Module 1

Websites and UX (2hr 18min)

Website design is a key reason customers will decide to buy from you or buy from your competitor. That’s why a user-friendly design is a critical element of a good website. This module covers user experience (UX) and customer experience (CX) alongside other key eCommerce website features that will turn your customers from browsers into buyers.

No more abandoned carts in aisle 5!

The Practical Guide to writing to UX Writing for eCommerce Sites is yours to keep.

Module 2

SEM and Sales Channels (3hr 51min)

There’s no point to a stunning website if nobody can find you. In this module, you’ll learn how to use search marketing, email, affiliate and influencer marketing, and social media to reach the customers who are ready to buy what you’re selling.

Module two helps you gain an in-depth understanding of inbound channels. Learn how to create SEO and let your social media channels do the heavy lifting for you. Driving sales with affiliates, using automation and even how to optimise a paid search campaign, it’s all here.

You’ll receive three templates that you can use in your own eCommerce practice, including a PPC for eCommerce tracker, and Google Ads Creator template and an SEO Keyword Research toolkit.

Module 3

Awareness and Consideration Channels (3hr 3min)

There’s as many ways a customer will find their way to your website as there are the channels they took to get there. As the channels impact their readiness to buy, you need to find the best channels for all your customer avatars.

Module three covers inbound channels, such as your SEO content and social media as well as your outbound channels, display and video advertising and we’ll show you the only social media metrics you need to focus on.

This module includes a full digital marketing budget toolkit, a content and channel matrix template, a seasonal planning checklist and calendar, and a buyer persona template to keep.

Module 4

Social Commerce and eCommerce Tactics (3hr 21min)

Learn how to make a delighted customer from a scrolling browser by maximising your conversion rates and understanding your website analytics. We’ll show you how to spot (and create) website conversion opportunities, how to optimise these conversions and how to reduce those abandoned cart rates. Because nobody likes an abandoned cart!

A channel performance tracker, funnel conversion reporting toolkit and the all important target and KPI’s toolkits are yours to keep.

Module 5

Using Omnichannel and CRO to Improve the CX (1hr 59min)

It sounds complicated, but it’s really simply: nobody wants unhappy customers. From first contact to delighted, satisfied customer who’ll be back from more, the customer experience (CX) is a journey.

This fifth and final module brings everything together, encouraging you to think outside the box and be creative so even your basic CX will enhance the customer experience.

Your toolkits to keep will include a buyer persona template so that you can get to know your audience, and a channel performance tracker.

Now you’re almost done, you’re ready to dig right into optimising your eCommerce website with design and UX.

Despina Karatzias
Trainer “Learning is an experience. Everything else is just information.”
- Albert Einstein

I’ve worked in various digital marketing and business development roles for regional airlines, hotels and cruise liners. I managed a hot air balloon business, Global Ballooning Australia which took me around the world as I helped launch the experience to the international market. I penned what I learned in a self-published book, Adventures of a Balloon Girl.

In 2014 I followed my calling to teach and became a certified trainer and assessor launching my own training and mentoring practice. Since launching I have developed over 30 online and group training programs specialising in digital, social media marketing, and tourism.

What gets me out of bed in the morning?

Igniting excellence in people! I love spending time with my family and using all the digital tools available to help business and careers grow. What really gets me out of bed most mornings though is my 4.30am alarm. I love to start the day with a morning run or strength training to keep me fit and energised.
