Are these guys really good? Let's look at examples of their work, namely with large-scale projects, because the more difficult the tasks you completed, the easier it is to solve simple ones.
An example of a really difficult task can be the development of a complex solution for Hand & Stone franchise SPAs. They used the outdated Millennium POS in each of their 300+ establishments to manage client bookings, loyalty programs, and therapists' work schedules. An outdated solution did not allow you to book an appointment on mobile devices and in the most modern desktop browsers. Also, the site itself did not have an adaptive layout and was extremely unfriendly to mobile devices.
The amount of work was impressive.Detailed studies were carried out, based on which a new adaptive design was created. And the UX team has developed a completely new, intuitive information architecture for the platform. The user role system has been optimized, new information sections have been added, and navigation has been improved.
Additionally, to build this system developers had to work with a 3rd party point-of-sale SDK with very limited documentation and they were the first who successfully integrated these POS vendors SDK into a full-fledged online booking platform.
Sometimes the difficulty of the job lies not in its quantity but in the absence of experience. This happens quite often, regardless of the level of the company, it sooner or later face a problem that it can not solve on its own. After realizing the incompetence, the company hires qualified professionals such as Big Drop. The main thing is not to delay the decision, because time costs money. An example of such situation we can see in the case study concerning Miro Consulting company.
Miro Consulting specializes in auditing Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, and Adobe software, contracting, signing, and managing business licenses.
They tried to attract and convert business clients to their landing pages. And also identify how potential customers get to their site. However, they mismanaged their AdWords account and overpaid for completing the form.
After analyzing the situation, Big Drop found that the solution consisted of 4 key tasks:- Increase conversion rate- Decrease the cost of each conversion- Increase conversion rate per click- Attract new customers for the enterprise
Based on the analysis, a clear plan of action was developed.
The first step in restructuring Miro account was to reorganize and group your campaign structure by relevance and keywords. This is the best way to optimize your campaigns. The second step was to properly set up conversion tracking and analysis to determine the number of clients and the algorithm for their actions before converting.
Finally, Big Drop focused on improving quality and value for a potential customer by implementing a bid strategy. Working with their dedicated Google reps, they have developed and optimized a bidding strategy that maximized the potential for conversion. Besides, the Ad Rank was improved by raising its Quality Scores with a bid strategy.
The optimization result was noticeable in less than 90 days:- Cost per Lead became more efficient 75%- 191% increase in conversion Rate- 2000% ROI increase
The last case shows us the importance of properly organized technical support for high load services. Especially in cases when someone's life depends on the availability of this website.
The regional insurance company Federated National (FedNat) had problems with scalability and redundancy. They were looking for solutions to manage their growing companies. This decision was made to guarantee the ability to respond to the ever-increasing number of natural disasters. In particular, they were concerned about the reliability of their website during a particularly difficult hurricane season.
Assessing the situation, the Big Drop team realized that the client will need round-the-clock monitoring and maintenance during these peak periods. To ensure that the website never went down, all necessary steps were taken. Zero downtime was taken as standard.
When Hurricane Matthew was approaching Florida in the fall of 2016, FedNat was nervous that the server would not be able to handle the traffic to follow to their flood insurance pages. Since it was not possible to accurately predict the amount of traffic, a preventive strategy was chosen, focused on the maximum load level.A system of an additional allocation of servers was organized, which allowed providing 100% uptime. The monitoring showed the absence of critical points that would require the intervention of technicians. The created solution successfully coped with the task and was implemented continuously.
Big Drop has proven themselves as experts, and FedNat has repeatedly referred to them.Who knows how many people managed to avoid financial troubles with timely insurance?
