• Path to Conversion: Website Stats

1. Visitors from the UFC.com Event overview page convert to a lead 2x more than event specific pages

2. Leads that came form an event specific page closed 2.5x more than a lead that came from the event overview page

3. Leads that leave a comment on the web form are 67% more likely to convert to a customer than non-comment leads

4. Leads that just fill out a form without subscribing to additional emails have an 8.4% higher customer conversion (they are more likely ready to buy)

5. Leads that visit an event specific page first have a 4.4% higher customer conversion percentage versus overview or secondary pages

6. Highest viewed secondary pages on UFCVIPE are client reviews (9%), FAQ (7%) and Newsletter subscribes (13%)

7. 26 Pages viewed before becoming a customer, 9 pages viewed before becoming a lead, the majority are switching between multiple package types and different events.

2015 Marketing Recommendations based on above stats

1. Setup trackable backlinks on http://www.ufc.com/event-ticket-info to “waiting list” pages on UFCVIPE for all PPV fights

2. Have another CTA above the scroll on the event specific page to increase impressions and potential click through to VIP program

3. QuintEvents Sales reps to prioritize leads with higher rank due to comment form fills will be contacted first

4. Insert a buy now option on the contact form with cart technology so leads can bypass the form process

5. Send all UFC emails, Quint Emails and social posts directly to the PPV fight versus an overview page

6. Client Review page is constantly updated after every survey or email received from a client so the content is fresh. UFC and Quint should review the FAQ page and see if there are additional items to add.

7. Create a chart on overview page that highlights the differences in packages for ease. Add sub navigation items on package pages for ease of toggle between other package options. Add additional ads for all active events on package pages. Offer as many PPV fights on the site as possible so we have a higher chance of converting to lead
