Groupon Landing Page

I was helping a Jewelry designer market and sell her jewelry on the Internet. To achieve the goals, I developed a plan, designed and coded a landing page and added key functionality to her web site to facilitate SEO and SEM. As a result, she was able to sell out her entire inventory of earrings in less than 36 hours using Groupon.  Gross sales revenue exceeded $121K and there were over 4050 orders from customers nationwide.

The Professional Service Group of Central New Jersey (PSGCNJ) is the nation’s first employment community that helps its unemployed, professional members advance their careers by putting them back into the workforce.
I was involved in helping students to improve their verbal and written communication skills, and encouraging students to expand their social networks.
PSGCNJ was originally part of the N.J. Department of Labor’s Professional Service Group program, which was launched in June 2008. There were 11 statewide chapters, including PSGCNJ, which was based in Somerville, N.J. The State of New Jersey defunded the PSG program on May 25, 2012.

Company wanted  to increase sell through at major retailers web sites. It also wanted to automate distribution on web content to major retailers website. Product line up was very complicated however. There were many variations of each product according to color and style. It was difficult to make sure all retailers had updated web content, images, videos, etc. for their specific product line. I came up with a solution for web content syndication. Evaluated vendors and finally negoitiated 10% discount with the best vendor. As a result Sales Increased by 41%, Visibility Increased  by 122% verified by web metrics.
