PixelMEDIA Helps Easton Hit a Home Run with Salesforce Commerce Cloud

PORTSMOUTH, New Hampshire, August 29, 2018 – Easton Diamond Sports, the world's leading manufacturer of baseball and softball equipment has seen strong ecommerce growth since their launch on Salesforce Commerce Cloud by PixelMEDIA in May.

"To accomplish the next level of our ecommerce experience, we knew it was time to implement another platform. We looked at a few possible partners, but Pixel's approach and track record of success within all aspects of Salesforce Commerce Cloud gave us the confidence that we would be able to accomplish a new standup quickly and efficiently," says Bob Jones, Director of Ecommerce, Easton Diamond Sports.

Bob Jones, Director of Ecommerce, Easton Diamond Sports, goes on, "Open communication and a strong dedication to client relationships sets PixelMEDIA apart from other System Integrators."

"What made this project special was the Easton teams' commitment to meeting dates within an aggressive launch schedule. At the end of the day it's about the strength of the relationship, and knowing that you both have each other's back, to work toward the same goal. Bob and I spoke almost daily, if only for five minutes, and that meant everything to the teams on both sides," adds Thomas Obrey, CTO & Co-Founder at PixelMEDIA.

After working with Pixel, Easton went live in May, just 16 weeks post-discovery. This quick-start success resulted in the team being a featured talk at the Salesforce Connections Conference in Chicago in June as part of the Trailblazer Theater program. During the show Easton's Director of Ecommerce Bob Jones, and Pixel co-founder Thomas Obrey spoke candidly about what makes a great partner and brand relationship work. Bob and Thomas are also doing an expanded version of the presentation next month at Dreamforce '18, September 25–28 in San Francisco, California.

As efforts continue with both teams working to optimize Easton's commerce experience, the initial 12-week results have shown impressive growth in both revenue and conversion rates when compared to the previous year. Optimizations to the Easton website have drastically improved site efficiencies and user experience, including lowering the bounce rate by 33% and increasing time on site by 41%. Mobile optimizations show drastic lifts, with an explosive 200% increase in mobile conversion rate.
