So, how does Instant consistently achieve a 50% better conversion rate compared to the generic checkout experience? To delve into this, we must first explore the realm of online behaviour and the intricate shopper network.
Online behaviour and the shopper network
As humans, we're naturally curious and eager to explore. Thanks to the internet, companies can tap into the online habits of their target audiences. They do this to boost their brand's recognition through various online encounters, this keeps users interested and helps lead them towards making a purchase. These connected online actions play a key role in shaping how we shop today. They affect what we buy, what's popular, and how the market changes. Businesses use learnings from buyer behaviour to create marketing plans, make online experiences better, and build strong relationships with their audience.
Instant leverages this network to convert buyers. First, we help our customers grow their mailing list by 15x. Receiving highly deliverable, opted-in email addresses to which our customers can retarget across the shopper network and move them down the funnel. Second, we enhance the current cart abandonment issue by increasing the reach of those who have added items to their cart, yet haven’t completed a form. They are then triggered in the convert email automation, increasing our customer’s revenue by 5x!

We started out with a goal to simplify the way a consumer shops online. Our MVP was (and still is) 4x speedier than the generic checkout flow for first time purchases using Instant.
