BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of an online e commerce store and I needed something to help me drive traffic to my site and improve my conversion rate. I hired penji. It was Great at first, but overall, there were just too many typos. It got to the point where it became too much work for me to move forward.

I was with the company for 4 months, and I will say for the first couple of months things seemed to moving along great, but then something happened and the amazing team I was paired with that moved things along and delivered what not only needed, but wanted, was no longer available to me, and from that point on I couldn’t get paired with a team that was in any way beneficial to me and could deliver what I wanted.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Penji, and what were your goals?

I was launching a retail e-commerce store, and I just didn’t know much about driving traffic to my store and converting browsers into actual shoppers. I wanted to grow my stores audience and make a name for my brand. I needed both organic and non organic traffic and I needed help doing that.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

I am totally in love with Penji. Cheesy but true. Their services have been valuable to me since last year. Penji has been supporting and for the most part, driving our design department. The amount of time I saved by using Penji definitely outweighs the fee. I personally was a bit hesitant because $600 is a lot of money.

I thought about hiring an intern or even online somewhere else, but just felt the most comfortable from the initial process of asking questions on the website to even the sign up process. Nothing but kudos and recommendations for the team at Penji.

Extremely efficient since I have had the positive impression of great and quick responses before choosing Penji through its reviews, and I thankfully received this impression from their staff, which I completely loved!
