Fanatics Leverages SiteSpect Origin Experiments® to Create a Winning Shopping Experience for Sports Fans


SiteSpect, the leading provider of digital business optimization solutions, has a long list of customers committed to creating innovative websites that provide their visitors with the best possible online experience. Long-time SiteSpect customer, Fanatics, a top-50 Internet Retailer company, is one such company that has taken testing and optimization to a whole new level. Fanatics is using SiteSpect's Origin Experiments to test far more than just site aesthetics, such as headlines and font color. In fact, SiteSpect empowers Fanatics to execute a broad range of tests on new site features and functionality, such as on-site search and checkout flow.

Fanatics is the market leader for officially licensed sports merchandise and provides the ultimate shopping experience to sports fans. It also powers the e-commerce business for all major professional sports leagues, including the NFL, MLB (News - Alert), NBA, NHL, NASCAR, PGA, and UFC.

"Our long-term partnership with SiteSpect has been a successful one," said Scott Gude, VP of Site Experience at Fanatics. "The Origin Experiments feature of SiteSpect's Digital Optimization Platform helps us to achieve and surpass our goals, while continuously enhancing the excellent shopping experience our customers have come to expect from us."

"SiteSpect is thrilled to play a part in Fanatics' success as a top destination for team merchandise," said Eric J. Hansen, Founder nd CEO of SiteSpect. "We designed and developed SiteSpect for customers that want to turbocharge their testing and optimization programs. As a company that offers hundreds of thousands of products, Fanatics is an ideal customer for the most advanced, in-depth experimentation that SiteSpect offers."



The SiteSpect Digital Optimization Platform frees companies from the constraints and compromises of traditional tag (News - Alert)-based tools, so they can optimize every aspect of their digital business. Tag-based approaches induce latency and "flicker" that disrupt the user experience and skew test results. They also suffer from set-up complexities and security exposures, which make testing periodic and limited in scope.

With SiteSpect's unique Proxy Technology, companies have no limits to the speed, depth, or frequency of their testing. SiteSpect makes it easy to run hundreds to thousands of tests each year, giving companies the right metrics and meaningful insight necessary to continually deliver the best customer experiences. Now, every team in the organization can harness the power of testing to optimize their digital business: marketing, product, analytics, development, mobile, and UX.
