iPad Giving Irish Retailers 350% Better Conversion Rate Than iPhone 0

Posted on July 14, 2010 by Emer McCormack

The Apple iPad may not have yet officially launched in the Ireland, but that isn’t stopping the device from performing better for retailers than the iPhone.
Despite having not being released in Ireland yet, an initial like-for-like comparison of conversion rates of visitors to buyers has revealed that the iPad is going to be a much more effective online buying platform than the iPhone.

Ireland’s leading takeaway website, www.Just-Eat.ie, analysed the operating systems people use to order takeaway food through, and discovered that despite the fact that the Apple iPad has not yet been released in the Ireland; hundreds of owners are already using the device to order takeaway food online and its sales conversion rate is much higher than iPhone users.

The company’s statistics show that, on average, iPad sales conversions are running at 1 in 3, 34.9%, of browsers ordering, yet iPhone sales conversions are running at 7.64%. The iPod Touch browser to buyer conversion rate stands at 10.62%.

The Just-Eat network service more than 45,000 meal orders in any given 24 hour period, and has decided to release the information regarding the operating systems people use to access the Just-Eat website from, in order to show the potential of the iPad with regards to online retail.

The iPhone accounts for ten times more traffic to the site than the Android operating system, Symbian Operating System or RIM’s BlackBerry browser, whilst twice as many people use the PlayStation 3 browser to access the website when compared to the Nintendo Wii.

Here are the top methods users of Just-Eat.ie use to access the website, not including access through Windows or a Mac.

  1. iPhone – 58.7%
  2. Linux – 11.54%
  3. iPod Touch – 7.64%
  4. SymbianOS – 5.85%
  5. Android – 5.85%
  6. BlackBerry – 5.04%
  7. Playstation 3 – 2.11%
  8. Nintendo Wii  - 0.98%
  9. Sony – 0.81%

10.  Samsung – 0.65%

11.  iPad – 0.49%

12.  Nokia – 0.16%

13.  LG – 0.16%

James Galvin, Managing Director of Just-Eat.ie had the following to say,

“As soon as the iPad was announced, we were quietly confident that it would be an online retail game changer, as its simplicity and hassle-free design lend nicely to browsing whilst sat in front of the TV, often the time consumers are most likely to buy or order online.

“The device hasn’t even launched in Ireland yet and we’ve already seen more site traffic via the iPad than via established web-ready portable devices such as the Sony PSP.”

He continued,

“Thousands of people access Just-Eat.ie website every month using the iPhone web browser, and we fully expect the iPad to exceed this after launching at the end of this month. We are extremely excited about the potential of the iPad, especially after this great start, and truly believe it will be a huge sales driver for many retail outlets online, including ours.”

Nicole models our new postersThe 2010 World Cup Finals are almost upon us with only a few days left to go. It only seems like yesterday when Thierry Henry gave a helping hand to France’s qualification. The pain still runs very deep for many us. This frustration led to us building the website ‘AnyoneButFrance.ie’, and the subsequent Facebook fan page now has almost 3,000 members signed up. The inetrest and support has been phenomenal.

As well as some tounge-in-cheek fun, we have also teamed up with a number of restaurants nationally to promote the ‘Hand-Burger’. This burger is a bacon and cheese burger made with 100% Irish ingredients and will NOT contain onions, mayonaise or garlic. CLICK HERE for the latest list of participating restaurants.

Get on board and support this great campaign, and eat Irish during this World Cup!

Emer McCormack Just-Eat.ie Online Marketing Manager talks about marketing on the interweb.


Hello I am Emer McCormack and I joined Just-Eat.ie in January 2010 and I love Just-Eat.ie purely because I am a online geek but mainly because it is a forward thinking, progressive company. Just-Eat is only two years in Ireland and its already Ireland’s No.1 Food Ordering Website! I think that is very impressive.

My role as Online Marketing Manager can range from designing websites, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Search Engine Marketing, PPC, Managing Social Media Channels and Reputation Management, Affiliate Marketing etc and that is just online. I also apply my expertise in other areas in offline marketing such as radio advertising, print media and PR etc.

Online marketing means you have to have your finger on the pulse of all online activity at all times especially if your ‘brand’ is being talked about. This includes monitoring Google alerts, responding to tweets and Facebook messages.  It  doesn’t matter what day of the week communication comes in or at what time of day or night, you have to manage it effectively. That’s why everywhere I go I have my Blackberry and iPhone with me and my laptop is never far away.

The reason why I decided to write this entry was mainly because I often get asked “what is it that a Online Marketing Manager does?”  I hope I have answered it now.  The truth is I don’t work alone, we work as a team in Just-Eat.ie and this is fundamental to its overall success to date.

So, that’s me. I love to meet new people so please don’t be shy and say hello.

Funky Survey Questions Answered by Just-Eat.ie Fans. 1

Posted on May 04, 2010 by Emer McCormack

By having access to a loyal ‘fan’ base on Facebook we have a fantastic opportunity to ask a few question from time to time to our friends. Today I asked a few quirky questions to obtain an understanding of what our fans really think of us and also to find out who are ‘fans’ are. Enjoy the read.

What is your name?

Joe Murphy

Are you in good form?

Yeah, actually. =)

How old are you ?

35.

What do you do? As in occupation -

Administrator and online marketing guy for a nonprofit, plus I consult on online marketing for some small press publishers.

What part of this wonderful Island do you live in?

Dublin.

What are you passionate about?

Communication. Questions. Creativity. Food and drink. Games.

Have you used Just-Eat.ie before?

Yes, but only a handful of times.

If so, what do you think of it?

Good. The site is bright and fairly clean. The user experience is good. The range of places I can order from is good. And the site has improved since the first time I used it.

How often would you order?

Maybe once a month?

What is your favourite food?

Japanese right now, but it varies a lot. Craft beer.

Daddy or Chips?

Chips, with brown sauce, thank you.

Why did you join our Fan Page?

Whenever we order food online, we google for vouchers. We noticed the Facebook page occasionally had some, and wanted to keep up to date.

Did you hear of Just-Eat.ie prior to joining our Facebook Fan page?

Yes. But the page has encouraged me to stick around.

Do you like the way we communicate on Facebook?

*Definitely*. Warm, funny, engaging, chatty. You’re doing it right. I’ve used the competitions and the way they encourage the promotion of your brand (hey everyone, spam your pals!) as classic examples of how to use Facebook well.

Do you think we’re a cool brand?

I think so, yes. Takeaway food isn’t *very* cool, but you do it well.

Plus, your site’s good – I like the little bios.That sort of human face to an organisation gets me every time. It’s worth doing, but I know many organisations find that transparency threatening (like mine).

Thanks for taking the time out to answer these few questions, we think you’re cool .

Likewise!
