We are working with Belk.com in their search for a Web Analyst based in Charlotte, NC.
Belk is the nation’s largest privately owned mainline department store company with more than 300 fashion department stores in 16 contiguous Southern states and sales totaling $3.5 billion in its past fiscal year. The company seeks to be the department store of choice in each community it serves by providing superior service and merchandise that meets customers’ needs for fashion, value and quality.
Currently, Belk.com’s traffic looks like this:
NOTE: Belk’s traffic did not even exist just four short years ago, and they’re currently cranking along now at 700K monthly uniques in non-peak periods. Seriously: I did Belk’s first-ever search for a VP of Ecommerce back in 2007, and this company has come a loooooong way in their DTC business since then. The company continues to hire star-level talent, and if the industry average of 10% ecommerce-to-store sales is any indication, Belk.com could become a $200-300 million multichannel ecommerce play in the next 3-5 years. And YOU can be a part of that growth.
