Bryan Eisenberg Discusses Testing With Mayer Gniwisch, President of Ice.com
As part of the research for our latest book, Always Be Testing, I had the pleasure to chat with several people about testing and how testing lives in their corporate culture. This one, with Mayer Gniwisch, President of Ice.Com and Diamond.com provides some practical advise on testing from the perspective of a retailer. Take some time to listen to my interview with Mayer. Mayer was kind enough to offer a discount for listeners: Save 20% at ice.com, just use code sam20 or save 20% at diamond.com by using code sam02.

WOW, great interview.
One day, God willing I will be testing too. I am hopefully humble; I realized long ago I do not know everything. Let alone the Internet and Ecommerce.
I have started reading your book ‘Always Be Testing’. My issue is, I work a regular 40 hour a week job and manage my ecommerce website with my remaining time. So time is limited.
I am very convinced testing is very important. I am just having a bit of difficultly getting started, (little time and lack of knowledge). I am trying to find some help to guide me in the beginning to get started.
I am sure things will work out; I just need to dive in and go for it.

Great interview. I think a lot of people get hung up on trying to figure out how to do their very first test. Any advice on how to test something small but significant on a site?

I wonder how many people are buying diamonds in this economy. I would suggest the smaller/cheaper diamonds are certainly picking up steam and the expensive ones are somewhat only being sought by the top tier of society.
It’ll be interesting to follow these guys and other high end jewelry biz like nile with this degrading economy and see what countermeasures they put in place to ensure people continue buying overpriced rocks.
