Etsy A/B Tests 3 Footer Variations With Their Story And Customer Support Links

Leak #105 from Etsy.com   |   Mar 26, 2024 Home & Landing

Etsy was noticed testing at least 3 different footer variations which lead customers to a help center page. The longest variation with the most number of paragraphs also showed Etsy's story and community values - which seems to have been rejected. While variation (C) with two very concise and expandable questions, seems to have been rolled out - perhaps somewhat similar to the Frequently Asked Questions pattern.

  2. Shorter / Expandable What-Is-Etsy Footer

    This variation condensed the footer to only two questions and the Help Center link.
