  • Measured by annual plan purchases

  • Measured by any plan purchases

In this experiment, the annual plan was preselected instead of starting off unselected in the control. Impact on two metrics was measured: any plan andĀ annual plan purchases.

  • Measured by adds to cart

  • Measured by completed sales

In this experiment, a club subscription duration was preselected to 6 in the variation. The control had no club durations preselected. As a result of preselecting a club duration, a more visible price also appeared at the top (sooner in the variation). Impact on sales was measured.

  • Measured by adds to cart

  • Measured by completed sales

Here we have an experiment with a variation that preselected an option for a club duration. The control required customers to first express the choice for how many months they would like to order a product for. Whereas the variation defaulted to 12 months from the beginning.

Impact on adds-to-cart and sales was measured. The experiment unfortunately had to be stopped early due to another embedded variation that was performing poorly. And so it does not have many transactions.

For each pattern, we measure three key data points derived from related tests:

REPEATABILITY - this is a measure of how often a given pattern has generated a positive or negative effect. The higher this number, the more likely the pattern will continue to repeat.

SHALLOW MEDIAN - this is a median effect measured with low intent actions such as initiating the first step of a lengthier process

DEEP MEDIAN - this is derived from the highest intent metrics that we have for a given test such as fully completed signups or sales.
