  • Measured by add to cart

  • Measured by completed purchases

In this experiment, conversational filters were tested at the top of some listing pages. Instead of showing one set of product filters, customers were shown three sets of product questions. After selecting each answer, product results would narrow and update further down on the page. Impact on adds to cart and sales were measured.

  • Measured by completed orders

In this experiment, product pages (variant) asked users if they were interested to see holiday gifts with two buttons. Upon clicking "yes", the UI expanded to make another choice in order to see gifts for: Her, Him or Kids. Clicking any of these three would send users to dedicated listing pages with more product recommendations. Impact on sales was measured.

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.
