In this experiment, the content on a product page was reorganized into a zigzagging (alternating layout) along with reinforcing photos. Impact on adds-to-cart and total sales was measured.

Three common delivery questions were answered at the bottom of a checkout page. 

In this experiment, the variation added a second total price at the bottom of the checkout screen just above the checkout button. The impact on sales was measured.

In this experiment, a listing page was expanded to show two actions (apply and view details) instead of a single one (view details only). This variation enabled users with a shortcut action to apply for roles one step earlier (and start membership flows for new users). 

In this experiment, a listing page was expanded to show two actions (apply and view details) instead of a single one (view details only). In the variant, the "view detail" links were replaced with "apply links" starting a job application (and membership flows) sooner. 

The variation here has more condensed product tiles being shown on a homepage. Two pieces of information were removed: product descriptions and past selections. Impact on product page visits and total sales was measured.

In this little experiment, an extra "Free Shipping" message was added on a product page. It's prominence was increased by using white copy on a darker blue background. Impact on adds-to-cart and total sales was measured.

In this experiment, an extra "Free Shipping" message was added on a product page - at the top of the buy box with an add-to-cart call to action. It's prominence was increased by using white copy on a darker blue background. Impact on adds-to-cart and total sales was measured.

In this experiment, a set of reassurances and reviews were added in the header of this ecommerce website. Translating from German, these read: "Anti Hole Guarantee", "Free Shipping" and "X Ratings out of Y Reviews".

This experiment tested the order of purchase plans. The control version sorted the purchase options by the least expensive while the variation sorted them by the most expensive first. Impact on sales and revenue was measured.

An extra "Place Order" button was duplicated above the fold on this checkout page. The control had a similar button further down at the bottom of the screen. The impact on total sales was measured from this change.

In this experiment, a 3 plan vs 2 plan pricing page was shown to potential customers. Impact on sales and revenue were measured.

In this experiment, we tested a visible "Shipping Frequency" (A) option against a progressively displayed one (B) that would only appear after someone first chose a duration option. Thus in variation B, the buy box component would initially appear with fewer fields and smaller. The experiment measured initial progression and actual sales. 

Note on the data: the experiment was run a little shorter than usual, as one of the variations triggered a stop rule to protect losses (so the effect might be somewhat inflated from a lower power).

In this experiment, category links (linking to casting call search results) were replaced with tile images. In addition, 2 levels of categories were also replaced with a single text link for each tile. Finally, the font size of the link titles was also increased.

In this experiment, the only change was an added message at the top of the pricing screen, clarifying that there is an active discount on a yearly plan. The discount was already communicated with a strike-through price on the control version as well. The variation simply emphasized this aggressively. 

In this experiment, a search input field (to look for companies) along with most popular links (also company names) were displayed on the homepage of a leading contract cancellation service. The control (A) version instead had a button that sent users to a next page where the same selection could be made - only later. The measurable success criteria were the number of paid cancellations - a few steps down the funnel.

In this experiment, a single screen checkout was turned into a series of smaller steps in variation B. This was achieved by showing fewer fields on the first step, and shifting the remaining ones into a 3 step modal popup. The experiment measured successful transactions (sales).

In this experiment a long form (A) was replaced with a progressive form interaction (B). Most of the form fields would appear in a grey-disabled style, until the prerequioste fields were first filled out.

In this experiment, at the bottom of a search results screen, a membership join button was added along with 3 encouraging reasons. The experiment measured membership funnel starts, as well as paid membership transactions (sales).
