All Latest 503 A/B Tests

This was a larger leap experiment with numerous changes to the header part of a design program landing page. One of the key changes however was a shift from a single to multiple call to actions for lead generation. In the control, all potential leads would first funnel through a single syllabus download flow. In the variation, users were given three visible choices: download syllabus, webinar signup and/or book a live call with admissions. Impact on overall generated leads was measured, as well as paid enrollments.

In this experiment, an additional and alternative text based call to action link was added on real estate properity listings. Instead of only having "Ligar" ("Call"), "Enviar mensagem" was also appended ("Send Message"). This additional link lead to a lead-gen form. 

In this experiment, the addition of a secondary CTA for lead generation in the nav and the hero were tested. The additional button invited users to watch a gated demo video (approx 12 minutes). Clicking the CTA triggered a pop-up form collecting some basic contact information before the user could access the video page. Total leads were measured with lead form submittions. 

In this experiment, social proof and scarcity messages were shown on a course enrollment landing page. When students were starting to sign up at the beginning of each month (with greater availability), a simpler "X students have already enrolled in the next cohort" message was used.

Later in the month when fewer spots were available, a more scarce message was used with the following copy "ONLY X SPOTS available in the next cohort".

In both cases, the numbers were accurate and dynamically updated.

In this experiment, a question about a customer's reason for purchase was broken out into a separate step and moved earlier in the process. In the control, this question was asked in the final checkout step along with a plan selection (Step 4 of 4). In the variation, this question was shifted as a standalone first step (Step 1 of 5). Impact on completed purchases was measured (for a contract cancellation service in this case).

In this experiment a dynamic canned response was added to a lead form. The contents of the copy reflected a handful of user choices from other form field selections. Impact on leads / form submissions was measured.

In this experiment, an upsell modal appeared during a signup funnel. In the variation, if users did not select a monthly plan, they were nudged to an annual one. Impact on overall and annual signups was measured.

In this experiment, search functionality was added in the variation, globally on mobile. Impact on sales was measured

In this experiment, a historically higher price point was added as a crossed out anchor. The control only showed the current price. The variation showed the current price with the higher price crossed out. Impact on sales was measured.

In this test 1) a passive hint communicated to users that their data will be saved for 7 days for them to be able to continue their cancellation later and 2) dropped off users were targeted with an email campaign within the first 4 hours after drop off. The reminder email linked users to a shipping page (checkout page) without them requiring to fill out their personal, contract information one more time. 

Upon clicking the Add-To-Cart button, the button label changed to a cheering message which congratulated the user on his choice and ensuring that shipping is free. Translation: "Good choice. Your shipping and returns are free."

In this experiment, the course enrollment start date was moved from step 2 to step 1 of an enrollment / checkout flow. The test was run by Designlab - that offers design courses and education with a strong element of mentorship. Impact on progression to next step and completed transactions were measured.

In this experiment, a single step popup modal was tested against a 4 step sign up funnel. Users entered the experiment on the homepage and the behavior of the two buttons, book a demo and get a quote, was adjusted. Impact on leads was measured.

In this experiment, an "optional" label was shown near a message form field. Impact on overall leads was measured (requesting experts).

A birthdate field was removed during a signup process for a paid contract cancellation service. Impact on progression (next step) and sales (completed transactions) was measured.

Fluke is an industrial manufacterer of measurement and calibration devices and they ran a test on their Amazon store for a series of their prodcts. Instead of using short product names, they tested longer and more descriptive ones. Impact was measured on sales.

In this experiment, pricing plans were laid out horizontally for easier comparison. In the variation, most of the plan benefits, features and differences were also referenced using a single lable that was left-aligned. The idea was to make the variables aligned and therefore more comparable.

This pricing table appeared at the bottom of a long design program landing page. Impact on leads and applications was measured.

In this experiment, popular product category links were added near the bottom of the homepage of an online grocery store - Metro. Impact on completed sales was measured.

CXL ran an interesting experiment that (1) added more specificity on a newsletter subscription page as well as (2) reinforced it consistently. Most visibly, an abstract or vague headline statement (control) was changed to a benefit oriented one - hinting that subscribers will eventually receive valuable case studies. This message was further reinforced with supporting copy that explained where these case studies are obtained from along with the frequency of the delivery. This same message was also reinforced with an image of actual case studies. The call to action button was also adjusted to mimic the benefit.

Impact on newsletter signups was measured.

In this experiment, copy was added which communicated that students signing up for a course would receive extra design resources (the lead magnet). This was added in multiple states of the course page. Impact on lead generation and enrollment was measured.
