Do fewer confirmation form fields matter? In this experiment, redundant password and email confirmation fields were removed during a signup / checkout funnel. Impact on signups was measured.

Does adding Google's address auto complete functionality to an address field help with higher form completions? This auto fill feature has been tested in the variation of a contract cancellation funnel. After selecting an auto completed address from a pulldown menu, the following fields were preselected: house number, zip code, city and country (potentially lowering friction?). Impact on successful form completions (contract cancellations) has been measured. Notice how the form also expanded progressively upon selecting the complete address in the variation.  

Should prices be displayed during an editing state on an add-to-cart screen (after adding-to-cart from a product detail page)? In this experiment, club pricing was added and shown in three areas after customers clicked on a small "edit details" links. The control did not have this pricing information (which was only shown on a product detail screen before).

The Volders experimentation team assumed that adding information about how long it might take to get a cancellation confirmation near a CTA Button would result in higher cancellation requests (the paid service being offered).

The variation contained additional copy translated from German to: "Most of our users receive their cancellation confirmation from <vendor> within 14 days by email or letter."

Bottom aligned thumbnails were shifted to the left side on a product image. Doing so, also shifted the product descriptions a little higher. Impact on adds-to-cart and total transactions was measured.

Does linking to a product detail page help? Or should a homepage simply focus on generic lead generation? In this homepage experiment, the presence of a component with a link to a detailed course landing page was tested. Impact on course enrollments was measured.

In this experiment, the copy of an input textarea on a lead form was used to summarize a user's choices. Instead of showing using a generic "Message" statement, the variation use the following formula: "I'm a [Lead Type] located in [State] looking for [Expert Type]. Looking forward to hearing from you today. Thank You." Impact of leads was measured.

Here is a very simple experiment where CDN currency copy was appended to prices being shown on a Canadian ecommerce site. Additional copy ("from Canada") was appended to an existing shipping message.  

Here is an experiment with an added "price per pair" in the context of products with multiple items (packs).A high contrast badge-like copy was appended underneath the price which translates to "only $X per item". Impact on sales was measured.

In this experiment, the pricing of three software plans was consistently framed into a more comparable monthly context. Whereas the control version only showed the total prices for each plan, the variation showed both the total and monthly prices. Impact on sales was measured. 

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

In this experiment, the button width was extended to the full width of the form above. Impact on leads was measured.

In this experiment, an urgency related message with a dynamic countdown timer was added on the final checkout screen. Impact on sales was measured.

In this experiment on a product screen, a message about quality (from the founders) was reformatted to reinforce the "Anti Hole Guarantee" (in the context of socks). The founders were also made more prominent and their signature added as well. Interestingly, the actual guarantee copy (and its important detail about a 6 month product replacement) was present further down on both the control and variation.

The translation of the new copy (Google Translate) reads:

Since we founded SNOCKS, the quality and comfort of our products have always been our top priority. Why? When we both were still studying, we didn't have the money to buy new socks & underpants every 1-2 months. That's why it was clear to us from the start that we wanted to sell quality products that are also extremely comfortable. And just in case something goes wrong, we have decided to introduce an anti-hole guarantee.

In this experiment, top-aligned field labels were tested against floating labels (with labels floating inside the form field itself).

In this experiment a "Free Shipping & Returns" message was added just below the price information. 

In this experiment, two app download buttons were tested against a single OS personalized one. In the control, both branded App Store and Google Play buttons were shown statically. Whereas in the variation a single download (stylized consistently with site wide button styles) button was shown depending on the user's operating system. Impact on application download was measured.

In this experiment, a How It Works section was appended on a product detail page just above product reviews.

The variation included a simple extention of the headline to include the full dollar worth of a discounted bundle deal. 

In this experiment for an online design course, the variation had an extra section with student work previews. The previews were not clickable but were added just below the fold. Impact on leads was measured by potential students requesting a syllabus through an online form throughout the long landing page.
