All Latest 645 A/B Tests

In this experiment, a floating top navigation was shown with a "Join" button. In the control, the navigation was only visible at the top of the page. Also keep in mind that signup starts were also triggered throughout multiple CTAs throughout the page and from particular job detail pages. The a/b test ran on a listing page of Backstage - a casting call job site. Impact on signups  and checkouts was measured.

In this listing page experiment, color sets of the same product were tested against individual products with unique colors (with additional product tiles). Essentially, the A version here contained fewer product items (with color sets), while the B version contained more results and tiles (with grouped products). Impact on total sales was measured.

(The original control and variation was inverted, but was flipped to match the fewer or more results pattern).

In this experiment, a cancelation guarantee was added believing it would make users feel safer while canceling their contracts with Volders (the paid service being offered). The variation appended a Guarantee in the headline as a hyperlink with an explanatory tooltip shown on hover. This variation change was added to multiple screens throughout the checkout flow (a 5 step process).

In this experiment, hamburger navigation with product links, was removed from the shopping / add to cart page. Tertiary links (How It Works, Guarantee details and support pages) were also removed, while a "Secure Checkout" message was brought into the header. This header version was already present on the next checkout page, and was copied over one step earlier. The idea was to keep customers within the checkout flow. Impact on sales was measured.

In this experiment, a more difficult step of a contract cancelation service flow was rearranged toward a later step. In the variation, the easier step (hypothetically) with personal details and address fields was placed as the first step. Whereas the step with contract or account numbers (hypothetically more difficult) were placed as the second step.

In this experiment, the footer was simplified with multiple elements being removed (catalog request, secondary links, and a guarantee). Additionally, a more prominent phone number was also displayed.

In this shopping cart experiment, a tall footer was completely removed. The footer contained elements such as: app download links, a newsletter signup, secondary web site links, trust symbols, social media icons and company contant information. Impact on sales was measured.

In this experiment, a count down timer was added near the top of a checkout page. The timer was only shown before 1pm and clarified that the serivce (contract cancellation) will be initiated on the same day if users act before a cut off time. Impact on completed payments was measured.

In this experiment, a product comparison table was added in the middle of a product detail page. The comparison table contained products from the same class or family of products. Clicking on the photo thumbnails also allowed customers to visit the specific detail page. Impact on adds to cart and transactions was measured.

In this experiment, top category navigation (with fly out categories) was removed from the shopping cart of an online store. Impact on sale transactions was measured.

In this experiment, bestselling product colors were highlighted with a bestseller badge on product listing and product detail pages.

In this experiment, an additional purchase trigger was added - the ability to start by chosing a gift announcement option. In the control, this same question was asked further in the purchase funnel (after adding to cart). In the variation, this question was surfaced earlier as an alternative way of starting the purchase. Impact on total sales was measured.

In this experiment, a floating add-to-cart with two product choices (color and size) were added on a product page. This appeared only after scrolling past the existing / embedded product selection buy box.

The floating add-to-cart widget had another layer of complexity in that it allowed customers to make a size and color selection with an expandable fly out. Making a selection would also append the total price to the add-to-cart button label.

Impact on total transactions was measured.

In this experiment, three testimonials were appended at the bottom of landing pages of a contract cancelation service (paid). These testimonials were also shown throughout the complete signup funnel (4 more steps). Impact on progression (step 2) and final completed purchases were measured.

In this experiment, four TrustPilot reviews were appended at the bottom of landing pages of a contract cancelation service (paid). These reviews were also shown throughout the complete signup funnel (4 more steps). Impact on progression (step 2) and final completed purchases were measured.

In this experiment, a floating sticky bar was added on product pages. The sticky elements only appeared after users scrolled beyond the fixed buy box  area that is relatively high on the page (visible on the control screenshot). The sticky bar contained three elements: a button to configure up to three product choices, a flavor selection pulldown, and the add-to-cart button. 

In the variation, when users clicked on the flavor pulldown three things happened. First, they were anchored back to the top of the buy box. Second, the floating sticky disappeared. And third, the flavors pulldown automatically expanded (overlapping the original primary add-to-cart button).

The control did not have any of the sticky behaviors.

Impact to total sales was measured.

In this experiment, the call to action or button was raised above the legal text to be visible right away without scrolling. Additionally a error message was added for users that did not activate the checkbox to remind them that this is mandatory. Impact on signups and eventual follow-through to purchases (3 steps later) was measured.

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, 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).
