In this experiment, an FAQ section was added near the bottom of a long product page. The reviews were collapsed by default, but expandable upon clicking. Impact on adds-to-cart and sales was measured.

In this experiment, a social proof popups were added to the signup / funnel pages for a contract cancellation service. The added social testimonials appeared as other customers used the service, anywhere except on the final checkout page. Additionaly, the interval at which these messaged appeared was 60 seconds, and they were shown for 10s. The messages translated to "[Name] had recently canncelled a contract with [Company], in the last 38 minutes". Impact on sales was measured.

In this product detail page experiment, a number of reassurances were brought out visually in a lined or bulleted way. The 4 reassurances included: free shipping and returns; Made in Germany, 90 Day Returns; and Buy With Invoice (popular in Germany). Impact on revenue per user was measured. The control contained very feint copy (smaller and more subtle) about free shipping.

In this experiment, copy was added which showed the number of experts (in a given category) a person may gain access to after filling out a lead form. The context of this is a lead-gen landing page where people are seeking experts for legal purposes. Impact on initial progression (of a multi step form) and completed leads was measured.

This experiment explored a pricing layout that enabled more feature comparisons. It also conveyed more clearly which features were missing between plans. The test has been inspired by this Netflix experiment. Impact on sales was measured.

In this experiment, standard $ signs and cents were formatted into a smaller superscript. Impact on add-to-cart and sales was measured.

In this product detail page experiment, reassurances under the add-to-cart button were rearranged. The control contained copy about: free shipping and free returns formatted as two gray boxes, with a variety of payment methods and their corresponding logos underneath.

The variation used a more convention bulleted, line-by-line format. It also contained free shipping and returns, but also elaborated with "100 day returns", an "anti-hole guarantee", and "purchase with invoice" (perhaps more popular in Germany?). Impact on sales was measured.

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, supporting university logos were appended near the primary call to action for additional credibility. These logos were placed around the middle of long landing pages on Expert Institute's web site (where experts for legal advice are searched). Impact on total leads was measured.

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.
