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, 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, 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, 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 experiment, up to 5 recently viewed product pages would appear on the left hand navigation. The idea was to make it easier for users get back to what they were looking at in case they were browsing. These recently viewed products were not visibile in the control. Impact on adds-to-cart and completed transactions 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."

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, the presence of a discount modal (bigger discount for larger purchases) was tested on home and product pages. The trigger happend after a scroll down, a few second pause, and a mouse scroll up interaction. Impact on 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.

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.

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