In this experiment, the variation tracked how many people would add something to cart over the last 24 hours and display that just below the add to cart button. Impact on adds to cart and transactions was measured.

In this product detail page experiment a simple subheadline was appended to a new product. The tagline read "Lose weight sustainably and healthily." (Google translated from German "Nachhaltig und gesund Gewicht verlieren."). Impact on sales and revenue was measured.

This experiment was technically a larger multi-change one that ran on product detail pages. The control showed an automatically applied coupon (for people opening up targeted emails with the discount). The variation attempted to make this better with the following changes:

1. The discount message shifted closer towards the price / product selection (above the buy box)
2. Removal of sale discount amounts and messages tied to longer durations (6 and 12 month duration)
3. Reinforcing that the actual discount will be calculated further on checkout

In this experiment, the size of a saving amount badge was enlarged. Instead of typical badge, the variation stretched the height of the saving information to the full height of the duration selector. The font size was also increased. Impact on overall sales was measured.

In this experiment, selling points and benefits of a subscription were placed as bullets at the top of a checkout page. The benefits highlighted things such as: unlimited applications, access to vetted jobs and the ability to cancel anytime. Impact on sales was measured.

In this experiment, the choice of adding a product to cart was confirmed with a further positive message in the header of the next step (on the add to cart page). Once users left the product detail page, instead of simply stating the product name, the title was rephrased as "Product [X] Makes a Great Gift. They'll Love It!". I view this as a higher "intensity" experiment, given that the add-to-cart page was in some way already confirming the choice. Impact on sales was measured.

In this experiment, a list of benefits were shown for each of the 3 plans on the last step of a contract cancelation service. Benefit items not included in the lower plans were also shown with grayed out styles (and an "x"). Clearly the higher paid plan had all the benefits listed. Impact on transactions was measured. 

In this experiment, a list of benefits were shown for each of the 3 plans on the last step of a contract cancelation service. The lowest plan only had one benefit, whereas the highest plan had 3. Impact on transactions was measured. 

Are more (popular) product results better than none at all? In this experiment, popular products were shown during an empty search result. Impact on sales was measured.

In this homepage experiment a number of changes were introduced - with perhaps the most prominent one being the replacement of a video component with customer review badges. Additional copy changes included reinforcement of the latest version number (v11) throughout the page, as well as a dedicated (v11) section in the middle of the page. Impact on demo signups was measured.

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, 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 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, five clickable feature elements were surfaced on the homepage. Clicking on any of these 5 elements launched an Instastory-like short 10 second video in full screen. These videos explained the key features of the software being offered. Impact on lead generation 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.

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."

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.

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.

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."
