In this experiment, a photo of the real doctor behind a skin care product was shown throughout a signup / questionnaire flow.

In the variation, the photo appeared on the first and all other screens - reinforcing expertise, authority and the idea of a consultation. Impact on signups and purchases was measured.

Does a "Bestseller" badge increase sales? This experiment tested exactly this by adding a visible badge on a juice cleansing product detail page.

In this experiment a juice cleanse product (developed by Dr. Ulrike Fischer) was supported with statements and visuals to reinforce her as a doctor and an authority figure. The control only referenced the product itself. Google translations include:

B) Listed out specific vitamins and supplements.

B) Added Subheadline: "Developed by Dr. Ulrike Fischer, who holds a doctorate in nutritional science"

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.
