A/B testing a product-focused experience vs storytelling

Strategy

Challenge

  • A retailer traditionally used the mobile landing experience to support its brand story, using compelling images and content.
  • It was interested in testing the impact of moving to a more direct product-focused message.

Solution

  • The retailer asked its new mobile users upon landing on the site what products they were interested in rather than having them navigate to different categories.
  • The retailer was looking to positively impact conversion, but it was also tracking engagement and bounce rate to track user experience.

Outcome

  • 7% uplift in revenue per session
  • Reduction in bounce rate by as much as 20%
