LingQ Academy - Tech Startup Course, 11 Things That Work More Often Than Not in A/B Tests (1)

11 Things That Work More Often Than Not in A/B Tests (1)

While there are no universal rules in conversion optimization, there are some things that tend to work more often than not. This article will give you some of these tactics to test for yourself.

Let's be realistic: websites are highly contextual, and what works for website A, doesn't work for website B. In addition, the concept of a tactic is one thing, its impact is all about the specific implementation. So nothing in this post is guaranteed to work.

That being said, there are a few tactics that we've seen win time and time again. These are principles that, while they don't work 100% of the time, work more often than not. We also asked some notable CRO experts about any tactics that work more often than not. Muchas gracias to the following for the input:

Tim Ash, Brian Massey, Alex Harris, Andrew Anderson, and our own Peep Laja. Sure enough, a lot of the answers were similar. We'll outline them here. Whether you're just starting your first a/b tests or you're just looking for continuous and never ending improvements, these tactics are worth a look. At the very least, question your assumptions and give ‘em a test.

1. Static Image w/ Single Value Proposition Is Better Than Auto-rotating Slider Sooner or later you'll find yourself asking the question, “should I use an auto-rotating slider”? The answer is: no, you shouldn't We've written about this topic extensively in other articles. In general, don't use auto-rotating sliders (aka carousels). Though there are undoubtedly examples of them working better than static images (rare as they are), for the vast majority of sites, they are a usability nightmare. Here's what Peep has to say about the subject: “These days so many e-commerce sites use rotating offers – and I think it's not because they tested it, but due to herd mentality – “others have it, so should we”. – Peep Laja (Click to Tweet)

What's wrong with using carousels? There are multiple reasons for this, but in our article, we outlined three:

The human eye reacts to movement (thus missing the important stuff)

Too many messages equals no message (clutter effect)

They look like banners, which people ignore because they hate them (banner blindness)

Ultimately, users crave control, and auto-rotating carousels offer the opposite of that. The solution? Implement a simple, static hero image like this one:

But – if you're set on the carousel, for whatever reason, there are ways to improve upon it. Improving the carousel Nielsen Norman Group offers the following tips for proper carousel design:

Include five or fewer frames within the carousel Use crisp-looking text and images that coincide with the organization's charter. Indicate how many frames are present, and where the user is within the “progression.” This helps people feel in control. Use icons and links that are understandable and recognizable Ensure that navigation controls appear inside the carousel, not below it or separated by a fold. If offering a navigation button for each frame (rather than arrows to scroll through), ensure that each button looks different, and represents the frame. Make links and buttons large enough to decipher and click. So to reiterate, this:

is better than this:

But if you're going to do a carousel, do it right. You should probably just scrap the carousel, though.

If you're looking for a redesign, Mightybytes offers a pretty fantastic resource on that. 2. Hamburger+”Menu” Beats Just Hamburger The hamburger icon is like a bad piece of folklore.

Like any good myth, it's passed down generation to generation until its origin is entirely obfuscated. The problem with the hamburger icon is that we just assume it works. However, the vast majority of our tests say something else:

In most cases, using hamburger + a “menu” label beats just a hamburger icon.

As an example, here's a test we did a while back. We tested these three icons, plus the addition of a hamburger icon+menu label in a bright pink color:

(check URL for image)

Outcome: All 4 treatments brought in more revenue than the control.

If you want to read more about this, check out our article on testing the hamburger icon.

Note: not everyone hates the hamburger icon (goes back to the point of no universal rules). But if you were a betting person, you would have good odds betting against the hamburger icon. Why?

It's not intuitive. It's not noticeable. It's ambiguous. To the last point, try to label these four icons:

(check URL for image)

They are:

Motorola Hardware Menu Button

MS Word Bullet Butcon

Android Holo Composition Icon

Android Context Action Bar Overflow (top right on Android devices)

In our tests, hamburger+menu+a bold color usually perform best. It removes the ambiguity and makes the icon noticeable and intuitive. Problem solved.

3. Proper Value Proposition Beats No Value Proposition You'd be surprised how many businesses don't have a value proposition. It's not just that they lack a good, proper value prop – they lack one altogether. So it's pretty easy for us to say that most tests confirm: value prop is better than no value prop. What is a value proposition? Simply put, it's the primary reason a prospect should buy from you. Even more bluntly, it's the #1 reason someone will continue to read or hit the back button. What does a proper value proposition consist of? A few things:

Headline. This is the attention grabber. What's your offer? Short, sweet, concise, and relevant. Sub-headline or a 2-3 sentence paragraph. This gets more into the nitty gritty of what you're offering, for whom, and why it's beneficial. 3 bullet points. Here you can list the key benefits or features. Visual. Images communicate much faster than words. Show the product, the hero shot or an image reinforcing your main message. What should your value proposition convey? Relevancy, quantifiable value, and unique differentiation. Honestly, it would take a lot of words to fully expound uponproper value propositions, and I don't want to do that here (we already wrote a post about that). Instead, here's the good: (check URL for image)

4. “Sticky” Content Brian Massey, Conversion Scientist™

“Our Conversion Scientists have consistently found upside with “sticky” content. On small-screen mobile websites, having a sticky header or footer containing a call to action has consistently increased conversion rates. This call to action may be “Subscribe”, “Search” or “Click to Call”.

One of our clients saw a 400% increase in mobile leads from a sticky header. Note that the target audience here is high-school students, and this data may be skewed.

So effective has this been that we are now testing these on desktop “big-screen” websites. So far we've seen one successful test of this. There appears to be some blindness with footers as opposed to headers. This may be thanks to mobile ads. Who hasn't learned to hate “Art of War”? We'll probably see a decrease in the effectiveness on these over time. Visitors will form lexical memories that will make stickies less tempting to click. But right now, they are hot. They are hot because they funnel engaged visitors like crazy.” Here's a good example of sticky content: 5. Product Videos Are Better Than No Videos So first off, having video usually converts users better than having no video. No, it's not just for branding and awareness. Video can actually help move customers down the funnel and convert them (even if they don't watch the video). We found one result that was pretty extraordinary. Matt Lawson, Head of Conversion at ao.com was quoted in this article as saying, “We have tested and proven that when someone watches our video reviews they're 120.5% more likely to buy, spend 157.2% longer on the site and spend 9.1% more per order.” Now, results like that aren't typical. But using video to improve conversions works more often than not.

But here's something that might be controversial: (check URL for image)

Any casual user of Facebook will know that autoplay video are annoying (Twitter too now). But, oddly enough, most of the time they convert better.

Of course, this makes sense when you think about. As a data-driven company, Facebook is clearly seeing better results from autoplaying video. In fact, they tested it and noted that they found a “10% increase in people watching, liking, sharing and commenting on videos.”

Not bad.

Twitter tested autoplay as well and found the following results:

People were 2.5X more likely to prefer autoplay videos over other viewing methods (including click-to-play and video preview thumbnails).

They have better video recall with autoplay. In fact, we saw a significant 14% lift in video recall over other video formats.

For brands, during our autoplay tests we saw a 7x increase in completions of Promoted Videos. For more info, check out our post on how to use video to increase conversions.

6. Removing form fields Tim Ash, CEO of Site Tuners, Chairperson ofConversion Conference

“Often we online marketers suffer from “greedy marketer syndrome” and try to collect as much information as possible. One sure conversion-killer is asking for unnecessary information on forms. A longer form often looks more imposing and some people will be less likely to complete it simply for that reason. If the actual information is sensitive in nature they will also have a strong adverse emotional reaction to it.

In my Landing Page Optimization book, I proposed the following Form Field Test: “Is this information absolutely necessary to complete the current transaction?” If you can't answer “yes” to that question, the form field should be removed.” Nice, simple sign up form from Inbound.org: (check URL for image)

Note that you can also add form fields when you want to qualify leads. For example, we added a budget field on our conversion optimization services page. This way, we don't waste our time on unqualified leads and they don't waste their time on something not in their budget: (check URL for image)

7. Prominent Contact Information Even though it seems like a small thing, putting your phone number and email address on the top of your site usually boosts conversions.

It's a trust thing. People want to know that they can reach you. It's a simple fix that adds a lot of value in most cases. The famous example, of course, is Zappos. Along with their fanatical customer support, they've always featured their number prominently on their site: (check URL for image)

An example of this is when LessAccounting.com ran a simple a/b test where they boosted conversions 1.8% by adding a 1-800 phone number to the top of their site.

As Sean Work from KissMetrics said, “The bottom line is that having a phone number does bring peace of mind to consumers and people you do business with. If, at the very least, it instills trust in your visitors and removes any “fly-by-night-operation” fear they may have.”

Furthermore, click-to-call helps mobile convert better, especially for local businesses. Google actually did a study in 2013 that showed 70% of people use the click-to-call feature. In addition, they found 61% of mobile searchers said click to call is most important in the purchase phase of the shopping process.

Calls are king, and putting a phone number up is a pretty painless way to increase conversion rates (more often than not).

8. Live Chat Live Chat has almost become ubiquitous with good service, and with good reason: live chat usually helps convert. Here's an example of a live chat: (check URL for image)

I do my banking with Charles Schwab, and they have a pretty excellent Live Chat feature for all of my silly questions:

(check URL for image)

What's the point? Well, according to a Forrester report, “Many online consumers want help from a live person while they are shopping online; in fact, 44% of online consumers say that having questions answered by a live person while in the middle of an online purchase is one of the most important features a Web site can offer.”

3\\\\\\\\. 3\\\\\\\\. Proper Value Proposition Beats No Value Proposition You'd be surprised how many businesses don't have a value proposition. Správná nabídka hodnoty je lepší než žádná nabídka hodnoty Byli byste překvapeni, kolik firem nemá žádnou nabídku hodnoty. It's not just that they lack a good, proper value prop – they lack one altogether. Nejde jen o to, že jim chybí dobrá a správná hodnotová opora - chybí jim úplně. So it's pretty easy for us to say that most tests confirm: value prop is better than no value prop. Takže je pro nás docela snadné říci, že většina testů potvrzuje: hodnotová rekvizita je lepší než žádná hodnotová rekvizita. What is a value proposition? Co je to hodnotová nabídka? Simply put, it's the primary reason a prospect should buy from you. Jednoduše řečeno, je to hlavní důvod, proč by od vás měl zájemce nakoupit. Even more bluntly, it's the #1 reason someone will continue to read or hit the back button. Ještě přímočařeji řečeno, je to první důvod, proč někdo bude pokračovat ve čtení nebo stiskne tlačítko zpět. What does a proper value proposition consist of? Z čeho se skládá správná nabídka hodnoty? A few things: Několik věcí:

Headline. Titulek. This is the attention grabber. To je to, co upoutá pozornost. What's your offer? Jaká je vaše nabídka? Short, sweet, concise, and relevant. Krátké, výstižné, stručné a relevantní. Sub-headline or a 2-3 sentence paragraph. Podtitulek nebo odstavec o 2-3 větách. This gets more into the nitty gritty of what you're offering, for whom, and why it's beneficial. Tím se dostáváme k podrobnějšímu popisu toho, co nabízíte, pro koho a proč je to výhodné. 3 bullet points. 3 odrážky. Here you can list the key benefits or features. Zde můžete uvést klíčové výhody nebo funkce. Visual. Vizuální. Images communicate much faster than words. Obrázky komunikují mnohem rychleji než slova. Show the product, the hero shot or an image reinforcing your main message. Ukažte produkt, hlavní záběr nebo obrázek, který umocňuje vaše hlavní sdělení. What should your value proposition convey? Co by měla vaše nabídka hodnoty obsahovat? Relevancy, quantifiable value, and unique differentiation. Relevantnost, vyčíslitelná hodnota a jedinečné odlišení. Honestly, it would take a lot of words to fully expound uponproper value propositions, and I don't want to do that here (we already wrote a post about that).

“Our Conversion Scientists have consistently found upside with “sticky” content. "Naši konverzní vědci důsledně zjistili, že "lepivý" obsah je na vrcholu. On small-screen mobile websites, having a sticky header or footer containing a call to action has consistently increased conversion rates. Na mobilních webových stránkách s malou obrazovkou se díky lepivému záhlaví nebo zápatí s výzvou k akci trvale zvyšuje míra konverze. This call to action may be “Subscribe”, “Search” or “Click to Call”. Tato výzva k akci může být "Přihlásit se k odběru", "Hledat" nebo "Kliknout na výzvu".

One of our clients saw a 400% increase in mobile leads from a sticky header. Jeden z našich klientů zaznamenal 400% nárůst mobilních kontaktů díky lepivému záhlaví. Note that the target audience here is high-school students, and this data may be skewed. Upozorňujeme, že cílovou skupinou jsou středoškoláci, a proto mohou být tyto údaje zkreslené.

So effective has this been that we are now testing these on desktop “big-screen” websites. Tento postup byl natolik účinný, že je nyní testujeme na webových stránkách pro stolní počítače s velkou obrazovkou. So far we've seen one successful test of this. Zatím jsme byli svědky jednoho úspěšného testu. There appears to be some blindness with footers as opposed to headers. Zdá se, že u zápatí dochází k určité slepotě na rozdíl od záhlaví. This may be thanks to mobile ads. Může to být díky mobilním reklamám. Who hasn't learned to hate “Art of War”? Kdo se nenaučil nenávidět "Umění války"? We'll probably see a decrease in the effectiveness on these over time. Jejich účinnost se pravděpodobně časem sníží. Visitors will form lexical memories that will make stickies less tempting to click. Návštěvníci si vytvoří lexikální vzpomínky, díky nimž je kliknutí na stickies méně lákavé. But right now, they are hot. Právě teď jsou ale žhavé. They are hot because they funnel engaged visitors like crazy.” Here's a good example of sticky content: Jsou žhavé, protože přivádějí návštěvníky jako blázen." Zde je dobrý příklad lepkavého obsahu: 5\\\\\\\\. 5\\\\\\\\. Product Videos Are Better Than No Videos So first off, having video usually converts users better than having no video. Produktová videa jsou lepší než žádná videa Tak zaprvé, video obvykle konvertuje uživatele lépe než žádné video. No, it's not just for branding and awareness. Ne, není to jen kvůli značce a povědomí. Video can actually help move customers down the funnel and convert them (even if they don't watch the video). Video může skutečně pomoci posunout zákazníky dolů trychtýřem a konvertovat je (i když se na video nedívají). We found one result that was pretty extraordinary. Zjistili jsme, že jeden výsledek je docela výjimečný. Matt Lawson, Head of Conversion at ao.com was quoted in this article as saying, “We have tested and proven that when someone watches our video reviews they're 120.5% more likely to buy, spend 157.2% longer on the site and spend 9.1% more per order.” Matt Lawson, vedoucí oddělení konverze na ao.com, v tomto článku citoval: "Testovali jsme a prokázali, že když někdo sleduje naše videorecenze, je o 120,5 % pravděpodobnější, že nakoupí, stráví na webu o 157,2 % déle a utratí o 9,1 % více za objednávku." Now, results like that aren't typical. Takové výsledky nejsou typické. But using video to improve conversions works more often than not. Použití videa ke zlepšení konverzí však častěji funguje než ne.

But here's something that might be controversial: Ale je tu něco, co může být kontroverzní: (check URL for image) (obrázek naleznete na adrese URL)

Any casual user of Facebook will know that autoplay video are annoying (Twitter too now). Každý běžný uživatel Facebooku ví, že automaticky přehrávaná videa jsou otravná (nyní i Twitter). But, oddly enough, most of the time they convert better. Ale kupodivu se většinou konvertují lépe.

Of course, this makes sense when you think about. To samozřejmě dává smysl, když se zamyslíte. As a data-driven company, Facebook is clearly seeing better results from autoplaying video. Facebook jako společnost, která se řídí daty, zjevně vidí lepší výsledky automaticky přehrávaných videí. In fact, they tested it and noted that they found a “10% increase in people watching, liking, sharing and commenting on videos.” Ve skutečnosti ji otestovali a zjistili, že se "o 10 % zvýšil počet lidí, kteří sledují, lajkují, sdílejí a komentují videa".

Not bad. Není to špatné.

Twitter tested autoplay as well and found the following results: Společnost Twitter testovala také automatické přehrávání a zjistila následující výsledky:

People were 2.5X more likely to prefer autoplay videos over other viewing methods (including click-to-play and video preview thumbnails). Lidé 2,5x častěji upřednostňovali automatické přehrávání videí před jinými způsoby prohlížení (včetně kliknutí na přehrávání a náhledů videí).

They have better video recall with autoplay. Mají lepší vyvolání videa s automatickým přehráváním. In fact, we saw a significant 14% lift in video recall over other video formats. Ve skutečnosti jsme zaznamenali výrazné zvýšení zapamatovatelnosti videa o 14 % oproti jiným formátům videa.

For brands, during our autoplay tests we saw a 7x increase in completions of Promoted Videos. U značek jsme během testů automatického přehrávání zaznamenali 7x vyšší počet dokončení propagovaných videí. For more info, check out our post on how to use video to increase conversions. Další informace najdete v našem článku o tom, jak používat video ke zvýšení konverzí.

6\\\\\\\\. 6\\\\\\\\. Removing form fields Tim Ash, CEO of Site Tuners, Chairperson ofConversion Conference Odstranění formulářových polí Tim Ash, generální ředitel společnosti Site Tuners, předseda konferenceConversion Conference

“Often we online marketers suffer from “greedy marketer syndrome” and try to collect as much information as possible. "My, online marketéři, často trpíme syndromem "chamtivého marketéra" a snažíme se shromáždit co nejvíce informací. One sure conversion-killer is asking for unnecessary information on forms. Jedním ze spolehlivých zabijáků konverze je vyžadování zbytečných informací ve formulářích. A longer form often looks more imposing and some people will be less likely to complete it simply for that reason. Delší formulář často vypadá impozantněji a někteří lidé jej z tohoto důvodu vyplní s menší pravděpodobností. If the actual information is sensitive in nature they will also have a strong adverse emotional reaction to it. Pokud jsou aktuální informace citlivého charakteru, budou na ně mít také silnou negativní emocionální reakci.

In my Landing Page Optimization book, I proposed the following Form Field Test: “Is this information absolutely necessary to complete the current transaction?” If you can't answer “yes” to that question, the form field should be removed.” Nice, simple sign up form from Inbound.org: Ve své knize Optimalizace cílových stránek jsem navrhl následující test polí formuláře: "Jsou tyto informace nezbytně nutné k dokončení aktuální transakce?" Pokud na tuto otázku nemůžete odpovědět "ano", formulářové pole by mělo být odstraněno." Pěkný, jednoduchý registrační formulář z webu Inbound.org: (check URL for image) (obrázek naleznete na adrese URL)

Note that you can also add form fields when you want to qualify leads. Všimněte si, že můžete také přidat pole formuláře, pokud chcete kvalifikovat potenciální zákazníky. For example, we added a budget field on our conversion optimization services page. Například jsme na stránku služeb optimalizace konverzí přidali pole rozpočtu. This way, we don't waste our time on unqualified leads and they don't waste their time on something not in their budget: Tímto způsobem neztrácíme čas s nekvalifikovanými potenciálními klienty a oni neztrácejí čas s něčím, co není v jejich rozpočtu: (check URL for image) (obrázek naleznete na adrese URL)

7\\\\\\\\. 7\\\\\\\\. Prominent Contact Information Even though it seems like a small thing, putting your phone number and email address on the top of your site usually boosts conversions. Výrazné kontaktní informace I když se to zdá jako maličkost, umístění telefonního čísla a e-mailové adresy v horní části webu obvykle zvyšuje konverze.

It's a trust thing. Je to věc důvěry. People want to know that they can reach you. Lidé chtějí vědět, že vás mohou kontaktovat. It's a simple fix that adds a lot of value in most cases. Je to jednoduchá oprava, která ve většině případů přináší velkou přidanou hodnotu. The famous example, of course, is Zappos. Známým příkladem je samozřejmě společnost Zappos. Along with their fanatical customer support, they've always featured their number prominently on their site: Spolu s fanatickou zákaznickou podporou vždy na svých stránkách uváděli své číslo na viditelném místě: (check URL for image) (obrázek naleznete na adrese URL)

An example of this is when LessAccounting.com ran a simple a/b test where they boosted conversions 1.8% by adding a 1-800 phone number to the top of their site. Příkladem může být jednoduchý a/b test LessAccounting.com, který zvýšil konverze o 1,8 % přidáním telefonního čísla 1-800 do horní části webu.

As Sean Work from KissMetrics said, “The bottom line is that having a phone number does bring peace of mind to consumers and people you do business with. Jak řekl Sean Work ze společnosti KissMetrics: "Pointa je, že telefonní číslo přináší spotřebitelům a lidem, se kterými obchodujete, klid. If, at the very least, it instills trust in your visitors and removes any “fly-by-night-operation” fear they may have.” Pokud to alespoň vzbudí u návštěvníků důvěru a odstraní to jejich obavy z "nočních operací"."

Furthermore, click-to-call helps mobile convert better, especially for local businesses. Funkce click-to-call navíc pomáhá mobilním telefonům lépe konvertovat, zejména u místních podniků. Google actually did a study in 2013 that showed 70% of people use the click-to-call feature. Společnost Google v roce 2013 provedla studii, která ukázala, že 70 % lidí používá funkci "klikni a zavolej". In addition, they found 61% of mobile searchers said click to call is most important in the purchase phase of the shopping process. Kromě toho zjistili, že 61 % uživatelů mobilních vyhledávačů uvedlo, že ve fázi nákupu je nejdůležitější kliknutí na telefon.

Calls are king, and putting a phone number up is a pretty painless way to increase conversion rates (more often than not). Hovory jsou důležité a uvedení telefonního čísla je poměrně bezbolestný způsob, jak zvýšit míru konverze (častěji než v jiných případech).

8\\\\\\\\. 8\\\\\\\\. Live Chat Live Chat has almost become ubiquitous with good service, and with good reason: live chat usually helps convert. Živý chat Živý chat se stal téměř všudypřítomnou součástí dobrých služeb, a to z dobrého důvodu: živý chat obvykle pomáhá konverzi. Here's an example of a live chat: Zde je příklad živého chatu: (check URL for image) (obrázek naleznete na adrese URL)

I do my banking with Charles Schwab, and they have a pretty excellent Live Chat feature for all of my silly questions: Své bankovnictví mám u společnosti Charles Schwab a ta má vynikající funkci Live Chat pro všechny mé hloupé dotazy:

What's the point? Jaký to má smysl? Well, according to a Forrester report, “Many online consumers want help from a live person while they are shopping online; in fact, 44% of online consumers say that having questions answered by a live person while in the middle of an online purchase is one of the most important features a Web site can offer.” Podle zprávy společnosti Forrester "mnoho online spotřebitelů chce při nakupování online pomoc živé osoby; 44 % online spotřebitelů uvádí, že zodpovězení dotazů živou osobou uprostřed online nákupu je jednou z nejdůležitějších funkcí, které mohou webové stránky nabídnout."
