Experimentation and Testing Programs acknowledge that the future is uncertain. These programs focus on getting better data to product and marketing teams to make better decisions.
We believe that research is an integral part of experimentation. Our research projects aim to identify optimization opportunities by uncovering what really matters to your website users and customers.
90% of the analytics setups we’ve seen are critically flawed. Our data analytics audit services give you the confidence to make better decisions with data you can trust.
RevZilla started to see a big shift in customer behavior. People were moving away from their desktop experience in favor of mobile. But their mobile conversion rate was half that of the desktop, resulting in some major revenue losses. They needed to quickly understand why customers weren’t purchasing on their mobile site.
The Solution
Our ResearchXL framework allowed us to balance agility and thoroughness. We designed the research to understand how customers were experiencing the mobile buying journey from ad campaigns and search through to aftersales. And uncover what was causing any doubts and hesitations. We used heuristic analysis, a Google Analytics audit, heatmaps, exit poll analysis, user testing, and customer surveys.
The rich data set meant our analysts could draw meaningful insights and we called on our consumer psychology and UX expertise to make a list of recommendations based on our findings. We presented these using the PXL Prioritisation framework.
Based on the triangulated findings our recommendations included features that would aid decision making, adjustments to the value proposition, navigation, and visual design changes to improve usability.
One insight from the user testing and data analytics was that almost 60% of sessions with cart adds didn’t proceed to checkout. The existing flow was to take users straight to the shipping details, without clearly showing the products in their cart. While shipping was revealed to be a key consideration for users, they wanted to see a confirmation of what products were in their cart before progressing.
Our recommendation was to test moving the product summary information in the cart higher up to ensure users could clearly find the information they needed.
The Results
6.01% lift in conversion rate on mobile at 99% significance.
