This wiki page captures our AB experiment’s hypothesis, goals, supporting data/findings, test screenshot previews, and results once available.
Experiment Name:Â New.22.013
Global NAV | Bag Icon functionality update (expand Mini-Cart instead of current switching pages to full cart)
Hypothesis: Â
Making the bag icon open a mini cart will allow users to view their cart without leaving product pages which will increase the average number of items users add to their cart before checkout.
Findings:
Once a user adds a product to bag they are presented with a mini cart; but there is no other way to produce said mini cart later.
Goals:
↑ Average Order Revenue
↑ Conversions
Test Clicks to the Bag icon opening up Mini Cart
vs. sending users to Cart Page to see if that positively impacts experience and conversions.
Target: Â
Yankee DTC website ( YankeeCandle.com )
All Pages
All Users
Results & Recs:
Results:
The Control outperformed variant V1 where we experimented with the Mini-Cart expanding on Cart-Icon click -vs- our current state of taking users to the full-cart-page. Not a winning hypothesis for this test, but we have many more Mini-Cart iterations in store for next year’s set of experiments.Â
Engagement:Â V1 users clicked on the [View Bag & Checkout] CTA 51% more with a 100% stat sig which was expected since they had access to the mini-cart at any time. However, page views for Login page, Shipping page, and Checkout page all declined with stat sig.Â
Conversions:Â Transactions saw a decrease for V1 without stat sig but AOV increased (also without stat sig). CXPerts suggests this change may be related to deals being more clear/explicit on the Full Cart page.
Recommendation:
Consider future iterations to to update deals and incentives to mini-cart.Â
