Winner ⭐️  Quantity Selector Removal on ProdTiles [22.007] [ODYI-1529]


Learner  | PLP Star-Rating # Reviews presentation [22.009] [ODYI-1530]

  • Results: Test ran for 14 days and the results are inconclusive. No stat sig impact on order confirmation page visits or other checkout page visits between either variation. No differences between mobile or desktop users.

  • No next steps required—learner experiment.
    Recommendation; conclude the test and move on to more fruitful tests. This is a good reminder that users may say one thing but do another, in that reviews are important to them, but maybe not on the PLP.

Checkout Guest CTA (Yankee)
[22.003]

Hypothesis: By changing the color of the primary Sign-In CTA for guests in the checkout flow, we will increase conversions via Guest checkout.

↑ [Cont-as-Guest] Clicks
↑ Conversions   

Test Timing:
22-Jul to 15-Aug  

 

Results: After 21 days of runtime, this test is inconclusive. Both Mobile & Desktop do not have stat sig difference in behavior for primary goal (Clicks to Checkout as a Guest CTA) or macro goal (Order Confirmation Page Views).

(No immediate follow up—test results were mixed)

Potential next steps: Consider additional testing on Checkout to understand how Loyalty Messaging on Checkout can incentivize users to Sign-In to generate Rewards Points.
 
(This test is listed in our experimentation IDEAS area and is under consideration for future testing).

Global Bag to Cart (Yankee) 
[22.002] 

Hypothesis: By changing the bag icon and copy “Bag” to a cart icon and copy “Cart” within the global nav header, we can increase cart clicks, engagement, and conversion.

↑ Conversions
↑ Engagement
↑ Cart Clicks  

Test Timing:
28-Jul to 11-Aug  

 

Results: After 14 days of runtime, the results are mixed. Engagement: we see v1-Cart driving a 100% stat sig increase in global cart icon clicks by about 3.2%, leading us to believe it may be more visible or interesting to users.

(No immediate follow up—test results were mixed)

Potential next steps: Consider prioritizing tests around Mini-Cart functionality to validate learnings of this test and revised hypothesis: … mixed results may be a result of users intending to engage the mini-cart (available with add-to-cart clicks), thus the increase in clicks to the Cart icon, but were potentially frustrated in that lack of behavior.

PDP Add-to-Bag CTA Color Swap (Yankee)
[22.001]

Hypothesis: By changing the add-to-cart button color, we can increase the number of add-to-cart clicks and conversions.

↑ [Add-to-Cart] Clicks
↑ Conversions
↑ Conversion Funnel (cart + checkout visits)  

Test Timing:
27-Jun to 1-Aug

Results: Original CTA color outperformed both variants with 98% stat sig for [Add-to-Bag] CTA clicks.

(No immediate follow up.) CTA color updates from this test were merged into separate ticket.

RECs & Next Steps: Merged related learning regarding ATC [Add-to-Cart] CTA Color with Winning test 004. Learnings merged into voc ticket: https://newellbrands.atlassian.net/browse/ODYI-1503
