Learner | Checkout Guest CTA (Yankee) 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 Test Timing:
| 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). |
Learner | Global Bag to Cart (Yankee) 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 Test Timing:
| 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. |
Learner | PDP Add-to-Bag CTA Color Swap (Yankee) 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 Test Timing: | 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
