Improving Subcategory Visibility
A/B/C Test
What the Data Told Us
When analysing the homepage and search data during a CRO Insights for the client, we noticed that only 29% of mobile users accessed subcategories on the Homepage due to scrolling behaviour.
Hypothesis
How the Test was Set Up
To address this, we hypothesised that by displaying a sticky carousel section above the fold on the Homepage will assist in guiding users to the relevant categories. We set up an A/B/C test with Variant 1 displaying ‘story-style’ circles and Variant 2 displaying pills.
Variants
Why Stories vs Pills
The ‘story-style’ variant circles were to appeal to those who are used to Stories displaying on platforms like Instagram and TikTok while the pills variant took up less space above the fold.
The Results
After two weeks, we analysed the data which displayed that Variant 2 delivered 19.41% increase in View Collection Rate, 8% increase in Conversion Rate, and 9% increase in Revenue per Visitor. Based on Intelligems’ projections which considered both subscription and one-time purchases, Variant 2 would generate an additional 75 orders per month.
We implemented Variant 2 permanently.
