3x Conversion (0.6% to 2.2%)

$29M lift in Sales >400 to 1 ROI

90% of visitors abandoned checkout without purchasing, resulting in very low conversion rates. Our client had previously conducted extensive user testing and other research, but the resulting changes barely shifted conversion. There was disagreement about the real problems: was it price, visitor intent to convert, or something else?

How We Did It

Combining intentions with behavior is what makes our insights so actionable

This insight was enabled by

  1. Capturing visitor intentions & conversion barriers at key checkout pages
     

  2. Connecting these intentions & barriers to their checkout behavior

Micro survey targeting visitors who just added to cart:

By connecting their responses to their behavior, we saw that 95% of visitors looking to make a same day appointment abandoned checkout.

Customized abandonment survey targeting visitors exiting after steps in checkout:

Here we found that many wanted confirmation that the product really was in stock – while some called the company to confirm, many others decided to go to a competitor.
