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?
