Presentation Notes
….another recent survey, this time by the testing company, Red Eye, in association with eConsultancy, has also highlighted how the web marketing industry is looking favourably on Online Testing. This was an online survey in August and September 2010, with over 700 respondents 100% of the sample said that AB testing was either “valuable” or “quite valuable”, with 94% saying that MVT was either “valuable” or “quite valuable”… ….in the same survey, respondents who said that their conversion rates HAD improved had carried out on average THREE TIMES the amount of testing as those respondents who said their conversion rates had not improved.

….in the same survey 60% of respondents said they had had a positive experience of doing only testing, with only 12% saying they had a negative experience….

….and comparing the years 2009 with 2010, over 70% of respondents said that they now have AT LEAST one person responsible for conversion, an increase of 10% from the previous survey, and the number of companies who now have more than one person responsible for conversion increased by 17%.

Template driven websites provide global businesses with great economies of scaleUnfortunately, they also present visitors from different cultures with “ a size fits all” interface and method of engagementDifferent cultures will respond in different ways to different types of design

High and Low Context

Presenter
Presentation Notes
And academic studies of culture, notably by Edward T Hall and Geert Hofstede have highlighted the differences between high and low context societies,polychronic and monochronic cultures. Low context societies respond to many different types of visual stimuli, and are less interested in being presented with a single thing than multiple things, and you can see this in the example of McDonalds Japanes homepage, with multiple boxes, icons, details and prices with little detail. High context, monochronic societies respond to one thing at a time, and prefer detail of a product. So in the example of the German McDonald’s homepage, visitors are presented with a high context graphic- a big picture of a burger- and the site itself focusses on a lot of nutritional detail.

Case Study Mio

In 2010 we worked with Mio on optimising their product pagesGlobalMaxer generated over €100,000 additional revenueWe then started working on their shopping basketThe three stage basket process uses a dark green button, followed by light green with an orange heading, followed by another dark green button

Page 22: GlobalMaxer IMRG

Case Study Mio

Using consistent colours in the basket is enough to create sales upliftThe overall winning combination featured the original black heading and light green buttons, which has a 98% chance of beating the originalEach territory had different winners and we segmented these using IP targetingOverall, the test generated £15,000 additional revenue per month

Page 23: GlobalMaxer IMRG

Case Study STA

STA came to us to test a radical new version of their homepageMost of their homepage activity was coming via Flight search (43%) of clicks or via clicks from above the top navigationThe fifth most popular link was their internal search box with 3.7% of clicksThe page real estate of carousel and destinations were getttingrelatively low levels of clicks

Page 24: GlobalMaxer IMRG

Case Study STA

Bringing the main target areas of the site down from the top navigation into the body copy generated uplift  in all the main goal areas of the siteInstead of the flights search box, visitors now clicked on the main flights navigationPremium areas of the site like Destinations, Deals, Hostels and RTW suddenly started generating high volumes of clicksOverall this new design reduced homepage bounce by 24%

Page 25: GlobalMaxer IMRG

Case Study Man United

Man United’s agency came up with a new design for their Chinese fan websiteUnited’s agency suggested that Chinese visitors needed a site with a larger font, fewer images and the use of scrollbars and paginated textOur own Chinese researcher backed up the user of the larger font but also suggested a more prominent registration buttonWe also segmented the test between Chinese and non‐Chinese IP addresses

Page 26: GlobalMaxer IMRG

Case Study Man United

In the actual test, there were distinct differences  between the Chinese resident and non‐Chinese visitorsThe variation in conversion rate was up to 27% between the two groupsOnly the larger font and moved registration increased conversionsRemoving images and adding scrollbars actually worsened site performanceOur tests saved Man United tens of thousands in unproven web design changes
