Meet Our Presenters: Jess Spate
Jess lives in Wales, where she has worked as an in-house web manager, agency SEO, run a small digital marketing company, and still spends a lot of time hiking, rock and ice climbing, and surfing. Although Colab are on the other side of the ocean geographically, they’re right next door philosophically and that counts for more. !Part rock climber and part mathematician, Jess believes in the conservation of wild spaces, protecting threatened species, and in the value of good data. Indoors, she has a PhD in data mining and deals with web analytics, paid advertising campaigns, and making meaningful, actionable information out of big collections of numbers. Outdoors, long days in mountains have taught her attention to detail, tenacity when dealing with tricky problems, and the value of a really good woolly hat.

How Can You Turn Your Site Into A Customer Magnet?
CoLabSplit testing = CRO (nearly) magic
What is split testing, and why do it?
• 50% see the control (original)
• Ecommerce conv. rate 2.60%
• 50% see the variation • Ecommerce conv. rate
3.87%
Why is color so important?
● Psychology! Humans are governed by emotion as well as logic
!● Tests that seem to be about color
are sometimes really about contrast and visibility
!● There is no single “best” button
color for conversion

Building trust
Trust is key to relationships online and off !Social proof- other people did this and it made them happy, so... !Adding a trust signal (and some other stuff) to a Zombie Charge landing page lifted signup rates 0.81% to 4.81%
Clear navigational pathways!
In the example below, navigation through to subscription and app download was perfectly possible via menu options but presenting two bright buttons in the main field of view improved movement into the funnels by 197% (app download) and 182% (subscription).!Note the message- ‘Subscribe and hear more’ ties user desire to the subscription action.
Identify friction points
In ecommerce, the gap between adding an item to the shopping cart and actually checking out can be very wide. 30-70% of users can be lost from the purchase process. !Keeping an easy-to-find checkout button with the user can help. In the example above, adding a little color to a site-wide header lifted conversion rate by 11%. In the example to the right, adding a checkout button next to category faceted search menus lifted conversion rate by 10%.
11% extra isn’t much, is it?
At the original conv. rate... ● 70,000 sessions per month ● Average order value $130 ● $236,600 in revenue
At the new conv rate... ● 70,000 sessions per month ● Average order value $130 ● $262,626 in revenue
That’s not bad for a test that took less than 4 hours to set up!
