A Marketer’s Great Dilemma — Should Thou Direct to What’s Free or to What’s Paid — A/B Tested

Posted in Case Studies on February 20, 2015

P.S.(the pre-script one): Few days back I did a case study where adding the word “free” increased the button CTR for a company by 99.42%. And when I was looking at this test where a company eliminated the step involving “free”, they actually got a spike in their conversions. No, I am not surprised. A/B testing does question our instincts or what seems right. And a word of caution before I proceed — something that worked for one company, might or might not work for you.

How to Find Hidden Winners

Posted in How To on February 11, 2015

UC Berkeley was once sued for bias against women applying to their graduate programs. Their fall admission figures showed a difference of 25% which couldn’t be just attributed to chance. They successfully defended against this charge with a drill down to department-level segmentation which proved that in fact women had a higher admission rate for most departments; it was just that majority of the female applicants had applied for competitive departments which already had a low admission rate for both genders hence skewing the overall data. Welcome to Simpson’s Paradox and how you can beat it using Post-Result Segmentation to find trends for a certain segment of traffic which could be buried under a mountain of data. Post Result Segmentation. Post Result Segmentation in VWO is an enterprise feature which lets you slice and dice your reports to smaller, specific and targeted segments.
