The age-old debate has finally been put to rest. For many years now, researchers have presented the world with conflicting studies about whether women find bearded or clean-shaven men more attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of conflicting research available on the subject. For the research claiming the smooth clean-cut look is more desirable among women, there\u2019s other research claiming face fuzz is the way to go, as well as everything in between. But now, a US-based eCommerce website has finally <a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/ab-testing\/\">A\/B tested<\/a> their way to the truth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/ab-testing\/#guide-download\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Download Free: A\/B Testing Guide<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"js-cro-guide-subheading gtm_heading \" data-level=\"level1\" data-menu=\"The company\" id=\"the-company\" data-menu-id=\"the-company\" style=\"text-align:left\"><strong>The company<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>AdonisClothing is a US-based eCommerce store exclusively dealing in men\u2019s fashion. However, what sets them apart from other stores is that their target audience is not men but women who shop for their boyfriends and spouses. Their website encourages women to shop for a \u2018complete makeover of the guy\u2019 and that\u2019s one of the reasons their average order value is higher than $90. Also, according to CEO Jason Johansson, or JJ as he\u2019s known,&nbsp;<strong>80% of their repeat customers are women<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"js-cro-guide-subheading gtm_heading \" data-level=\"level1\" data-menu=\"The problem\" id=\"the-problem\" data-menu-id=\"the-problem\" style=\"text-align:left\"><strong>The problem<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Like many eCommerce websites, AdonisClothing had a lot of visitors coming to their product pages, but very few were adding products to the cart. So JJ started his <a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/conversion-rate-optimization\/ecommerce-conversion-rate-optimisation\/\">conversion optimization strategy<\/a> from the product pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how the product page originally looked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"913\" height=\"632\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/clean-shaven.png\" alt=\"clean shaven\" class=\"wp-image-29583\" title=\"The original product page with the clean shaven model\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/clean-shaven.png 913w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/clean-shaven.png?tr=w-768 768w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/clean-shaven.png?tr=w-640 640w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/clean-shaven.png?tr=w-375 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"js-cro-guide-subheading gtm_heading \" data-level=\"level1\" data-menu=\"The A\/B test\" id=\"the-a-b-test\" data-menu-id=\"the-a-b-test\" style=\"text-align:left\"><strong>The A\/B test<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>JJ came up with a curious new test idea. He <a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/human-landing-page-increase-conversion-rate\/\">A\/B tested the photos of the models on the product pages<\/a> \u2014 clean-shaved against bearded ones! When asked what made him test out chin carpet when the whole CRO world was busy testing UX and design, JJ had a quaint answer. He explains how his fiancee kept pestering him to grow his stubble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe always said that I looked better in a beard, but I never agreed. So one night, I had this epiphany that why not ask a larger set of people. And what better way to do that than my website \u2014 which is mostly visited by women,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how the variation looked:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/bearded-e1427806718937.png\" alt=\"bearded look\" class=\"wp-image-29579\" title=\"The bearded version which was pitted against the clean shaven look\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/bearded-e1427806718937.png 634w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/03\/bearded-e1427806718937.png?tr=w-375 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"js-cro-guide-subheading gtm_heading \" data-level=\"level1\" data-menu=\"The results\" id=\"the-results\" data-menu-id=\"the-results\" style=\"text-align:left\"><strong>The results<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>JJ used VWO to run the test for 15 days on over 36,000 visitors (of which 70% can be safely assumed to be women). The goal being tracked was clicks on \u2018Add to Shopping Bag\u2019 button. Well, what do you guess? The <strong>variation outperformed the control by a stubbly 49.73%,<\/strong> resulting in a 33% increase in sale orders.
