Landing Page: Pre-Price Sales Letter Page
Hypothesis
Inserting a dedicated persuasive landing page before the pricing page, addressing pain points and anchoring against consultant costs, would dramatically increase paid memberships
Test Results
Key Learning
Problem: How prices are displayed on the landing page directly influences perceived value and willingness to buy.
What worked: Inserting a conversion-focused 'sales letter' step before the pricing page, using customers' own language for pain points, is one of the highest-leverage CRO moves for SaaS memberships. Price anchoring against expensive alternatives dramatically improves perceived value. (+157.5% lift)
Takeaway: This is a significant win worth prioritizing for implementation. Layout wins often unlock further opportunities — isolate which specific element drove the lift for even larger gains.
