Multiple: Product Page to Checkout Funnel Redesign for Furniture Retailer
Hypothesis
For a 100-year-old furniture retailer going digital-first, visitors need to be persuaded that buying high-value furniture online is safe and worthwhile. Redesigning product pages to be more intuitive and persuasive — addressing trust gaps specific to high-value online purchases
Test Results
Key Learning
Context: Friction during the multiple process causes users to abandon right when they're closest to converting.
What was tested: High-value product categories (furniture >$200) require trust-building content specifically addressing 'is it safe to buy this online?' anxiety. Brand differentiation content on product pages (story, craftsmanship, guarantee) is conversion-positive for commodity-looking categories. Tripling product-to-checkout conversion (300%) with 14-month revenue 3x shows the compounding effect of CRO on already-running paid acquisition. Working with 3 separate teams (internal marketing, internal dev, external dev) requires clear experimentation governance to maintain test integrity
Result: No statistically significant difference was detected. This null result is still valuable — it narrows the search space and helps calibrate your minimum detectable effect for future tests.
How to Apply This to Your Site
This experiment tested multiple: product page to checkout funnel redesign for furniture retailer but produced no statistically significant change. The test was run on a landing page page in the e-commerce industry. Inconclusive results suggest this particular change may not be a priority — focus testing effort on higher-impact areas.
Before you test: Consider that layout tests typically require adequate traffic to reach statistical significance. Run your test for at least 2 full business cycles to account for weekly traffic patterns.
This result reached 95% statistical confidence, meaning there is a very low probability the observed effect was due to chance. Results at this confidence level are generally considered reliable for making business decisions.
What Was Tested
Home Gallery Stores, a 107-year-old family furniture retailer, had tried paid channels but couldn't improve sales. Invesp identified that the challenge was persuasion and brand differentiation, not usability. Product page redesigns focused on making high-value furniture purchase decisions feel safe and confident online. The product-to-order-confirmation conversion rate tripled, and monthly revenue grew 3x in 14 months.
