Product: Earliest Availability on Product Page
Hypothesis
If we clearly display the earliest availability or delivery date on product pages, then conversion rates will improve because certainty about delivery timing removes a key objection
Test Results
Key Learning
Context: Friction during the product process causes users to abandon right when they're closest to converting.
What was tested: Showing concrete delivery dates reduces ambiguity-driven cart abandonment; effective particularly for time-sensitive purchases like gifts or scheduled needs With 157,930 visitors, this test has solid statistical power.
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 product: earliest availability on product page but produced no statistically significant change. The test was run on a product page page in the cross-industry 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 large sample sizes to detect small effects. Run your test for at least 2 full business cycles to account for weekly traffic patterns.
What Was Tested
A number of copy tweaks were made in this experiment which was flipped around to match the earliest availability pattern (one of the more visible changes). Under this assumption, one of the more visible copy changes is the switch from using a blue "Most popular" tag towards a green "Available from [DATE]". The "available from" is also visible in the other version, except further down and with lower contrast. Impact on adds to cart and orders was measured.
