Product: Product Page — A/B Tested Company Logos And A Smaller Add-To-Cart Button
Hypothesis
If we test a similar change on our product pages as tested, then our conversion metric will likely improve based on their implementation decision.
Test Results
Key Learning
Problem: The primary call-to-action on the product isn't converting at its potential — design, copy, or placement may be the bottleneck.
What worked: implemented this UI change (Sep 9, 2019). Implementation suggests positive internal results
Takeaway: Even small lifts compound — across thousands of sessions, this adds up. Now test the placement of this social proof — positioning near CTAs, in pricing sections, and in checkout flows often amplifies the effect.
How to Apply This to Your Site
This experiment demonstrated that product: product page — a/b tested company logos and a smaller add-to-cart button can improve conversions. The test was run on a product page page in the e-commerce industry.
Before you test: Consider that social proof 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.
What Was Tested
(Germany) has been experimenting with at least two interesting cascade variations on their product page. Both of these variations seem to have been rejected which is consistent with other evidence in favor of larger buttons.
