Proving a Conversion Lift

Ecommerce Director Andrew Muller was familiar with offering a shopping guarantee to boost trust and sales online. After doing some research on the product, he reached out to BuySafe to learn more.

"It was reassuring that we could try the product before buying. The A/B test option was really helpful in making our decision" says Muller.

BuySafe set up an A/B test for All Time Trading to prove that a shopping guarantee lifts conversion on ecommerce sites.

The A/B test is set up by BuySafe's data scientist using the company's website analytics program, in this case, Google Analytics. The test takes less than an hour to set up and runs from 30-60 days, depending on the number of transactions on the website. Visitors to the website are split in half, one segment sees the regular All Time Trading website (the control) and other segment sees All Time Trading with the BuySafe trustmarks (the variable).

The BuySafe trustmarks were added to the website in three key locations to boost trust and give shoppers the confidence to purchase. 

Sitewide Trustmark

The sitewide trustmark was added to the bottom right-hand side of the site, and is pinned there for every page.

After running the A/B test for 60 days, BuySafe's data scientist collected the data and conducted a comprehensive quality assurance check to ensure it was a fair and accurate test. Eliminating bad traffic and duplicate transactions are just a few of the steps in this process.

"The data scientist was able to go over the test results past the hard numbers. It was great to have an expert on the call explain the real impact of BuySafe for our business" states Andrew Muller.
