Our Approach in Action: Illustrative Examples
See How We Apply Behavioral Science & Experimentation to Solve Real-World Growth Challenges.
The true value of a strategic growth partner lies not just in their results, but in the clarity and rigor of their thinking. While we are diligently compiling detailed results with our current partners, this page provides illustrative examples of how the Conversion Crafted methodology is applied to common business problems.
Explore these scenarios to understand our process, our behavioral science lens, and how we translate deep user insights into effective, data-driven solutions.
Illustrative Scenario – eCommerce
The Challenge: A High-Traffic eCommerce Store with Low Add-to-Cart Rates on Key Product Pages
Scenario: An online retailer selling premium home goods sees significant traffic to its product detail pages (PDPs) from paid ads, but a surprisingly low percentage of users are adding items to their cart. Their current pages are aesthetically pleasing but are failing to convert browsers into buyers.
Our Diagnostic Lens: Uncovering the ‘Why’ with Behavioral Science
Instead of just testing random button colors, our first step is a Behavioral Deep Dive. We would hypothesize that the low add-to-cart rate is likely caused by one or more psychological barriers:
- Decision Paralysis & Cognitive Overload: Are there too many product variations, specifications, or options presented without clear guidance, overwhelming the user (violating the Paradox of Choice and creating high Cognitive Load)?
- Lack of Trust & Perceived Risk (Security/Trust Issues): Are there unanswered questions about product quality, shipping, or returns that are creating anxiety? Is social proof (reviews, ratings) absent or unconvincing?
- Weak Value Proposition & Motivation: Does the page fail to create desire (Stimulance) by not effectively communicating the unique benefits and emotional value of the premium products? Is the price point creating Loss Aversion without sufficient justification?
Our Experimentation Path: From Insight to Impactful Test
Based on the specific insights from our research, we would develop a series of targeted experiments. For example, if we found that users were anxious about product quality and overwhelmed by options, our hypotheses might include:
- Hypothesis 1: By prominently featuring authentic customer testimonials and high-quality user-generated photos near the primary call-to-action, we will increase trust and reduce uncertainty, leading to more “add to cart” clicks.
- Hypothesis 2: By redesigning the product selection UI to guide the user through choices one step at a time (e.g., “Choose Your Size,” then “Choose Your Color”) and providing a “Recommended” badge on the most popular option, we will reduce cognitive load and decision paralysis, leading to a higher add-to-cart rate.
The Expected Outcome: Validated Learning & Growth
The goal is twofold: achieve a statistically significant increase in the add-to-cart rate, and gain validated learning about what truly drives customer confidence and decision-making for this brand. These insights can then be scaled across other product pages, creating a systemic lift in performance.
Illustrative Scenario – SaaS
The Challenge: A B2B SaaS Company with High Drop-off on Their Pricing Page
Scenario: A SaaS company offering a project management tool gets qualified traffic to its pricing page, but a large percentage of visitors leave without starting a trial or requesting a demo. They are losing high-intent prospects at the final hurdle.
Our Diagnostic Lens: Uncovering the ‘Why’ with Behavioral Science
Our analysis would focus on the intense psychological factors at play on a pricing page:
- Ambiguity & Lack of Clarity: Are the differences between the pricing tiers unclear, forcing users into intense System 2 (analytical) thinking? Is the pricing model itself confusing (e.g., per user vs. per feature)?
- Choice Overload & The Decoy Effect: Are there too many plans? Is there a clear “best choice” for the primary user persona, or does the layout make comparison difficult?
- Loss Aversion & Perceived Risk: Does the commitment feel too big? Are fears about complex onboarding, hidden fees, or difficulty canceling being addressed with trust-building elements like guarantees, clear FAQs, or social proof from similar companies?
Our Experimentation Path: From Insight to Impactful Test
If our research revealed that users found the tiers confusing and were unsure which plan was right for them, our experimentation roadmap might include:
- Hypothesis 1: By reframing the plan benefits to align with specific user personas (e.g., “For Freelancers,” “For Small Teams,” “For Enterprises”) and using benefit-led copy instead of feature lists, we will increase clarity and make the choice easier, leading to a higher trial sign-up rate.
- Hypothesis 2: By introducing a “Most Popular” badge on the middle tier and slightly adjusting the features/price of the lowest tier to make the middle tier appear more valuable (the Decoy Effect), we can nudge more users towards our target plan.
The Expected Outcome: Increased Lead Velocity & Strategic Insight
Through these experiments, the primary goal is to increase trial sign-ups and demo requests. The secondary, equally important, outcome is to gain validated insight into how different customer segments perceive value, which can inform long-term pricing and product strategy.
