How perceived exclusivity affects conversion rate
Experiment ID: #1461
Texas State Historical Association
Experiment Summary
Timeframe: 06/02/2015 - 06/22/2015
The TSHA launched a name and donor acquisition campaign, offering their Battle of the Alamo eBook free for a limited time. They wanted to test the impact of urgency — even though no end date was clearly defined. Two ads were created: one positioned itself to appeal to Texas history lovers, and the other used “while it lasts” language.
Research Question
Does perceived urgency increase conversion?
Design
C: Love Texas history
