How donor-centric language affects conversion rate

Experiment ID: #1039

CaringBridge

Experiment Summary

Timeframe: 03/16/2015 - 03/19/2015

CaringBridge commonly used site takeover graphics to boost response during fundraising campaigns. However, the language on those overlay graphics had never been tested to determine if we could improve response. We created a treatment that only changed a single headline, taking the CTA from “organizational-centric” copy to “donor-centric” copy.

Research Question

Will donor-centric language increase motivation to give?
