How personalization in donation page headline copy affects donor conversion
Experiment ID: #3666
CaringBridge
Experiment Summary
Timeframe: 04/01/2016 - 04/11/2016
Previous CaringBridge tests had shown that in the tribute funnel (where visitors give in honor of their friend of loved one), personalization improved the likelihood of donor conversion. However, previous experiments had also shown that a clear, direct headline (in this case “Give to CaringBridge”) resulted in the highest donor conversion.
The team wanted to test whether a personalized, donor-centric call to action, though longer and less direct, would improve the clarity of the value proposition, present a stronger incentive, and result in higher donor conversion.
Research Question
Will a personalized, donor-centric headline outperform a clear, direct headline?
Design
C: Direct Headline
