How visual reinforcement of a premium affects donor conversion for a postal chase donation page

Experiment ID: #54839

The Navigators

Experiment Summary

Timeframe: 03/16/2021 - 05/22/2021

The Navigators were sending Easter cards as a premium offer to their direct mail file during the Easter season. They created a donation page for this campaign to receive traffic from the direct mail campaign and also as a landing point for Facebook ads which were shown to that audience to drive additional giving.

The donation page was very short and to the point. On reviewing it, the team wondered if adding a picture of the Easter cards (to reinforce what was sent in the mail) would increase conversion. They put an image of the card on the page, and added an additional paragraph of incentive-focused copy to remind them of the free premium they received.

They split the traffic to see which treatment converted more donors.

Research Question

We believe that visual reinforcement of a premium for postal chase visitors will achieve an increase in donations.
