The impact of slowing down the email acquisition process
Experiment ID: #7015
Alliance Defending Freedom
Experiment Summary
Timeframe: 09/06/2018 - 10/05/2018
Alliance Defending Freedom had been running a statement of belief email acquisition offer on their blog for several months running. After a visitor signed their name, they are redirected to a thank you page with the opportunity to make an instant donation. We had seen some success at converting these new subscribers but wanted to test new tactics to further increase this conversion.
We decided to test adding checkboxes to the statement of belief as a way to make subscribers put more thought into their subscription process. Our hypothesis was that by slowing down the email acquisition process, the new subscribers would be better aligned with the organization on the next screen which would increase subsequent donor conversion.
Research Question
Will adding checkboxes next to the statement of belief increase the new subscribers’ likelihood to make a subsequent gift?

Results
| Treatment Name | Conv. Rate | Relative Difference | Confidence | Average Gift | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C: | Fight | 0.10% | $0.00 | ||
| T1: | Fight - Checkboxes | 0.16% | 58.4% | 96.9% | $0.00 |

Flux Metrics Affected
The Flux Metrics analyze the three primary metrics that affect revenue (traffic, conversion rate, and average gift). This experiment produced the following results:
0% increase in traffic
× 58.4% increase in conversion rate
× 0% increase in average gift
Key Learnings
By slowing down the email acquisition process and making new subscribers think more about the statements they were adding their name to, we were able to increase the subsequent donor conversion by 58%. It is important to note that this experiment is not simply about adding checkboxes to a statement of belief, it is about slowing the conversion process down as a means to get the subscriber better aligned to the organization’s mission.
