Convert more customers by:
- Optimizing the purchase funnel:
- Test how conversion is impacted with various customer buying flows
- Test PayPal Express checkout against other purchase flows
- Compare single page vs multi-page checkouts, or any other combination of elements; including different placements of add-ons specific to digital goods, cart layouts, design, or style – from widgets to new templates, call to action buttons, font, logos, copywriting, and more.
Basically, if you can change it, you can test it with the Avangate Spring release.
- Optimizing promotional strategies: Test which campaign works best. Compare campaigns with discounts or without, and test percentage or fixed-rate discounts and coupons, to find the optimal discount.
- Optimize up-selling campaigns: Test various display options and designs to up-sell products in the cart, including interstitial vs inline placement.
