Delivery of user behaviour insights enhanced client’s voucher strategy
But Why?
When we dug deeper, we noted that the voucher code option was sitting at the same level as the payment options. This immediately created a problem because it encouraged users to apply a code – even if they didn’t have one. In fact, just over 10% of users were attempting to use voucher codes.
The second problem was that the voucher option sent users to a different page – and it was what we call ‘voucher code jail’. There was nothing else the user could do but apply voucher codes. Indeed we identified that users added a code 4.1 times before giving up on their purchase altogether.
So, we knew there were two things we needed to test.
- 1
Reducing the prominence of the voucher code on the payment page
- 2
Keeping the users on the payment page instead of sending them to ‘voucher code jail’
We believed that by taking these two actions Sports Direct would see an increase in the % of users converting.
And were we right?
Yes we were.
But perhaps what was most interesting was that within the experiment, we also captured what voucher codes users were entering – whether they worked or not. This identified a pattern of failed codes that uncovered a main referral source that was causing these failed codes and a regex-ed pattern that highlighted both how and why users were failing in their voucher code submission.
