Is your site banner doing a good enough job effectively conveying critical information to your customer? How can you tell? And is a banner even beneficial to your specific site? Past MarketingSherpa eye-tracking research has shown that up to 80% of repeat site visitors exhibit banner blindness, ignoring certain areas of a page entirely if they believe the content will not directly address their needs. How can you best leverage this prime real estate to boost site performance, rather than hurt clickthrough and conversion? In this 35-minute Web clinic – Mike Loveridge, Head of Digital Test and Learn, Humana, will join the MarketingExperiments team live to discuss a series of banner tests that his team carried out, including one test that increased clickthrough by 433%.

Despite the increase in understanding of optimization, email capture forms across the Web continue to underperform. Simply put, we are losing revenue in our sign-up forms. The ratio of undeliverable emails to new subscribers continues to grow, making each new capture increasingly important to maintaining a healthy list size. Because our email capture form provides us with the opportunity for specificity and segmentation, it is also the best way to ensure the right names are getting on our lists. Though it is easy as marketers to overlook the importance of optimizing our email capture, now is the time to refocus our efforts on this vital campaign element in order to increase both the size and quality of our lists. In this 35-minute Web clinic, we shared tests that have revealed actionable tactics to improve email capture, including one test that resulted in a 364% increase in leads. We also provided viewers with transferable takeaways that they can leverage for their own email capture.

Here at MarketingExperiments, applying the scientific method to digital marketing campaigns is at the heart of what we do. As digital marketing, A/B testing and optimization have become so important over the last 15 years that we’ve literally built the MECLABS Institute around them, a whole new language has sprung up around these idea, complete with its own unique buzzwords, acronyms, and industry shorthand. As marketers, particularly those just starting to test, it can be exhausting just figuring out how to talk the talk. To help you cut through the jargon and get straight to the heart of these terms, we at MarketingExperiments have created the Marketing and Online Testing Dictionary. This tool not only provides definitions of nearly two hundred marketing terms related A/B and multivariate testing, but also offers additional resources to help you learn more about many of the ideas and concepts presented herein.

The headline is an element that it so simple — you don't need any special coding skills to change headlines on your websites. Yet, headlines require serious attention. In this Web clinic, we shared a headline change that resulted in an 816% increase in conversion, just from understanding the cognitive psychology of the customer. The headline is so crucial to marketing campaigns that we have three writers performing a meta-analysis of our lab’s more than 15 years of behavioral research measuring real customer reactions to websites and campaigns from B2B, B2C and nonprofit brands. This Web clinic revealed key discoveries from this meta-analysis to help any marketer — no matter how much or how little copywriting experience they have — create more effective headlines. You’ll learn actionable principles for creating headlines that work to improve the results of all your marketing campaigns, emails and websites.

What truly makes donors give? What prompts customers to clickthrough some emails but delete others? While there are many technical factors involved in email marketing, the easiest to change, and the most impactful to the bottom line, is getting your messaging right. In this Web clinic, we’re reaching outside of our own labs to find one of the most interesting nonprofit tests we’ve seen in recent years. Why explore tests from nonprofit organizations? Nonprofits face the ultimate challenge. Without an actual product or service to sell, they must convert based on perceived value. If you can understand why people donate to a nonprofit, you can understand how to amp up the perceived value of any product or service's actual value. Tim Kachuriak, Chief Innovation and Optimization Officer, NextAfter brought three lessons learned from a test that generated a 380% increase in revenue per email for an American think tank.

As marketers, it is vital that our campaigns remain relevant to customers throughout the year. Seasonal campaigns tailored to specific holidays or events might be one way to ensure that our messaging remains in constant alignment with the motivations of our prospects. How can we be sure that our seasonal campaigns are truly bolstering the appeal of our product and enhancing our core value proposition? Despite the opportunities that season-specific campaigns present, how can we be sure these changes will not negatively affect the clarity of our messaging? In this 35-minute Web clinic, our research team shared strategies for finding the balance between seasonality and clarity, including a test that resulted in a 25% difference in clickthrough.

As marketers, brand strategy has never been more important. The color schemes, logos, Web design, typography and other design elements that we choose can immediately orient customers when they arrive at our pages. When used properly, these aesthetic choices also reinforce our core value proposition. Despite the importance of branded design, it is important to realize that we cannot allow our design choices to create obstacles or friction in the minds of our customers and prospects. In this Web clinic, our research team shared strategies for finding a balance between branded design and page clarity, including a test that helped boost subscriptions by 51%.

Customer motivation is the single most important factor in the sales process. Unfortunately, motivation is also the hardest variable for us to influence. Thus, when a motivated customer comes to our page, it is imperative that we understand the specific reason that they came to the page and harness that desire effectively. As marketers, we must be certain that the page elements we use align with the specific drive and thought processes of our prospects, empowering them to proceed rather than instilling conversion-killing anxiety or confusion. In this 35-minute Web clinic, our research team gave you tips — learned through years of research and rigor — about how to identify and leverage this motivation, including one test that boosted conversion by 65%.

In a January 2015 MarketingSherpa survey, U.S. adults in every single age group identified email as their preferred form of communication with companies. Despite the cross-generational appeal of email communication, it is important to realize that customers are not actively trying to open our emails. Rather, they are attempting to eliminate them. With so many messages flooding in daily, customers routinely skim their inboxes with one finger already hovering over the delete key, eager to eliminate any emails that don’t immediately appear relevant to their needs. As marketers, subject lines are our first line of defense against the trash bin, and we have precious few words to work with. Though the words we choose to use are vital, the order in which we sequence these words within the subject line can make or break our email campaigns as well. In this 35-minute Web clinic, our research team shared strategies for using the right words, in the right order to maximize the effectiveness of our email campaigns, including two tests that helped boost clickthrough by 15%.

According to a Pew Research Center report in 2013, eight out of 10 American Internet users regularly watch or download videos. The rapid expansion of video on the Web over the past five years has largely been powered by the adoption of smartphones, which make creating and uploading videos faster and easier than ever. This research indicates that in 2015 and beyond, video will continue to be an essential medium for content on the Web. As marketers, we often hear that video is the way to engage customers when developing creative for our companies or clients, but how do we know whether the investment is justified? How do we know that using video is any more effective for delivering a message to our audience than simple copy and static imagery? In this 35-minute Web clinic, our research team shares strategies for leveraging video to increase the performance of online marketing collateral, including one test that helped boost mobile conversion by over 50%.

Would you, as a marketing professional, prefer short-term profit or long-term growth? Although the answer should be obvious, in a hyper-competitive market, subscription marketers continue to opt for the former instead of the latter. Before discounting subscription products in an effort to increase conversions, you should consider the following questions: • How do you know that your current discounted pricing isn’t hurting your product's long-term value proposition? • How do you know you found the optimized price for your product? • Is a single price point or product appropriate for all prospective customers? • Do you know which aspect of the product customers value most? • How do you retain customers at a price point that maximizes revenue in the long-term? However large your company, it’s important to analyze the role that discounting plays in the overall subscription strategy. Marketers will learn what to consider before discounting products, as well as risk mitigation strategies inherent in long-term promotional offers.

A customer’s world is constantly changing. Each day, as technology evolves and devices change, so does the customer experience. This is particularly true for many in the subscription space, as content distribution is at the bleeding edge of all this change. As subscription marketers, we can often hear that our sites need to “be this” or “do that” in order to stay up with the changing customer experience. But what really makes a difference? What really works in marketing today? How are customers really being impacted by all these changes? In this 35-minute Web clinic, we transcended all the speculation and “best practices” to review a recent experiment in which we tested six different radical webpage approaches against each other to determine which would truly generate the most customer response within a market that is frequently inundated with constant change: the publication subscription space. But the goal of a test was not simply the lift, but gain knowledge. To that end, we walked through this experiment (and many others) as we distilled transferable insights gained from over a decade of testing, so that you can immediately apply the lessons learned from this experiment to your own webpages.

Many marketers depend on paid search to reach their customers. Significant revenue is spent on keyword strategy, but position is only half the battle. It really does not matter how many people see your PPC ad if it does not motivate anyone to click. This raises some essential questions: • Have you maximized the effectiveness of all 95 characters? • Does every word convey meaning with the greatest force? • Will your ad stand out from the competition? In this 35-minute interactive Web clinic, sponsored by Marin Software, the MECLABS research team reviewed a series of PPC experiments from the MECLABS research library in which small changes led to significant increases in ROI – including one experiment in which changing a single word increased CTR by 289%. During the course of the presentation, we identified transferable principles discovered from more than a decade of search experimentation that you can immediately apply to your own PPC campaigns.
