How the minimum premium gift impacts donor conversion

Experiment ID: #4364

The Heritage Foundation

Experiment Summary

Timeframe: 06/10/2016 - 06/23/2016

On one of their donor acquisition campaign, The Heritage Foundation was testing the use of a premium to increase conversion and average gift. Previous experiments had proven that the premium increased the likelihood of a donor to convert but we wanted to see if we could also increase to overall revenue coming from the campaign. We decided to try testing the premium at a $125 minimum gift level. The control treatment had the minimum gift set at $100.

Research Question

Can we increase overall revenue by increasing the minimum gift required for a donation premium?

Results

  Treatment Name Conv. Rate Relative Difference Confidence Average Gift
C: $100 Premium 1.3% $59.83
T1: $125 Premium 0.54% -58.4% 99.2% $87.33

This experiment has a required sample size of 1,215 in order to be valid. Since the experiment had a total sample size of 4,450, and the level of confidence is above 95% the experiment results are valid.

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% decrease in conversion rate
× 46.0% increase in average gift
39.3% decrease in revenue

Key Learnings

The $125 minimum gift was able to lift the average gift by 46% but it decreased the overall conversion by 58%. This resulted in a 39% decrease to overall revenue for the treatment. In this situation, the $100 minimum gift amount was the clear winner between the two.

However, even if this test had managed a slight increase to revenue but still decreased conversion rate significantly, the control would still have been the winner. The purpose of this campaign was new donor acquisition. It would take a significant increase in revenue to justify any loss in the number of donors acquired.
