Experiment Summary

Timeframe: 08/04/2017 - 08/17/2017

The treatment copy produced an over 50% increase in conversion rate. This is likely due to the more personal copy that resonated with the Facebook ad’s personal tone, creating a more cohesive pathway for a more naturally emotionally-charged offer on the affects of poverty on our children’s worldviews.

This experiment has a required sample size of 284 in order to be valid. Since the experiment had a total sample size of 421, and the level of confidence is not above 95% the experiment results are not valid.

Key Learnings

Buckner International was running a name acquisition campaign tied to a free ebook offer. They wanted to test if more personal, emotionally-charged body copy would affect conversion rate on the offer landing page. We also removed a scripture reference and a bolded portion of copy from the body. All other elements remained the same.
