CRO & Testing

Social proof

Ever think you’d pay a stranger to stay in their home when they’re not there? Airbnb realized that convincing people of this would be challenging when they first started out. 

As a relatively unknown platform, it needed to gain the trust of users who were skeptical about staying in strangers’ homes. To overcome this, Airbnb emphasized user reviews and host ratings. As the reviews grew, so did the platform’s popularity, ultimately transforming it into a global giant. 

This is social proof in action.

At its core, social proof is the psychological phenomenon where people look to the actions and opinions of others to guide their own behavior, especially when unsure about a choice. It‘s a powerful tool for anyone looking to influence decisions, build trust, and grow their brand or business.

Statistical power

Years ago, when I first started split-testing, I thought every test was worth running. It didn’t matter if it was changing a button color or a headline—I wanted to run that test.

Social login

We are always striving to boost conversion rates and encourage users to engage more.

Forward-looking businesses are using social login, also known as social sign-on, to do just that.

Marketing Integrations

More than 60% of marketers use 20+ marketing tools on a regular basis according to Airtable. For email marketing alone, more than half of small businesses use two or more tools according to Litmus.

On top of this, the number of sales and marketing tools each company uses is forecasted to continue to increase rapidly as the number of available tools and the amount of customer data grows.

At the same time, according to Mulesoft, only 28% of tools a company uses are integrated with other tools. More tools, more data, but limited integration—can you spot the issue here?
