Purchase Intent: 3 quick case studies show how marketers increased opt-ins, leads, and ROAS by tapping into customer motivation

https://www.marketingsherpa.com/article/case-study/purchase-intent-case-studies-marketing-opt-ins-leads-ROAS-customer-motivation

This month Marketing Sherpa brings us 3 new quick case studies.

The first is a home improvement website which increased their opt-in conversions by 50%. They used Hotjar to visualize user interaction, in conjunction with Google Analytics to identify their best performing channels. They learned that there were 2 particular demographics that were engaging with the site, first time home buyers under the age of 30 and senior citizens above 65. 

With this information they were able to customize their funnels for the 2 demographics, tailoring the message for each, and subsequently improving the click-through rate from an ad landing page where they offered a lead magnet from 3% to 11%. Opt-in email conversions for the lead magnet increased by 50%.

The second case study shows how by focusing on purchase intent, a wine store increased their return on ad spend 24% above their goal. 

And lastly, an autobahn indoor speedway 10x’s their leads by leveraging an AI powered chat bot.

From Conversion Rate Experts we have a case study on how they improved conversions by 470% by adopting a mobile led approach. 

They go in depth into what aspects of mobile optimization they targeted and tested, beginning with the approach that mobile visitors are not just desktop visitors on a different device. By looking into visitor data, they determined that mobile visitors had very different intentions, likes and dislikes than their desktop counterparts.

They then tested a long form landing page, which increased sign ups 78% above the original. With this format, they had the chance to address all the objections people might have around a financial product for children. They were also able to visually get their message across and increase trust by highlighting their collaboration with Visa.
