Alpesh Gaglani, Director of Engineering at Thumbtack, shared how they conduct experiments to guide product development and the complexity innate in running these experiments. Thumbtack is a local services marketplace where customers find and hire skilled professionals.

He mentioned how engagement can be increased by enabling customers to refine their search or filter keywords based on specific criteria. For example, a customer wants to hire a birthday party caterer specializing in preparing food with dietary restrictions or an appliance installer specializing in repairs or installation of a particular brand.

Through this, customers yield quick results and help customers find the right professionals who can do the job for them.

How to do Guarantees Right. And How we Grew a Business by 49% by Adding a Guarantee.

https://conversion-rate-experts.com/guarantees/

This article from the Conversion Rate Experts talks about when and why guarantees work.

A guarantee helps customers feel at ease as it reduces the risk for them if the company does not deliver what it claims.

This is evident when they implemented a bold guarantee for Geeks2U— to augment the already-great service offered. Just by adding a guarantee on the page, the initial test generated 11% more orders, which increased to 21% when a more specific and prominent version was used. 

Then another experiment with a new variation using a single, powerful sentence, supported with a simple visual, resulted in 24% more conversions. These tests garnered them an overall improvement of 49% over the original “guarantee-less” page. 

In addition, they also pointed out the use of positive terms to deliver a positive promise like “We guarantee that you’ll love our service.” Instead of “If you dislike our service….” 

If you are curious about crafting a guarantee, a 9-step checklist for implementing a bold yet safe guarantee is also discussed in the article.
