- 3. "If you go to the men's washrooms at the Schiphol airport in Amsterdam, you may notice there's a fly in the urinals. It’s screen printed . So what do you think most men do? That's right, they aim at the fly when they urinate. They don't even think about it, and they don't need to read a user's manual; it's just an instinctive reaction that means 80% less spillage!* The interesting feature of these urinals is that they're deliberately designed to take advantage of this inherent human male tendency.“ This is my job.

Get OUT of the office! • This is a key technique for Conversion Optimisation • No excuses either – go and find people, anywhere (F&F, Retail, Local café) • If you do this properly, you learn where all the connective tissue needs to be – the bits that glue the experience together from a customer perspective • Hits the sweet spot of goals, optimal technology delivery and revenue growth • Faster time to market, lower development costs • Designed for users, not by them • Focuses entire team on what customers need and where the money is • Actionable insights which identify pivots or disruptive opportunities • Removes costly re-release cycles on multiple platforms • Increases revenue, customer satisfaction, growth • Removes EGO, OPINION, WHIM and FLUFF -> 100% • It costs nothing but listening time

- 45. Key learnings – on page elements • Less is more – simplicity, comprehension, clarity in design • Copy is king – not content, but key persuasive copy • Large, prominent, visible, button like CTA • CTA above fold, especially on landing page • Do not split attention on CTA (Save, Cancel, Print, Back, Help) • Use goal oriented keywords (Fix my glass!) • Where is the core value proposition? • Maintain a scent – PPC advert, Landing page, Funnel, Reflect the user • CTA wording, headlines, copy, framing = 50%+ of uplift • Think about emotional states and make use of them • Use badging, testimonials, social proofing and trust symbols • We run a betting pool – even the best people get only 60-70% right • Guidelines are good but every page and site will vary
- 46. Key learnings – test approach • Stop testing rubbish subtleties (e.g. Button colour) • Cultural factors are minimal • Market, Consumers and Traffic are much larger drivers • Faster cycles of smaller tests = better (fail faster) • Not how many you start a month – it’s how many you finish! • A wide scope and mixture of tests -> the recipe – is the key! • Micro testing (small changes) x 10 = better than 1 big test • You need directional research inputs as well as wild guesses • Don’t test yourself into a corner – keep challenging design • Use A/B to test radical approaches/disruptive change • Don’t forget the words – they make a huge difference

- 50. Summary – Testing approach • Don’t overcook tests with too many variables • Don’t test things very similar (blue vs. green button?) • Don’t be timid – fail faster, be bolder • International tests show little cultural differences • Market conditions & traffic mix are more important • Biggest drivers on page = • Copy, CTA and CTA copy, Images, Badging, Nav/Layout • Biggest external factors = • Page and site performance, Browser compatibility

- 65. Cross Channel Contact Tips Test or provide the contact options customers want: • Low cost calls (vital) • Ringback / Callback • Email • Chat • Video chat or Facetime • Ability to text you Vital to explain the contact cost landscape (mobiles): • Customers don’t like ‘funny’ numbers and avoid them • You need to explain clearly what the costs are: “Calls costs may vary depending on your network provider, package and any limits you may have on your current operating tariff. If charged, you'll be billed the same amount as the equivalent of a local calling rate” – “Free if you have monthly minutes”
- 66. Contact Tracking Step 1 : Add a unique phone number on ALL channels (you can also change numbers for traffic source) Step 2 : For phones, add “Tap to Call” or “Click to Call”! • Incredibly useful keyword level call tracking • Very reliable data, easy & cheap to do • What did they do before calling? • Which page did they call you from? • What PPC or SEO keyword did they type into Google? • What are you over or underbidding for? • Which online marketing really sucks?

- These really exist and there are now urinal games, which when men play them (by peeing left and right) – they control the game character on a video screen. This has also independently proven that the concentration involved reduces spillage. Optimisation is not just for the web!
- And just to show it’s not all fluffy kittens in the world of user experience...
- Today I’m going to talk about all the problem areas in conversion. The bad stuff. I’m not going to show you 25 A/B test results and ask you to guess the winner. I want to show you the places where conversion goes to suck – and suggest ways to help here.PROBLEM 1 : Not enough immersionWhen these guys designed this product, they made everyone put in their registration number. It’s so badly designed, the queues take ages and all because they were too mean to let you share or give a parking ticket to someone else. The emotional message – “Screw you, people”. I’ve seen these parking meters being slapped, kicked, booted, defaced or even indeed ripped out of the ground.This is the lesson – get in the shoes for the journey of the customers. These magic slippers of customer experience will take you to new places – but you have to wear them first. There isn’t a chauffeured customer experience limo here. Tesco makes its IT managers go and work in the departments that use their software. Belron people go out with the van drivers, listen in the call centre, talk to customers and everyone involved. Get immersed.
- Actually use the whole product, all of you, that you are optimising. I’ll come to web journeys later.You should be disruptive, difficult and demanding - make things happen and see what shakes out:Like:Order 12 pairs of shoes and send eleven back.If you make flatpack furniture, order it an put it together.Send the products back. Ask for a refund. Complain about stuff.Buy 3 products by mistake. Try to get the order changed.Try to do everything on your mobile and then switch to a desktop site to finish it. What happens?

- If you want ideas of levers to use on people, persuasive tactics to set up or just what might be preventing them bailing on you, then do some testing. All you need is a £40 bit of software, a laptop and two people with a pulse. It’s not expensive or hard.Most of our pivotal, disruptive or game changing insights come from user testing.

- User centred design is the technique we use to get stuff right, first time (click) The quality of the experience with technology IS the online brand (click) that generates feelings about us (click)Being in the middle here makes you unique amongst your competitors. This is the sweet spot (click)We do continual improvements of our products - in a permanent state of designing and testing, just like Dyson, Edison and Jobs showed us.
- And the future for us is multi-platform. We’ve designed our web, iPhone, Android and tablet experiences to be in that sweet spot I mentioned. Most importantly, by improving them in concert, the entire product suite is aligned and optimised for user experience and contact methods.
- Enough said on the slide!
- All the work I’m doing these days is designed to avoid this : A ceaseless, never yielding robotic response to an experience that’s all too human.Emotion examples : Leave for parking, leave keys, levels of urgency, registration number, work & costs, forms emotion messagesDo things like : VOC feedback, crowdsource testing, remote testing etc., surveys, bail surveys, emotional remarketing
- The problem here is that people don’t read the way you want to. The problem here is that not many companies are taking advantage of the scan/peck/hunt way of content consumption and the behaviours that go with it. Using text decoration, layout, bullet points and paying someone who isn’t from the Muppets to write your words. All this stuff really works on conversion and micro tests we’ve done show it’s true. With shrinking screen sizes, copy expertise is vital for mobile sites and apps. Every word and every syllable and how they are laid out – it all counts. In our multivariate tests – copy is usually 50-70% of the total lift. Invest in words and the emotions they create, the questions they solve. A neglected area and big opportunity. We’re experimenting with long form pages now – where we carry a design at the head of the page focused on one conversion possibility. We also create some genuinely useful copy, some for SEO purposes (in collapsed sections) and work hard on the scannability. The reading behaviour I’m talking about doesn’t mean using less words for customers – just knowing where and when to use short, persuasive copy, linking and calls to actions.So – my advice? Write your copy for conversion paths but support customer utility and SEO. Harder than it sounds - like herding weasels on speed.
- I meet a lot of people who live in their cylinder of excellence in their company and all is good and wonderful. What they never do is get together and actually look at the entire customer journey. Optimisers often talk about scent trails and in Belron – we like to walk the adverts, referrer sites, organic search results, landing pages, funnels – as the user, with them in mind and always on the lookout for gaps.There are many ways to improve journeys that we advise – but the one thing that sometimes gets missed is the relevance of the whole experience, never mind just one part of it. And don’t sweat every journey – you should know the primary paths. Take your friends or family through these paths sometime and ask them to talk out loud what they’re thinking. Even better, do it with your customers.Aside from techniques like using scent trails, mirroring the customer, repeating their search phrase or word and doing testing and optimisation work – what’s the big learning for me? Use clicktale NOW! TODAY!
- And compared to that, what happened when I went for a holiday in the Wilds of Norway? Awesome mobile performance, everywhere – in town, in the country, miles away from any major town or city. Australia also has wonderful spectrum and performance on their 3G and 4G network. Getting wifi like performance in the city and superb 3G access for hundreds of miles around. Assume that these are the exceptions, rather than the rule.
- Not everything in Norway was wonderful – I stayed well away from the Hotel entertainment at nightime!
- Create a suck index = pageviews * load time. Sort the column in descending order. Start working on it from the top. Worth lots of money.Use Webpagetest.org – super, awesome, really useful and detailed analysis tool. It actually tells you how to fix all the problems it finds. So, not like a usability consultant then eh?
- These are the results of a live test on a site, where an artificial delay is introduced in the performance testing. I’ve done some testing like this myself on desktop and mobile sites and confirm this is true – you’re increasing bounce rate, decreasing conversion, site engagement…It doesn’t matter what metric you use, performance equals MONEY or if not measured, a HUGE LOSS.
- Performance also harms the lifeblood of e-commerce and revenue generating websites – repeat visitors! The gap here in one second of delay is enormous over time. You’re basically sucking a huge portion of potential business out of your site, with every additional bit of waiting time you add.
- Here I show you some examples of well known brands, some of whom should know better. The larger the size of the page, the longer it will take to download and render on the device, especially when you don’t have perfect data conditions. The numberof requests also makes a difference, as it’s inefficient on mobile to open lots of connections like this. In short, the smaller the pagesize and number of requests you can aim for, the better. I’m patient with bad data connections but do people have the tolerance for 10-15 seconds on mobile? No – it has to happen much faster.
- Doesn’t matter if you’re rolling the slickest, sexiest looking dice around – you’re still guessing if you’re not testing stuff.We’ve tested over 30M visitors over the last year and aim to do 3 times or more in 2013.Our main testing is on landing pages, funnels, homepages, product pages – anywhere there is traffic, opportunity and behaviour that can be shiftedWe’ve found that the best results are from wide and deep mixtures of testing, across an entire site. It isn’t about doing one test and leaving it – we continuously improve journeys, pages and funnels during the lifecycle of each product.We even do micro testing now, where we vary a line of copy, a button somewhere. This stuff is good – one small test (copy + button) was worth 300K Euros a year on one site. If you do 100 micro tests instead of 10 big tests, you’d make more money faster and the product improves incrementally every time.
- Note : We mainly do small variable MVT or A/B/n tests these days – large scale complex MVT tests are a waste of time (this needs some explaining so contact me). It’s about where you test and the variety of testing techniques you apply, not the type of test, in my opinion.
- Forrester clearly shows the progression of multichannel businesses into cross and fully omnichannel contextually aware business services, with a device interface layer. The business becomes the product and channel configuration that the customers needs to satisfy their goals and tasks with you on any device, anywhere and in every way.
- Add unique phone numbers to all your mobile sites and apps. That’s for starters.Then configure your analytics to collect data when people Click or Tap to make a phone call.Make sure you add other events like ringbacks, email, chat – any web forms or lead gen activity too.

That I have a long tail thing I want to talk to you about?No – this shows how much the ratio of phone to online conversion we have, by keyword.Some keywords generate nearly 25 times the call volume of others, which is a huge differential.This means that if you thought you got ‘roughly’ the same proportion of phone calls for different marketing activity, you are wrong.What this graph tells me is that the last 2 years of my stats are basically a big dog poo.
