Why We Wrote This e-book
Frequently, businesses ask us which is the best experimentation and personalisation platform for them.
The simple answer is…
…it depends.
There is no straightforward answer.
There are so many factors to consider. Like—
• Do you have the resources and experience to create experiments?
• What are your objectives?
• Do you plan to optimise your landing pages?
• And your apps, do you plan to optimise them?
• And your email content, do you plan on optimising that?
• What about ad content for your display and PPC text?
• What about experiment automation, is this required?
• Is personalisation a requirement and if so what level of personalisation is required and why?
• And what budget do you have for all this?
The questions and the answers are endless.
As an optimisation company we are platform-agnostic. The right solution is different for different
businesses.
We wrote this book for all the e-commerce professionals who are tasked with the responsibility of
deciding which platform their business onboards.
This is the world’s first ever book dedicated purely to experimentation & personalisation platforms.
We researched the globe and identified 100 platforms that have made it into this book.
We’ve looked at their capabilities from experimentation, personalisation, server-side testing, and
so much more.
Where guideline pricing is available, we have included that too.
Hopefully this book will help save you many, many hours of research time and it will play a pivotal
role in helping you assess which platforms may be right for you and your business.
With kindness and best wishes,

AB Tasty: In-depth Testing,
Personalisation, Nudge Engagement, and
Product Optimisation
AB Tasty has a set of optimisation solutions for marketing as well as product teams. Its marketing
suite includes different testing scenarios—A/B/n, Split, Multivariate, and Funnel—and tools to
personalise marketing campaigns for your customers and nudge them into action. This tool also
has server-side testing and AI-powered personalisation capabilities.
What features does AB Tasty have?
Source: AB Tasty
1. Run both client-side and server-side tests easily: With its WYSIWYG visual editor, you can create
experiments without needing to know coding. You can create the following types of experiments:
• A/B/n test: This allows you to develop 2 or more variations of the same page and test and
compare which one is more effective and drives better conversions.
• Split test: This allows you to split traffic among pages on your servers for testing and comparing
the effectiveness and conversion rates.
• Multivariate test: This allows you to test various changes on the same page to check what works
best.
• Funnel test: This allows you to show changes consistently across many pages.
• Server-side test: This allows you to run tests at any point of your customer’s purchase journey,
directly from the server codes.
It also has a dynamic allocation option with which you can automate the testing process and find
winning variations faster and with less manual analytics. You can choose test triggers from a wide
variety of parameters such as location, URL, UTM parameters, purchase behaviour, and your own
audience segments from your Data Management Platform (DMP), among others.
2. Personalise your customer’s buying experience: You can categorise your visitors based on their
behaviour on your site and create targeted marketing campaigns for each group of users. You will
be able to see the performance of each campaign and modify it according to your needs. You can
personalise based on parameters such as:
• Pages: Segregate according to URL, pages with specific elements, or URL patterns.
• Source of traffic: Show your visitors pages and messages depending on how they reach your
website: ad campaigns, referrals, organic search, emails, etc.
• Behaviours: Show a customer the content required to increase your conversions, based on their
scrolling pattern, items they’re adding to cart, when/where they’re exiting the site, when they
made the last purchase, or how long they’ve been inactive on the site.
• Technology: Personalise according to the channel, device, or browser your customers use.
• Segment visitors: Create targeted content and campaigns for high-value visitors who make
bigger or higher-value purchases or frequently come back to your site, through Audience
Builder.
• Integrate with other marketing tools: Link AB Tasty with your existing Customer Data Platforms
(CDP) or DMP and get access to richer data and analytics.

3. Encourage your visitors to convert: You can use AB Tasty’s Nudge Engagement templates to
encourage your visitors to do more on your website. You can customise the messages and popups they see through a drag-and-drop editor and add social proofs to make them want to buy the
product. You can also decide at what point of the customer’s journey on your website you want
them to see different kinds of messages. The tool also makes sure that all data is captured and
updated in real-time.
4. Control what visitors see and release features gradually with Flagship: Through Feature Flags,
you can define the flags on when to show different features and build in scenarios or conditions to
work alongside those flags. Depending on how your KPIs are performing, you can control which
11
features are shown or not shown to your audience at different times. Flagship can handle the load
of continuous deployment and will take care of quick deployment or rollbacks. With Progressive
Rollout, you can control who can see your new features and the frequency at which features are
deployed. This allows you to track how each feature is performing and how they are received.
Updates coming soon: AB Tasty is developing a Visitor Engagement Score—powered by a transparent
algorithm that can be tweaked to suit specific use cases—which will allow users to build personalisation
campaigns by targeting a visitor’s engagement level.
Integrations:
Google Analytics (GA), Adobe Analytics, Tealium, ComScore, Drupal, WordPress, Mixpanel, Segment,
Clickatell, Temelio, Crazy Egg, AT Internet, CoreMetrics, Piwik, Webtrends, Econda, GoSquared,
SessionCam, Webtrekk, Eulerian, Weborama, and others.
What will this platform cost you?

AB Tasty case studies
The software boasts of over 900 clients, which includes L’Oreal, Hershey’s, Cardif, Disneyland Paris,
and Citroen.
Client: Decathlon
Industry: Sports
Goals and results:
• Reducing the choice overwhelm in products felt by shoppers: Social proof was chosen as the
way to nudge website visitors further down the purchase funnel: AB Tasty’s AI-driven Social Proof
widget was added to product pages. The widget dynamically shows the number of times a product
is viewed by other shoppers, giving other visitors an idea of which items are popular. A/B tests for
social proofing were run on 400 product pages. The text was inserted automatically just below the
customer reviews ratings and above the product description.
• 1.5% increase in clicks for all users, and 2.8% for returning visitors
• 2.4% uplift in transactions for all users, and 3.3% for returning visitors
• 1.3% increase in revenue for all users, and 2.8% for returning visitors
Client: Yves Saint Laurent
14
Industry: Beauty
Goals and results:
• Encouraging customers to purchase from the YSL Beauty site rather than from third-party sites:
A/B testing was done to find the best order of the menu bar tabs. The order of ‘New Products’ and
‘Exclusive Offers’ tabs was changed. The test ran on over 150,000 visitors for 1 month. By putting
‘Exclusive Offers’ first instead of ‘New Products’, the following results were achieved:
• 9% spike in access to the basket page
• 13% increase in access to the checkout page
• 10% rise in transactions

Adobe Target: Omnichannel Testing and
AI-based Personalisation
Adobe Target is part of the Adobe Experience Cloud marketing and optimisation suite. It
allows you to create personalised journeys for your website users and make sure your ideas
work through user experiments. It uses artificial intelligence to enrich your optimisation and
automation efforts.
What features does Adobe Target have?
1. Create tests easily: You can conduct A/B tests and multivariate tests (including full factorial) and
run multiple variations at the same time. The visual experience composer allows you to create
test variations and modify them with a simple drag-and-drop process. You can make changes to
images, text, URL, user interface, layout, position—pretty much everything on your page.
Source: Adobe.com Tutorials
2. Test your ideas on multiple channels: The experiments can be conducted not only for your
website but other digital channels such as mobile apps, single-page apps, intelligent devices (IoT),
set-top boxes, ATMs, and kiosks, as well. You can conduct tests both on the client side and server
side.
3. Define testing criteria and reach winning variations faster: You can define what sets of visitors to
show the variations to, choose your success KPIs, and set your sample size before starting the test.
Target not only guides you through the process of creating and launching a test, but also allocates
traffic to winning variations automatically through the multi-armed bandit testing process. It also
tells you about the best-performing variations and combinations and what element of each variation
is the most successful through a neat element contribution report.
4. Build a unified visitor profile and deliver seamless omnichannel personalisation: Thoroughly
assess the data gathered from all your brand assets—website, app, ads, social media, email
marketing, etc.—and imported from your existing CRM/DMP data, to create user profiles and
audience segments. Target brings these data and insights together to create a unified visitor
profile that allows you to personalise 1:1 and seamlessly across media, instead of giving distorted
experiences to the customers. This data is updated in real-time and improvised as each customer’s
interaction with the brand increases.
5. Create your own personalisation rules: You can decide what a user—or groups of users—receives
what kind of personalisation. For example, a special offer can be shown only to visitors who come
to your website through a social media advertisement click, or specific products are recommended
to users who opened your site through organic product search on Google.
Source: Adobe.com Tutorials
6. Or capitalise on the AI, Adobe Sensei, for tailored user experiences: Use one-click
personalisation powered by Adobe Sensei to automate your personalisation efforts. Let the AI
create audience segments and targeting rules based on historical and real-time data about the
users’ demographics, behaviour, and relationship level. Based on these insights, you can also
automate the offers shown to each visitor, personalise their search experience through autofill, and
recommend the most relevant products/content/media to each user.

Dynamic Yield: Omnichannel Testing,
AI-Based Personalisation, and Data
Management
Dynamic Yield is a testing and personalisation platform that allows you to conduct different types
of statistical tests on multiple channels and personalise your content and recommendations for
different user segments using AI and predictive targeting. It also offers data management and
behavioural targeting.
What features does Dynamic Yield have?
1. Personalise uniformly across channels: Achieve omnichannel personalisation by linking customer
profiles and delivering seamless experiences to each customer across web, mobile, ads, and
email. You can create Multi-Touch Campaigns (MTCs) that connect user experiences at different
touchpoints of the user journey within one overarching experiment.
2. Conduct client- and server-side optimisation tests: You can experiment anywhere in your tech
stack and continuously improve your business using machine-led optimisation. You can experiment
and optimise content, product or content recommendations, notifications, overlays, and more.
You can create and modify pages, its elements, and their positioning using a WYSIWYG editor and
ready-to-use templates. The platform offers Bayesian and multi-armed bandit algorithms to optimise
tests, which means traffic is automatically allocated to the best performing variation in real-time. You
can go for an API-only integration, a client-side-only deployment, or a hybrid mode where you use a
mix of server-side APIs and client-side scripts.
Source: Dynamic Yield
3. Manage customer data and create targetable user segments: Onboard and connect all available
user data from existing online and offline software such as ESPs, CRMs, DMPs, and POS solutions,
in addition to the real-time data gathering the platform does. Dynamic Yield will allow you to
explore this data and identify the most valuable user segments/profiles/groups based on a host
of parameters; you can also create segments based on your requirements. If you have multiple
domains and marketing channels, you can even share this data amongst them to enhance the
personalisation experience across your user base.
4. Target the right user with the right content/product: By creating a range of targeting rules, from
simple to sophisticated, you can deploy personalised experiences for each user segment—even for
anonymous users—through real-time identification of preferences and intent. Dynamic Yield uses AI
to automate the targeting of messaging, overlays, product and content recommendations, social
proof, and notifications. These can be based on predefined rules and triggers as well as by AIforecasting of user behaviour and intent. Additionally, Dynamic Yield’s Predictive Targeting solution
uncovers personalisation opportunities, allowing you to deploy the optimal targeting set-up and
drive the most revenue uplift.
Source: Dynamic Yield
5. Get extensive reports and insights from your campaigns: Set your own goals and KPIs and
measure the performance of your tests against them. You can monitor overall site performance
20
along with the rest of your personalisation experiments and activities. Understand how audiences
are impacting your business, see which campaigns are still awaiting statistical significance, and
evaluate how recommendations are driving revenue. You will also receive in-depth reports on the
performance of tests as well as personalisation campaigns.
6. Get technical expertise and support: Dynamic Yield’s platform is easy-to-use and built for
both non-technical business users as well as seasoned engineers. Beyond the tool, you can find
extensive documentation and best practices within its Knowledge Base and have access to support
from experts when it comes to use cases, strategy, and execution.

engagement.

experience. The system is pivotal to driving our online offering, allowing us to deliver the greatest
possible relevance to our fans throughout the online journey. This has helped drive improved

Google Optimize: In-depth Testing,
Personalisation, and Analytics
Google Optimize allows you to conduct optimisation tests as well as personalise content and
products for your visitors. It comes in 2 varieties: Google Optimize and Google Optimize 360,
where the former is for small businesses and the latter for enterprises. It is a part of the Google
Marketing Platform, and links seamlessly with other Google digital marketing products such as
Analytics, and Ads.
What features does Google Optimize have?
1. Create advanced experiments with ease: You can create A/B/n tests, multivariate tests, split
URL tests, and server-side tests that are based on the Bayesian statistical method. Use the visual
WYSIWYG editor to create changes to your content, design, layout, and other page elements. You
can create tests for any device or channel and schedule the start and end time as well. You can also
make advanced changes using the raw HTML, JavaScript, and CSS code editor. With Optimize 360,
you can run a maximum of 100 tests at the same time.
2. Manage the experiments without hassle: The experiment activity log keeps a record of all the
changes made to the tests, such as what changes were made, when, and through which user
account. The diagnostics on the visual editor shows you any problems with the test before launch;
you can also preview your tests to see how they look on different devices and make sure everything
works as you want them to. You can also schedule tests by specifying start and end dates.
3. Personalise your testing experience: Make use of data from client-side, such as cookies, JavaScript
variable, data layer variables in your tag management protocol, and other activation events to
customise your page variations for your visitors. You can leverage the Analytics audience segments,
UTM or query parameters on your URLs, and other user attributes to make the personalisation more
relevant.
4. Get actionable insights and detailed reports: Integration with Google Analytics ensures
detailed data analytics and insights not only on your website but also on the performance of your
experiments and personalisation activities. You can check the results against different page variants
and compare them against the KPIs you need to monitor. These allow you to make strategy changes
and other business decisions quickly. The objectives you can configure are:
a. System objectives: Includes pageviews, session duration, bounce rate, number of transactions,
revenue, AdSense impressions, AdSense click-through rate, and AdSense revenue.
b. Google Analytics goals that are already configured or newly configured in your account.
c. Custom objectives: Includes event objectives (separate from pageviews) and pageviews
objectives.
d. Upgraded Experiment Objectives: This is only available for Optimize 360. This allows you to
set new objectives even after the test has started running.
Integrations:
Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google BigQuery, Google Cloud, Firebase, and AMP
What will this platform cost you?
Optimize is a free tool but Optimize 360 is paid. The plan details are given below, but you’ll have to

Google Optimize case studies
Client: Telia Norway
Industry: Telecommunications
Product used: Optimize
Goals and Results:
Improve UX for mobile users to improve conversions from mobile devices:
• Reduced size of the hero image on homepage led to a 19.3% conversion spike
• New CTA checkout message (instead of a generic one) led to a 20.5% decrease in bounce rate
• Display of monthly price instead of annual one led to a 94% increase in sales
Testimonial:
“With Optimize we’ve been able to quickly and easily set up site experiments. This has lowered
the threshold for testing even the smallest improvements to our site… We were able to analyse
our Optimize experiments with important metrics and values we were already monitoring in
Analytics. This made it easy for us to measure the impact of the experiment.”
Simen Petersen, Digital Business Developer & Project Lead, Telia Norway
Client: Spotify
Industry: Music
Product used: Optimize 360

Goals and Results:
Increase subscriptions for its premium product:
• Tests revealed that users in Germany were listening to audiobooks more than music, so using
integration with Google Ads campaigns, custom landing pages were created for users who
searched for audiobooks. Led to 24% rise in premium subscriptions in Germany
Testimonial:
“Optimize 360 gave us new possibilities and opportunities. We’ve improved how we localise
and personalise our site, and we’re tapping into new audiences that we wouldn’t have reached
before… with Optimize, we could have 20 or more tests running at the same time in different
countries, different landing pages, or different places on the Spotify.com domain.”

Monetate: Omnichannel Optimisation
Intelligence, Testing, and Personalisation
Monetate is an optimisation intelligence and personalisation engine that allows you to
improve conversions and sales of your website through A/B & Dynamic Testing, Product
Recommendations, Audience Insights, and 1-to-1 Personalisation. Monetate is also a key element
in the broader Kibo Personalization Commerce Cloud, enabling personalisation across the entire
user journey.
What features does Monetate have?
Monetate delivers best-in-class solutions for e-commerce optimisation and personalisation, designed
from the ground-up for marketers.
1. Conduct omnichannel tests with ease and confidence: You can create A/B tests, multivariate tests,
and dynamic tests, for websites, single-page apps, and other digital channels. You can conduct tests
on both the client and server side. The advanced dynamic testing feature allows you to automate
experimentation; experiment results are tracked in real-time and traffic is automatically reduced from
the losing variants and allocated to the winning variant. This saves you both time and resource—there’s
neither a need to wait to reach statistical significance nor to manually monitor the test results.
2. Create audience segments and target the right people with the right messaging: With advanced
segmentation and targeting capabilities, Monetate allows you to segment messaging and content
to different customers based on behavioural data. By identifying user actions and intentions on your
digital property, you can trigger messages and encourage engagement and conversion at the right
moment—for example, messages can be sent automatically to first-time users for discount coupons,
special offers can be presented to users about to exit the website/app, or product recommendations
and urgency messages can be sent via email to users who abandoned their cart.
Source: Monetate
3. Personalise at scale: Use out-of-the-box, in-session and behavioural data, or pull in your own
first or third-party datasets to feed into Monetate’s decisioning engine—enabling scalable 1:1
personalisation. You can deliver omnichannel personalisation online, in-store, as well as at call
centres. The tool’s AI algorithms constantly learn through every new interaction alongside learning
from historical data, allowing you to understand your customers better with time. This can help
create strategies to drive relationships and loyalty.
4. Get Advanced Merchandising features: You can deliver recommendations using manually
curated or algorithmically driven recommendations across even the most complex product
catalogues. Monetate’s product badges help you highlight relevant messages and target visitors
dynamically based on what audience segments they belong to. Scale, automate, and test
recommendations and badging strategies while staying in control.
5. Create a unified customer profile: The tool helps you gather and evaluate customer data from
third-party sources, your own CDP/DMP, and its own database. This helps you create a unified
customer profile from across different channels, helps you understand a visitor better, and allows
you to give seamless experience to each user on different channels.
6. Get in-depth analytics and audience insights: Real-time analytics and behavioural insights provide
users with control over experiences whilst also assisting with ideation, iteration and helping to
develop a deeper understanding of your customers. Learn exactly what works and why, so that you
can build customer intelligence and discover new audience segments.
Source: Monetate
7. Access data from different platforms: Monetate is an open-access software in which you can
pool in data from different databases such as MySQL, Amazon Redshift, or business intelligence
platforms. Native integration is possible with popular tools such as Google Analytics and Adobe
Analytics. With all this, the tool can give you in-depth data evaluation and reports that can power
your business strategies and growth.
Integrations:
Monetate’s open architecture allows API calls to be set up with a huge swathe of technologies. In
addition, out-of-the-box integrations exist with Google Analytics, Contentsquare, Tealium, Adobe
Analytics, Decibel Insight, Clicktale, SessionCam, Segment, mParticle, Contentstack, and Google Ads.
Updates coming in H1 2020
• Audience Discovery: Recognising a long-standing industry challenge, this product release will
empower platform users to understand their segments, and how they should be targeting them.
The feature will use machine learning to cluster audiences based on customer behaviour and value.
These audiences will then be available as targets to be included in experiences. Long-term, the
28
goal is for Audience Discovery to incorporate customer behavioural data from other data sources to
improve the audience creation process (including lifetime customer value) and automatically deliver
relevant experiences to each audience in a programmatic manner.
• Advanced Recommendations: Building on Monetate’s existing Intelligent Recommendations
function, the platform will soon include open-time product recommendations for email, slotting
capabilities, and an expanded library of algorithms and recommendation strategies.
• Personalised Search: Users of the platform will soon have the tools to leverage Monetate’s existing
easy-to-use interface, and powerful decisioning engine to deliver hyper relevant Personalised
Site Search and Predictive Visual Search. Personalised Category Pages will be released alongside
Personalised Search, allowing in-session behaviour to drive personalised listing page results by
dynamically sporting the product grid for each visitor.
What will this platform cost you?
Monetate price based on traffic volumes, making the solution a viable option for both modest and
leading brands. Contact the company to know more about their pricing plans.

experience CTR by 66.8%. Further insights revealed that certain types of recipes are popular on
certain days of the week.
Testimonial:
“[When trying to decide which contextual factors would be most influential in determining the
best recipe to display to each customer] Monetate suggested that Individual Fit Experiences
would be the perfect way to test this. Instead of us trying to decide which customer should see
which type of recipe, why not let the machine decide?... We still feel like we’ve only just tapped
into the benefits that Monetate can bring. We’d like to do a lot more… We want to be able to
provide our customers with relevant content and product suggestions in the same way they
could ask a partner in store for advice. We can deliver some of that personal feeling with the
quality of our content and products, but AI allows us to scale up and automate so that we can
give more of our customers that richer experience. And Monetate is the partner that we trust to
help us achieve that.”
Jane Godfrey, Digital Optimisation Manager, Waitrose

“Monetate was about empowering us to do our own changes, using the resources we have
combined with the power of the platform… Within our first four or five experiences with
Monetate we saw a huge incremental uplift in revenue of at least 15X ROI. [Server-side testing
capability of Monetate] gave us a huge amount of confidence to actually drive bigger, more
complex, and deeper experiences; even multi-page experiences that we never would have been
able to execute before without flicker or delay on big imagery changes.”

Optimizely: Experimentation,
Personalisation, and Feature-flagging
Optimizely is an advanced experimentation tool that allows you to not only conduct various
kinds of webpage experiments but also to control and test feature rollouts. It has 2 products:
Optimizely Web and Optimizely Full Stack.
What features does Optimizely have?
Source: Optimizely.com
1. Test and optimise your features, pages, and strategies: You can create A/B tests, multivariate
tests, as well as server-side tests. It supports single-page apps and dynamic websites with equal
ease. The tests can be created with an easy-to-use WYSIWYG editor. At the same time, you can
make use of strong APIs, custom codes, and extensions for more sophisticated changes. Some
features unique to Optimizely are:
a. With Exclusion Groups, you can even run multiple experiments on the same page.
b. Optimizely Performance Edge with its advanced Experiment Delivery Network allows you to run
multiple tests quickly.
c. Optimizely Full Stack allows you to conduct tests on multiple channels such as websites, mobile
apps, and messaging software.
d. You can use whitelisting to conduct quality checks on experiments by forcing specific users into
variations.
e. You can also manage experiments across development, staging, and production environments.
2. Create personalised user journeys: You can create advanced segments for users based on their
location, browser or device, referrals, campaigns, etc. Tests can be deployed to visitors based on
their traffic source, location, cookies, and several other attributes. Understanding your audiences and
segments and using the available data will allow you to personalise user experiences and journeys and
target the right audience with the right personalisation. Some features unique to Optimizely are:
a. You can also use interest-based targeting instead of basing it on rules; interest-based targeting is
also easier to set up and manage.
b. Adaptive Audiences tracks and aligns changes in consumer behaviours and interests, to enable
you to continue delivering relevant experiences to them.
3. Get complete control over feature releases: With Optimizely Rollouts, you can introduce new
features to limited audiences and test their functionality. You can test new features on a small
percentage of visitors or beta customers before releasing it on your website or app. This will allow
you to find errors, track performance, and see how your users receive the new features. If you find a
feature not doing well, you can withdraw it or update it in real-time without redeploying code.
Features of any channel—website, mobile app, conversational interface, backend logic—can be
managed with Rollouts. Having all your features in a single dashboard also makes them easy to
manage and modify. It also integrates with Jira for better visibility and collaboration.
4. Gather data extensively and assess them: The Optimizely dashboard tracks all KPIs and
conversion metrics and collects and analyses all event and user data. This allows you to understand
your users, how they interact with your website, and discover new conversion opportunities.
The Stats Engine uses sequential testing to remove waiting periods from testing environments—the
statistical significance of your experiments increases with more time and data, which means you
don’t have to wait a conventionally long time to find winners. It also corrects for multiple goals and
variations with false discovery rate control.
Source: Optimizely.com
5. Enjoy technical freedom: The SDKs are open source, which allows faster integration, easy
maintenance, low latency, and a simple interface. Optimizely supports a variety of most web,
mobile, and server-side languages, such as Python, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Node, PHP, Visual
Basic, Swift, or Android. Configuration—error logs, error handling, activity tracking, integrations,
dispatching, etc.—can be customised as per your needs. The architecture is scalable, and analytics
is done in real time. It can be integrated with Jira, and is secure and compliant with cyber and cloud
guidelines.

Oracle Maxymiser: User Research,
Testing, Personalisation, and Data
Management
Oracle’s Maxymiser is part of its marketing cloud that allows you to conduct split tests and
personalisation campaigns. You can deploy cross-device campaigns, manage customer data, and
analyse performance extensively.
What features does Maxymiser have?
1. Test all your hypothesis and let their results drive your strategies: Use heatmaps by Oracle Infinity
to find out how your users are interacting with your webpages, and then run A/B and multivariate
tests across various pages and customise them for the journeys of different segments of customers.
You can deploy multiple tests at the same time.
Source: Oracle.com Tutorials
2. Link all your customer data for an accurate picture of your customers: You can sync your
existing data, data in third-party tools, session data from Maxymiser, and/or data from Oracle Data
Management Platform to get a unified view of your customers. This data will feed into creation of
customer segments and deeper targeting that are most essential in personalisation activities. It
also helps you identify existing and new conversion opportunities across the transaction funnel.
Maxymiser can be integrated with your systems with just a single line of code.
3. Understand your users and personalise their experience on your site: By assessing all available
user and session data, you can create profiles—for individuals as well as segments—and understand
general market trends, as well as user intent, behaviour, and engagement with your website/app.
This allows you to create messaging and product/content recommendations relevant to each user/
user group and help reduce exit and bounce rate and cart abandonment and increase engagement
and conversions.
4. Let AI power your personalisation efforts: The use of machine learning algorithms ensures that
personalisation campaigns are constantly enhanced with fresh data, perspectives, and increasingly
accurate understanding of users. The AI can predict user behaviours based on previous and realtime data, which allows it to deliver the right messages and recommendations at a faster pace.
5. Enhance personalisation efforts for mobile apps as well: Maxymiser allows you to test and launch
personalisation campaigns for apps, and smartphone and tablets too. With accelerated campaign
deployment and real-time visual editing capabilities, ensure that mobile users get the experience
they expect at an expedited pace. You also don’t need to wait for app store approvals and
resubmissions.

Qubit: Experimentation and AI-driven
Personalisation for e-commerce
Qubit is a personalisation engine specifically for retail, travel and online gaming brands. The
company has 3 products; Qubit Start, Qubit Grow and Qubit Pro representing a product
stairway of increasing capability as customers build their personalisation strategy. Qubit Start is
the entry-level product where most begin their personalisation ‘journey’ and brings together
product recommendations, personalised content and product badging. As the capability to
do more advanced personalisation increases, Qubit Grow is used as the next step, bringing
in more dataset and functionality to take strategies to the next level. Once personalisation is
fully ingrained in an organisation, Qubit Pro comes into play, enabling collaboration across
merchandising, marketing, data science, IT, and optimisation teams.
What features does Qubit have?
1. Run and assess A/B tests for effective personalisation: Create variants of your landing pages for
experimentation with a visual drag-and-drop editor. Create and test pages for underperforming
visitor segments and improve their engagement with your brand. The testing tool by Qubit
has command line interface, server-side capabilities, and native integration with node package
manager. It uses a Bayesian statistics tool to measure the impact of the experiments and eliminate
the possibility of false positives.
Source: Qubit
2. Add personalisation modules that work: Add personalised features such as social proof, product
recommendation, surveys, and cart abandonment recovery. Use surveys and forms to seek
feedback from users for more in-depth understanding of user issues or wants on your website. With
the powerful and high-performing machine learning algorithms, each datapoint collected is put to
use in your personalisation efforts.
Get special Peak Season Personalisation solution that can handle the traffic and transactions of peak
shopping seasons such as Black Friday very well. Evaluate visitor behaviour and usage data on the
site as well as app and deliver relevant messages, such as welcome for a new visitor, first-order
coupon, recommendations for repeat customers based on past purchase history, etc. You can
access the Qubit data and personalisation with a simple API token.
3. Segment your customers right for best results: Create user segments with advanced filters and
conditions to ensure that the right kind of messaging reaches the right kind of audience. These
segments auto-update in case the customer behaviour or data changes in any way. Use Visitor Pulse
surveys to let customers tell you more accurately what segment they are best suited in.
4. Personalise across channels for a unified customer journey: Qubit is an open platform with
which you can deliver personalised messaging, recommendations, offers, or content for different
channels—web, mobile, emails in-store, ad servers, or call centres—on which users interact with
your brand.
5. Get in-depth insights and put your data to use: Get in-depth user data—both quantitative and
qualitative—through Qubit’s robust scripts and SDKs and use the insights gained from them to
optimise personalisation activities. You can also link third-party marketing tools or import historical
data available with you. Compare the results of your personalisation efforts against key metrics such
as revenue per visitor (RPV) and revenue per converter, and against success indicators such as email
subscription, basket addition, content view, etc.
Source: Qubit
6. Enjoy smooth running on the technical side: With low latency and real-time data-gathering, the
tool will give you results as quickly as you need it. It is an open platform, and therefore your data can
be streamed directly into it from your servers. The software is built to handle large-scale data and
simultaneous personalisation and testing activities. Real-time processing and actioning are enhanced
with simple structured data for events and in-depth validation according to pioneering industry schemas.

Symplify: Omnichannel Communication
and Conversion Suites
Symplify is the rebranded face of SiteGainer, after SiteGainer was acquired by Symplify
Technologies in November 2019. Symplify has 2 product suites: Communication and Conversion
(which is where SiteGainer has been amalgamated into). The Communication suite is a customer
lifecycle management tool and gives you access to 8 communication channels. The Conversion
suite has real-time A/B testing, user research, and conversion analytics.
What features does Symplify have?
1. Experiment with your webpages: You can conduct A/B tests on a variety of page elements, such
as headlines, content, layout, buttons, colours, CTAs, banners, contact detail display, images,
countdowns, animations, functionality, pricing, hover effects, steps in checkout, header and footer
content, recommendations, testimonials and reviews, trust, branding, payment methods, mobile
layout, font and sizes, among others.
Source: Symplify
2. Conduct user research with ease: With heatmaps, clickmaps, touchmaps, and scrollmaps offered
by the platform, you can see what problems your users find on your site, what they are attracted by,
what areas they pay no attention to, where they click, how far down a page they scroll, etc. You can
select which user segments you want to collect data from, choose how long you want the data to
be collected, and then wait for analytics to show you comprehensive and visual reports. This will
help you identify issues and proactively fix them.
3. Personalise your website for your visitors to drive engagement: You can personalise all kinds of
page elements using Symplify Conversion suite—what you need to do is define audience segments
to help categorise the users you would be targeting, create different pages or page elements for
each segment or group of users, conduct experiments to find out what elements/page designs
work and what don’t, and then deploy the personalised pages. Each page will be shown only to
the segment that particular version is meant for.
4. Create and test pop-ups and surveys to improve conversions: The tool has pop-up and survey
templates that can be launched directly on your website without needing the visitors to leave the
site. Pop-ups and surveys will help users interact more with the website and will help you get direct
feedback from them. You can also create your own designs from scratch using HTML codes. Both
pop-ups and surveys can also be tested and personalised for different visitor groups. The data on
user interaction with these pop-ups and surveys, test results, and analytics can be accessed from the
dashboard.
5. Communicate with your users easily: The Symplify Communication suite allows you to interact
with your users through 8 channels: email, SMS, web push notifications, app push notifications,
print media articles, social media, voice communication, and dynamic webpages. All of these can
be managed from a single editor, making the whole process hassle-free.
6. Manage customer lifecycles conveniently: You can create user journeys with a drag-and-drop
editor. You can assign any event as a trigger, automatically optimise the journeys as data changes,
switch channels seamlessly, and react to alternative outcomes. You can import historical data into
the suite and combine it with real-time data gathering and analysis to form robust and precise
segments. These user groups can be created and modified as per your needs with the help of a
custom audience builder. The segmentation can be applied with one click across all channels. You
can get a 360°view of your customers to help you understand your users and their needs better.

Aftonbladet, Mr. Green, and Babyshop.com.
“My first wow moment was when I saw the impact A/B testing had on our figures and business
growth. A couple of tests later we could actually measure and see the great payoff from the A/B
tests. It is an amazing way to increase your online revenue. This is a must for everyone that wants
to grow their online business for real.”
Jonatan Johansson, Growth Manager and CRO-specialist, NA-KD.com
“Together with Symplify Conversion we’ve managed to have a steady flow of tests every month.
This was always our goal, but we’ve seen a bigger amount of winning tests than we could have
hoped for. (...) The success management team at Symplify Conversion was of huge help in the
acceleration of our test programme.”
Pelle Bergqvist, Head of Design, CDON

“Symplify Conversion is a great tool for sites who depend on A/B testing to learn how to improve
their products. If you as I work in an online organisation where you want to experiment and also
need to prioritise how to spend development resources their support offering where they help
you set up the experiments you want is great.”
Knut Sorli, Careerbuilder
“We needed a scalable conversion rate optimisation tool which came with a close relation to
the developers in terms of new integrations and features to fit the needs of our clients. Symplify
Conversion was the perfect choice for us, and they’re simply the best in the industry.”
Rasmus Christensen, Iprospect

VWO: Experience Optimisation
and Growth
The VWO Experience Optimization and Growth Platform has capabilities for webpage testing,
insights, full-stack feature management, visitor engagement, and growth management. You
can purchase each capability separately or buy them in combinations to make the most of the
data and intelligence you’re gathering. The software can cater to small businesses as well as
enterprises. The company also offers CRO services.
What features does VWO have?
1. Deploy widgets for better conversions: Widgets such as pop-ups and banners with discount
coupons at exit and welcome mats with special offers have been proven as conversion optimisers.
The VWO widget template library gives you access to a variety of widgets you can deploy on your
site/app, without any code. They can be modified and customised as per your needs using the
VWO Visual Editor. They can be deployed based on user attributes and on-page behaviour and
targeted and personalised based on audience segments.
2. Conduct user research: With heatmaps, scrollmaps, clickmaps, and session recordings, you can
see how visitors interact with your webpages and forms. You can see what they’re looking at on a
page/form, where their mouse is moving, how much of a page they’re scrolling down to, where
they are clicking, how much of a form they’re filling, at what point of a form users experienced
frustration or hesitation, etc. This helps you understand what page elements the visitors find
interesting and what they are not attracted to. Couple this with insights from tests to create
strategies that actually work for your business.
Source: VWO
3. Create and run tests easily: Create A/B tests, Multivariate tests, and Split URL tests across devices
and domains. The visual editor allows you to create and modify pages and page elements without
needing the help of developers. At the same time, you can make advanced code changes in
HTML, CSS, or JavaScript using the advanced code editor. You also get to undo your changes as
many times as necessary, and preview and QA the tests on different browsers and devices before
launching them. Some features unique to VWO are:
a. With VWO Full Stack, you can conduct enterprise-grade server-side tests, complex tests
involving algorithms and recommendation engines, and experiments on multiple channels such
as native apps, IoT devices, and beacons as well.
b. The server-side tests give zero flickering and negligible latency with the VWO Asynchronous
Smartcode.
c. For multivariate tests, you don’t even have to manually create multiple pages with different
combinations of elements that you want to test out: the tool will automatically create multiple
versions of the page for you to compare and decide. You can even conduct multiple tests on the
same page simultaneously, and schedule tests and campaigns in advance.
4. Customise your tests: Add pre-defined hypotheses to the tests to set expectations and compare
the results of the tests against them. You can add goals—specific to your campaign or one of your
existing conversion goals—to validate the test results against. Run numerous tests simultaneously
and define how much traffic you want each of them to be assigned with.
For multivariate tests, the tool will prioritise the winning combinations and drive more traffic
towards it automatically. You can also link users’ on-page behaviours and audience segments to the
tests to decide what types of users get to see what variations. Smart Notifications will alert you to
notable results, insights, and recommendations for the tests. Use the built-in Duration Calculator to
determine how long you should run the tests to reach results aligned with the goals you have set.
5. Get insightful reports on your tests: VWO uses Frequentist testing methodology with Sidak
correction for multivariates, which ensures that winning combinations are found with minimum false
positives and error margin. The A/B and split tests run on Bayesian statistics.
Advanced reporting capabilities of SmartStats allow you to see how the tests are performing, the
conversion rate differences in each variation, and the range in which your conversion rate lies, all
without waiting to reach statistical significance. You can track numerous metrics to determine what
impact the tests are having on the entire funnel and generate the reports necessary for all kinds of
data analysis that can be done both online and offline through downloadable reports.
For multivariate tests, you can see detailed performance and conversion rate differences for all
combinations and element changes. It gives you intelligent insights based on your business needs.
6. Customise your A/B test reports with the new dashboard: The A/B testing report interface was
recently overhauled, and now you can customise the report dashboard as you need. The features
added include:
a. Filters: This is available at the top of the report. Filter by date range or a visitor segment, and all
the goals, graphs, and compared goals will be filtered.
b. Notifications: Get notifications of the errors with a variation or goal tracking and about a winner
or a smart decision in tests.
c. Stats table: The Stats table now shows the median value for the expected conversion rate,
expected revenue per visitor, improvement, and expected revenue per conversion.
d. Graphs: A completely new graph—Probability Density—now shows the different probabilities of
conversion rates for all variations of the test. This graph will help visualise the 99-percentile range
52
of the conversion rate and compare how close or far apart your variations are.
e. Compare goals: You can now compare test performance for multiple goals in a single view. You
can add up to 5 goals in one view.
Source: VWO
7. Get insights on your website: VWO Insights is an in-depth analytics dashboard. Funnels allow
you to see where in their journey visitors are leaving your website. Once you know where the
conversion leakage is occurring, watch audience interactions through heatmaps and session
recordings to figure out why the drop-offs are happening. You can also add on-page survey and
form widgets to seek direct feedback from users. All your testing data and reports are also stored on
VWO Insights.
8. Segment your users and target them with the right tests and personalisations: User segments
allow you to separate your site visitors into groups that you can target with specific messaging or
custom pages. You can either create your own audience segments or use VWO’s 20 pre-defined
ones. You can create and link multiple segments together.
For example, you could have segments by location, browser type, language, users arriving on your
page through ad campaigns or other referring sites, those who are new to your site or are returning
for the second, third or nth time, the amount of time they spend on your site, etc. Now you can
create complex segments for targeted messaging by combining visitor segments that come to your
site from the UK via an ad campaign for a specific product, spend 1 minute on your site, and are
showing the intent to exit.
53
9. Reach out to your users offline beyond email marketing: With VWO Engage (earlier known as
PushCrew, you can use nudge marketing strategies to drive engagement and build a relationship
beyond the webpage with your users. Engage includes web push notifications and Facebook
Messenger. You can create the push notifications in just a few steps. Facebook Messenger allows
you to connect with customers at a personal level, which allows you to run personalised campaigns
for cart abandonment, browse abandonment, offers and discounts, new product showcasing,
retargeting, and customer retention, all without spending big on advertisements.
10.Uncover usability issues and learn how to fix them: You can connect with your users and the
VWO expert community to get usability reviews and tips on how to improve your conversions
through persuasive and engaging design, interface, and user experience.
11.Use linked tools to record your ideas and learnings: VWO Plan is a centralised storehouse of
all your data, insights, notes, ideas, and comments that can be accessed by all authorised users
and allows you to effectively manage your experimentation roadmap. The VWO Chrome Plugin
extension allows you to download heatmaps and add your notes about any test, recordings, or
reports to the common repository. This will allow your team to collaborate and access everything
about the platform and analytics. All important learnings and results of tests can be recorded
through the VWO Program Management Capability. The Kanban board gives you an overview of
your hypotheses and testing pipeline, completed and upcoming tests, and test opportunities.
12.Capture entire journeys & not just isolated sessions: A new feature, VWO Visitor Profiles
empower revenue teams to stitch multiple sessions of a user together for a holistic dive into
the user’s journey with your digital properties. These sessions are available as a part of Session
Recordings under VWO Insights. Visitor Profiles have multiple use cases—customer support teams
can look into a disgruntled customer’s journey, sales representatives can look at a high value lead’s
trail on your domain, etc.
13.Better conversions for time-sensitive events: With VWO releasing Multi Armed Bandit (MAB),
e-tailers who do not have the luxury to wait for statistical significance and want to maximise
conversions now have an instrument to do so. MAB allocates traffic dynamically to variations
tending to draw higher conversions so that businesses can sacrifice test result purity in favour of
better conversions for a short-term window. A good example of this scenario is when a mobile
brand runs a launch flash sale for three days for their next handset: the objective of their marketing
team is to maximise conversions in this short window and not gun for statistical significance.
Integrations:

Joomla, ComScore, Clicktale, Tealium, Kissmetrics, Mixpanel, Heap, CallTrackingMetrics, Clicky,

VWO case studies
Client: Ubisoft
Industry: Gaming
Product: Structured Conversion Rate Optimization, A/B Testing, VWO Platform, and VWO Services
Goals and Results:
• Improvement in lead generation and conversions on the ‘Buy Now’ page: Visitor data was collected
using heatmaps, scrollmaps, clickmaps and surveys. The data was analysed to build a strong
hypothesis for testing. The hypothesis was to reduce the up and down scroll and simplify the
entire buying process. After data collation, the VWO Services team suggested a complete design
overhaul for For Honor’s ‘Buy Now’ page and constructed an A/B test based on the new design,
using VWO. The test was run during the holiday season (October-December 2017), when the traffic
was 60% higher than the usual. Comparison of the test data between the old and the new layouts
on the VWO platform demonstrated that the redesigned version increased the lead generation rate
by 12% (from 38% to 50% conversions).
Testimonial:
“We ran a series of A/B tests based on the data we gathered by using Heatmaps, Scrollmaps
and Surveys available on the VWO Platform. It helped us to identify key elements on our
websites that needed a deeper look.”
Jenny Hughes, Digital Marketing, Ubisoft
59
Client: Best Choice Products (BCP)
Industry: e-commerce
Product: A/B Testing and VWO Platform
Goals and Results:
• Improving conversions with Search Bar A/B Testing: On assessing data, BCP found that of the 50%
mobile traffic they were getting, users who looked for products using the search icon in the header
were converting 60% higher than others. They hypothesised that making the search bar more
visible would improve user penetration into the website and drive conversions up. A larger and
more central search bar was tested for mobile users for 1 week. In that short timeframe, the variation
demonstrated a conversion uplift of 30% and a revenue increase of 0.1%.
Testimonials:
“We are constantly iterating our designs in tandem with user insights. Earlier we weren’t
checking how these releases were impacting our conversion rate, revenue, and other metrics
beyond GA data. We were using a different tool that didn’t offer A/B Testing capabilities. We
realised that we were collecting data, but weren’t acting on it. That’s how we started looking
for an all-inclusive platform that provides A/B testing, heatmaps, scrollmaps, surveys—and we
came across VWO.”
Kelly Klopfer, UX Design Manager, Best Choice Products
“There’s so much one can do with A/B testing, the possibilities are endless! Experimentation
has become the new go-to-market strategy for BCP. We generate ideas by looking at data from
VWO & GA and explore design solutions. Then, we compare them with competitor designs and
discuss them with the development and management team before moving forward with the
campaign.”
Alexandra Diaz, UX Designer, Best Choice Products

Webtrends Optimize: In-depth Testing
and Personalisation
Webtrends Optimize was one of the original CRO platforms in the market, allowing companies
to achieve data-driven growth since 2000. The platform has grown significantly since then, and
even more rapidly so since its acquisition and relocation to the UK in August 2018. The company
offers a ‘self-service’ SaaS solution, a fully managed service, as well as flexible support and service
packages, allowing you to build a tailor-made solution to support your specific business needs.
What features does Webtrends Optimize have?
1. Access advanced testing capabilities: With Webtrends Optimize, you can create A/B tests, split
tests, and multivariate tests, and experiment on both client-side and server-side. You can also
optimise for both desktop and mobile.
2. WYSIWYG Visual Editor to make test creation and modification simple: The Visual Editor allows
you to create and edit pages without the need to understand coding. For developers, there is also
an Advanced Editor that enables more sophisticated modifications with a guided process which
allows for custom scripts.
3. Use CRO and personalisation tools to enhance customer experiences: The platform also
helps you personalise your messaging for your customers and target the right user with the right
message. You can use Webtrends Optimize to create additional marketing tools such as welcome
messages & hello bars, exit intent overlays, personalised product recommendations, on-site
retargeting, social proofing, urgency messaging such as stock availability figures and time limits,
funnel optimisation, site search optimisation, form optimisation, and on-site surveys.
Source: Webtrends Optimize
4. Target the right kinds of users with powerful segmentation capabilities: Using the Visual Editor
you can simply ‘drag and drop’ parameters to create audience segments that you wish to target
through your experiments, including by device, campaign, data layer attributes, cookies, on-site
behaviour, and perhaps the most powerful geotargeting engine, allowing you to target all the way
down to specific longitude and latitudes.
5. Get analytical overviews and detailed reports in one place: The intuitive dashboard allows you
to centrally collate and manage all your testing and performance data and interrogate the results.
You can track the progress of your experiments visually without getting lost in numbers. You can
manage and assign tests, targets, segments, and locations, and manage data imports, exports, and
host media assets on the CDN.
The built-in reporting tool allows you to deep-dive into the performance of all captured metrics
and discover the chance to beat control and statistical significance to help guide direction and
conclusions. For multivariate tests, the tool has the added ability to understand which category
of change drives the biggest impact. The non-binomial calculations (Average Order Value, Units
per transaction, etc.) also come with a ‘Chance to Beat Control and Significance’ option, so you
not only understand direction but validity too. The advanced statistical modelling ensures that the
results achieved are accurate, faster, and use less traffic.
Source: Webtrends Optimize
6. Get access to a robust technology: The platform has web or server-side experimentation
capabilities, mobile SDKs and REST APIs, and many third-party integrations. You will be able
to run an unlimited number of tests, targets, projects, experiments, and there’s no limit on the
number of users or goals. Webtrends Optimize constantly updates their offering with new features,
enhancements and integrations.

feature-set gives you access to all the standard testing and targeting solutions you would expect,
as well as added CRO and personalisation value features. etc. all as standard. Any additional
functionality is provided with no additional charges either within the contract period or at renewal,

Bunting: Personalisation with A/B Testing
and AI Capabilities
Bunting offers 4 products: ShopWith to acquire referral traffic, Shopcast for live video casting
on website, LiveChat to support your customers better, and Personalize to convert and engage
visitors. We shall look only at its personalisation tool.
What features does Bunting have?
1. Let AI make the right recommendations to users: Bunting’s AI scans through all available user
data to recommend the right products to the right user group. Recommendations can be added
anywhere on the website: homepage, category or product pages, search and error pages,
or shopping cart. You can recommend products on emailers as well, based on purchase and
browsing history.
2. Connect with users where they are: Instead of disconnected experiences, let users enjoy a unified
omnichannel journey on whichever media they’re interacting with you. Create seamless campaigns
with a simple visual editor, personalise the messaging for more than 100 types of user targeting
options.
3. Show personalised social proof and urgency messaging: Create urgency with messages such
as “Only 1 left in stock” or “Order in the next 12 minutes to get this price” and increase the allure
of the product with social proofing such as “25 others are looking at this product now”. All these
messages can be personalised based on what action the customer is performing (or about to
perform) on your site, at what stage of the purchase journey they are in, where they dropped off and
exited the site, etc.
4. Reduce cart abandonments with exit messaging: With personalised discounts, special offers,
or coupons, nudge your about-to-exit customers into completing the transaction instead of
abandoning it. Send emails with cart reminders and offers to increase engagement and lure your
audience back.
5. Split test recommendations and messaging to ensure accuracy: AI-suggested personalised
product recommendations, targeted messages, as well as social proofing, urgency, cart
abandonment, and exit messaging can be split-tested to find winning combination/s and
automatically deploy them if required. The experiments can be created and launched quickly with a
simple editing interface, and the performance results are tracked meticulously.
6. Enjoy multi-language support: Personalize can work with 30 languages and will work on
multilingual websites as well. This means that even if your website is available in different countries
in different languages, the personalisation process will not be affected.
Integrations:
Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, Shopware, OpenCart, ZenCart, and PrestaShop, among others.

Campaigner: Email Marketing
Automation
Campaigner is an email marketing platform with the following email-centric capabilities:
automation, deliverability, segmentation, API, dynamic content, visual editor, and A/B split testing.
What features does Campaigner have?
1. Test your emails before sending them out: You can try out different designs, subject lines,
content, sender emails/names, sending days and times, and CTAs to make sure that you’re sending
out an email that has the highest chance of being opened or acted upon. The experiments can be
conducted right from your editor/creator without having to use a different interface.
2. Separate your contacts based on their profile: Email segmentation allows you to divide your
customers into buckets based on their profile. This means that you can create groups such as
existing users from the UK who have been actively engaging with the brand but not making enough
purchases, new users from the US who have made large purchases but are not interacting with the
brand, etc. With such specific segmentation, you can send targeted emails to nurture each type of
customer and ensure higher rate of email opening and conversion from your email campaigns. You
can create a targeted recipient list manually with advanced filtering options.
3. Send dynamic, personalised content: Personalise your emails for each individual customer with
accurate insights about their demographic information, location, buying behaviour, and interaction
with the brand. You can customise the content, language, messaging, offers and promotions,
among other things.
4. Link emails to social media: You can share your emails on social media by linking profiles and
choose what kind of email or messaging you want delivered on what channel.
Source: Campaigner.com
5. Automate your email campaigns: You can automate your email campaigns based on
segmentation, by setting up visual workflows that are easy to understand, however complex they
may be. Set up conditions and filters to ensure that the workflows do not need manual intervention.
Schedule evergreen campaigns to recur regularly so that you don’t have to keep track of each of
them. You can also send trigger-emails based on the latest user activity (for example, a nudge to
proceed to payment if a person exits the website after adding something to cart).
6. Create and edit your email campaigns with visual editor: With over 100 optimised templates,
drag-and-drop interface, and device-responsive designs, create visually satisfying and highconverting emails. You can also import your own template or build one from scratch. You can also
edit your images on the tool to suit the email designs.
7. Get full insights of your email marketing efforts: The tool gives you detailed reports and a mine of
insights on A/B tests, contact lists, conversions, workflows, location-wise performance, and autoresponse emails.
8. Easily link your site with the tool: The platform can be linked easily to Google Analytics, Adobe
Analytics, Facebook Audience Builder, Shopify, Magento, SurveryTown, and PieSync, among others.
What will this platform cost you?
Campaigner has 3 types of packages—Starter, Essential, and Advanced, for general businesses and
e-commerce businesses each. The details are given in the tables below.

What Campaigner users say
The company claims to have had over 100,000 clients in the last 21 years, including WWF, UPS, nvidia,
and Harvard University.
“A/B split testing had an immediate impact on our email marketing by allowing us to easily test
a variety of components — subject lines, graphics, distribution times, calls to action — prior to
selecting our final campaign.”
Robin Brooks, Marketing and PR Manager at Kensington Tours
“With Campaigner Email it is anything but difficult to plan and convey high volume messages
effortlessly. Each bulletin we send to our clients contains a “share bar”. This share bar
empowers beneficiaries of our advertising messages to impart our email to their contacts on
informal communication stages like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+. Prompting
more individuals becoming more acquainted with about our administrations, while giving us
a medium to expand our email membership list. The measure of time spared in making email
campaigns is astounding and we have seen spikes in deals utilising Campaigner Email since
we’re ready to connect with potential purchasers and customers that we would some way or
another not have the capacity to reach.”

Clickthroo: Landing Page Testing
and Marketing
Clickthroo is a comprehensive landing page marketing platform that allows you to not just create
landing pages but also test them, constantly optimise them, and personalise them for your audiences.
What features does Clickthroo have?
1. Create and edit landing pages easily with the WYSIWYG landing page builder: You don’t need
to know coding to create landing pages with Clickthroo. The easy interface, functions, more than
100 templates, and editable elements allow you to build attractive pages, make as many changes
as you need, and create variations for testing. It is browser-based, uses simple drag-and-drop
elements, and comes with an easy form creator.
2. Automate your website’s optimisation: The tool comes with A/B Testing and Auto-Optimisation
Engine with which you can control your experiments and campaigns or automate them. You can
test against any number of landing page and page element variations and set up experiments
by whatever parameter or combinations of parameters you need to—location, device, browser,
operating systems, keywords, source of traffic, referrals, or visitor behaviour on your site. You can
import variants into campaigns for tracking and monitor the performance of several links on the
same page. If you do not want to spend time manually tracking and optimising elements, you can
set rules on the tool about what goals you want to improve.
3. Get better conversions by segmenting visitors and offering them the right page at the right time:
You can create traffic filter segments to make sure that each type of visitor sees the landing page that
is the most useful to them. The segments available include country, traffic source, referrals, keywords,
device, operating system, browser, day of the week, and time, among others. This will ensure that
your website’s visitors get the most relevant content, leading to higher conversions. You can generate
reports for each segment you create and identify how best to target each segment.
Source: Clickthroo.com
4. Get actionable insights from the Reporting Suite: You can create and download custom reports
as per your requirement—whether you need to see campaign-wise stats, ROI reports, trends, or
filtered as per various segments. You can also track the progress of your campaigns in real time and
watch your visitors’ behaviours on your site as they happen.
5. Set up campaigns in minutes: Clickthroo’s campaign creation wizard is easy to set up and intuitive
to use. You can choose what you want to optimise and set up custom conversion and ROI goals.
What will this platform cost you?
This tool has a 14-day free trial, but you’ll have to input your payment details. However, you can cancel

Concurra: Website Interaction Analysis
and Conversion Rate Optimisation
Concurra aims to optimise conversions and interactions for websites through A/B testing,
analytics, and personalisation. The company also offers Managed Optimization and Training
Service (MOTS), a service to assist businesses and agencies with their optimisation efforts.
What features does Concurra have?
Source: Concurra.com
1. Track your users’ activity on your website: Watch what users do on your site by tracking their
views through livemaps, heatmaps, hovermaps, and scrollmaps. You can also watch individual user
sessions and gain further insights on where people hesitated or got frustrated.
2. Run multivariate tests and create personalised campaigns: You can conduct multivariate page
experiments not only on your landing pages in whole or part, but also on the ideas you may have
for personalisation. Analytics also suggests what you need to test. With accurate data on the
experiments, you can decide winning designs and campaigns and increase your conversions.
3. Define your own conversion goals: You don’t have to go by traditional goals—select your own
goals easily and quickly through Concurra’s dynamic goal definer.
4. Get detailed analytics, the way you want to see it: You can get every shred of data gathered
either in visual representations or tabular format. You can filter and segment the data in whichever
way is the most helpful. The algorithm also sends you notifications on trends, unusual interactions,
traffic spikes or dips, unusual conversion touchpoint or entry/exit, etc., which means you don’t have
to analyse and find conclusions manually all the time.
5. Optimise your site and your teams through managed services: MOTS is not just about getting
your optimisation outsourced; it is about your team working together with the Concurra team. This
means that both your website and your teams will profit from the interaction.
What will this platform cost you?
Concurra has 4 packages: Observer, Observer Pro, Scientist, and a more affordable one for freelancers.
Given below are the pricing plans for small businesses. All the plans come with a free 7-day trial.

Conductrics V3: All Kinds of Testing + AIpowered Personalisation
Conductrics V3 is an optimisation platform that helps both developers and digital marketers.
It uses machine learning to improve user journey and allows you to test variations of your
webpages, and even has advanced server-side API capabilities.
What features does Conductrics V3 have?
1. Make changes with a visual and intuitive editor: Conductrics Express is easy to use, allows you
to change or adjust anything on the webpage, and the WYSIWYG editor comes as a browser
extension. You don’t even need to add scripts or tags to your website to make the edits; you’d
need to add a script only to go live.
2. Test any element of your site: This platform allows you to A/B test content, UI and UX, banners,
campaigns, and back-end changes for both web (desktop and mobile versions) and mobile apps.
3. Discover your audience and personalise pages for them with AI: The platform’s AI algorithms
analyse visitor behaviour and tell you what page variation to show to what kind of visitors. The AI
tracks user behaviour across multiple marketing channels and shows you the best experience you
can offer to each type of visitor. The AI is on a constant learning curve and updates the optimisation
options regularly through reinforcement learning. You can either let the AI do its job without
interference or switch off the automatic suggestions to just view AI recommendations and choose
which ones to implement and which to reject.
Source: Blog.conductrics.com
4. Get multi-channel API capabilities: The REST-style server-side API can be used anywhere in your
technology stack, and can be accessed from servers, in kiosks, webpages, or IoT products. The
JavaScript API, on the other hand, can be used in the browser and offers interactions with reduced
latency, more privacy to visitors, offline support, and no dependency on runtime.
5. Integrate smoothly and get actionable insights: Conductrics V3 can be integrated with Google
Analytics; its API Flowlets allow you to create ad-hoc filters and lightweight orchestration logic. Any
non-PII (Personally Identifiable Information) visitor flags you want included in reports can also be
incorporated into the tool’s machine learning.
6. Choose deployment and support levels: You can host the Conductrics Express and JavaScript
API tools either on your own servers for complete control, or let the company host it for you. You
could choose an exclusive single-tenant Conductrics environment or an on-premise version if your
company has firewall restrictions.
What will this platform cost you?
Conductrics has not disclosed pricing details on its website. Contact the company for more details.
What Conductrics users say
Top clients of Conductrics are Viekkaus, cbc.ca, Nginx, and Pfizer.

Convert Experiences: Website
Optimisation Through Testing and
Personalisation
Convert Experiences is Convert.com’s dynamic A/B testing tool that allows you to run different
types of experiments, get in-depth analytics, and personalise your site.
What features does Convert have?
1. Conduct whatever tests you want to: You can conduct A/B tests, split tests among multiple
pages, multivariate tests, and multi-page tests. The tests can be created with a simple WYSIWYG
editor that allows you to change images, text, CTA buttons, layout, HTML or CSS elements.
You could also use the JavaScript editor if that’s what you prefer. The tool runs the Frequentists
Two-Tailed Z Tests methodology and operates on Akamai CDN (content delivery network). It
uses SmartInsert for blink-free testing—this means that variation-switching takes just 200 to 300
milliseconds after the first load, and 10 to 50 milliseconds after that.
Source: Convert.com
2. Prioritise tests and run them at the right time: Compass, a beta tool available within the platform,
allows you to build strong theories, prioritise them through the PIE or ICE model, and deploy them
as A/B tests or split tests when they are ready for execution.
3. There’s no limit on your projects: You can create any number of experiments and work with
unlimited subdomains and accounts. The tool can take the load of a large number of tests at the
same time or overall.
4. Ensure you stay within the KPIs: The software allows you to set your own goals and limits. The
experiments will be stopped once they reach statistical significance, or at a specific deadline, or the
number of visitors you choose.
5. Segment your users and personalise: You can filter audiences into segments and tailor your pages
based on these segments.
6. Put your data to use: Linking your CRM, data management, or marketing platform with Convert
Experiences will give you access to DMP profiles that allows you to reach audiences with JavaScript
targeting while testing. This will allow you to create a holistic testing strategy and run more
successful experiments.
7. Get rich reports for a clearer picture: From overviews to granular data and pre-created reports
to filterable ones, you will have access to all the analysis and insights you need about your
experiments.
8. No need to sign in to your account every time you want to use the tool: With a secure API
token, you will be able to stay signed in to the software and work on any aspect of the platform
conveniently. Two-Factor Authentication ensures that your accounts are secure and well protected.
Integrations:
WordPress, Drupal, Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, 3dcart, Kissmetrics, Google Tag
Manager, Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, Mixpanel, Hotjar, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign,
Comscore, Zapier, Formstack, Content Square, Joomla, and Crazy Egg, among others.
What will this platform cost you?
You will get a 15-day free trial without having to input any credit card details. The software cost is given

“ConvertCart has proven to be a great partner for TheInsoleStore.com. Even after only a few
months’ time working with ConvertCart, we saw a notable increase in conversion rate and site
engagement, resulting in more site revenue generated and a larger audience for retention
marketing. The team at ConvertCart consistently provides thoughtful, relevant insights into
site performance and user behaviour, and they have been able to convert these insights into
worthwhile campaigns that they are able to present, implement, and launch quickly and
professionally. Our win rate for optimisation campaigns has been healthy, and we are certainly
pleased with the results we’ve seen from ConvertCart thus far.”
Austin Reid R., The Insole Store
“GetFPV.com has been working with ConvertCart for almost a year. The results have been
extremely impressive. We have seen significant improvement in revenue directly contributed
to ConvertCart. Their A/B testing, reporting and user interface are all excellent and allow us to
have high confidence in their business impact.”
Jeff Bloch, GetFPV
“ConvertCart has worked great for me. My website was already doing well, but they’ve
improved my conversion rate to upwards of 60% in a few months, resulting in tens of thousands
of extra dollars a month of revenue for us. They’re always thoughtful and see things that I
haven’t seen, despite my having spent thousands of hours on my site. They did 1 test that singlehandedly increased the conversion rate by about 25%. This was a very simple test that didn’t
require a big change on the page but got a big result. In the long run, the costs more than pay
for themselves.”

WHITE LABELLING OF
PRODUCTS
When products and services are made/done by one company and are sold/distributed by
another company under their brand name, it is known as white labelling. So basically, it’s like
outsourcing with re-branding or ghost-writing, but the action is on the user and not the provider.
That is, the company doing the reselling/distributing would be said to be white-labelling the
original’s products/services.
In the digital world, the terms for it include white label online marketing, white label digital
marketing, and reseller digital marketing. The reason there are several marketing agencies or
tools being white-labelled today is simple: not everyone can be an expert at everything.
Companies seeking to white label products and services do so because that makes it easier for
them to expand their portfolio of marketing offerings. They will be able to offer more products
and services without having to bear with any extra resource management or technological
support. They also don’t need to lose their focus at whatever their core competency is. At
the same time, they will be able to retain their reputation in the industry as an all-in-one digital
marketing service provider.
Companies offering products and services for white labelling do so primarily for 2 reasons—a)
they get access to a larger market and their products/services get more buyers, and b) they can
make more money when larger companies are using their products and services.
Strategic partnerships and supplementary relationships between companies in the same field
but offering linked but distinct products and services help both the involved parties grow.
Examples of companies offering white-label marketing services include SE Ranking for SEO
tools, Mention for media monitoring, Sendible for social media management, and Convertful for
website and conversion rate optimisation.

3. Target the right kind of users at the right time: Show widgets to users when they need to see it;
for example, show exit intent messaging when they are closing the browser tab, or show inactivity
time when you think the person has ignored the page for a certain amount of time, etc. Create rules,
conditions for showing messages, or sequence of actions as you require, based on behaviour,
source of visit, history of visit, the technology they’re using, geography, or other widgets and tools.
Define priorities in case targeting rules or campaigns overlap and ensure that multiple widgets are
not thrown at the visitor.
4. Use tests and data for effective behavioural analysis: Conduct A/B tests and get real-time as well
as comprehensive reports and insights you can actually use.
5. Agencies get extra privileges for optimal performance: Agency clients also get unlimited subaccounts to work on, ensuring that multiple clients are handled at the same time. They also get access
to white label products/services—dashboard, widgets, email notifications, and WordPress plugin.

What Convertful users say
This software package is used by companies such as Little Sizzle, Spending Hacker, and SIMEDIO.
“Convertful is the only marketing tool that really helps me to easily capture, interact and convert
visitors into clients. It is the tool that I recommend to my clients and the only one that I use in my
own websites for almost all marketing tasks.”
Javier Marcilla, Founder, NinjaSEO
“These are a very high-converting way to drive new email subscribers to your list. If you’re
looking for detailed functionality at a low price point, I suggest you look into Convertful.”
Neil Patel, Marketing Guru
“Our main goal for using Convertful was to have some non-intrusive and beautiful banners and
pop-ups that would match our branding and that would not annoy our customers, but still would
get us our leads… We absolutely love Convertful! With a website theme, it’s not always possible
to create forms/banners/pop-ups that you like. With Convertful it’s so easy to create a widget
that matches our website. We can customise everything, add our branding colours, fonts and
images. It’s as if the forms are part of our website theme. The widgets are non-intrusive, yet add
a beautiful and useful feature to our website.”
Ellen van Ham, LittleSizzle

Convertize: Customer-centric Testing and
Conversion Optimisation
Convertize is a website optimisation tool that comes with capabilities for A/B testing, Nudge
notifications, and Personalisation. The company also offers CRO services and paid onboarding
training for the tool if you require it.
What features does Convertize have?
1. Create and test pages without hassle: With a visual and intuitive SmartEditor, you can create new
split tests in minutes; you don’t need to know coding. To launch the tests, you just have to add a
small pixel in the source code of whichever page you want to experiment with.
2. No need to manually distribute traffic: With the Autopilot feature, visitor traffic is automatically
divided among your pages, with higher priority given to pages that are doing well.
3. Spend less time on deciding how long the experiments should run: With the predictive duration
feature, the tool estimates the number of days the experiment should be conducted for it to
reach statistical significance. It also has an in-built significance calculator that uses Bayesian and
Frequentist statistics to find significant results expeditiously.
4. Reduce page-load times when tests are running: Convertize’s Lightning Mode increases pageloading time 17.2x faster than other A/B testing tools, which can quicken the speed to as low as 13
milliseconds. This ensures that customer experience and search engine rankings are not affected
even when experiments are in progress on a page.
5. Other benefits of the software include: Split testing for URLs, targeting, segmentation, unlimited
websites and projects on which you can conduct tests, over 250 testing ideas and a detailed
checklist, and support from CRO experts.
6. Personalise content based on users’ traffic source and location: SmartPlugin is a widget that
allows you to modify the content on the page a visitor sees, depending on what traffic source/
referral they came from and what their location is. The plugin works on the theory of social
cognition, which proposes that people tend to engage better when they see people, places, or
things similar to themselves.
7. Use Nudge Notifications to increase engagement and conversions: Notifications based on
psychological principles allow you to engage your users better and increase conversions. These
nudge notifications include: Popularity Notification based on social proof, Order Soon Notification
based on urgency, Low Stock Notification based on scarcity, Free Delivery Notification based on the
pain of paying, Influencer Notification based on authority, and Custom Notifications based on your
product portfolio. These notifications are constantly updated through self-learning algorithms, which
means the more you keep the notifications going, the more relevant nudges each user will be shown.
Integrations:
Magento, WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Google Tag Manager, Mixpanel, PrestaShop, among others.
What will this platform cost you?
Convertize has Solo and Team plans, with costing for Team plans varying as per the number of visitors
per month. There’s a free trial for 14 days without any credit card info inputs, to help you decide
whether the tool is good enough for you.

“This is a must-have tool for modern performance marketing. I use a lot of tools and this one
rounds it all up within a simple and straight forward interface using only one line of code on the
actual site.”
Tobias Ockermüller, Founder of Tobistribe
“I primarily use Convertize for its A/B testing functions, across different scenarios. What I particularly
like is how easy it is to set up an experiment, and the visual representation of the results.”
Patricio Tarantino, Founder of MixAula

What Freshmarketer users say
Users of this software include Knose, UNICEF, LeadsMarket, Exotel, JLA, Uitzendbureau, and
Foremost Media.
“Freshmarketer has been integral for the success of many of our campaigns. It’s enabled us to
carry out extensive testing and gather insights very quickly, which we can then scale-up and roll
out easily. It’s very adaptive—allowing us to divert traffic, start A/B testing and begin tracking
engagement with minimal setup effort.”
Phillip Casey, Digital Marketing Specialist, UNICEF New Zealand
“Our primary use-case that we wanted to be addressed by Freshmarketer was personalisation.
But we were writing our own custom scripts to accomplish that. Eventually, we migrated to
Freshmarketer and it worked like a charm. The product totally has our recommendation.”
Sanjeeth R, Marketing Head, Exotel
“After my research, I quickly realised that Freshmarketer is the only non-enterprise level tool
that offers not only advanced CRO and personalisation features but also heatmapping, form
analytics, and screen recording. [With] Freshmarketer we saved a significant amount of money
whilst seriously increasing our capability.”
Daniel Trindade, Marketing Manager & Optimization Lead, JLA Group

Frosmo: Versatile Targeting and
Personalisation
Frosmo is an AI-based personalisation tool that helps create better user experience, customer
journeys, and conversion rates. It lets you create customisation rules, collect and sync customer
data, and improve your personalisation efforts on a daily basis.
What features does Frosmo have?
1. Create your own personalisation rules: You can define how you want to personalise your website
for users. Use advanced configuration options to define audiences, use ISP tracking or geolocation,
select channels, or integrate with other analytics tools. Frosmo’s JavaScript-based rule engine
deploys these rules in real time on the user’s browser. You need to create 4 key rules to get started
on website personalisation:
a. WHAT should be personalised—You can customise anything from text, banners, pop-ups,
images, navigation, CTAs, recommendations, search, and layout.
b. WHO should receive the experience—Create your target audience by setting up rules on how
to separate your visitors into groups. The same user can be in multiple segments, they can be
moved from one group to another or removed from segments when needed. Different segment
combinations can be created to attain different levels of personalisation for each set of users.
c. WHEN they should receive it—This is not just about a specific time of receiving personalised
experiences, but also about at what point of their journey a customer should receive
personalised messages or experiences. The criteria you enter can be contextual or sessionbased, such as what the user’s location or device is, at the time of placing an order, at the time of
closing the browser, etc.
d. WHERE they should receive a particular experience—This defines the positioning of
the personalised message on the webpage. If the website’s front-end is dynamic and
personalisation-optimised, then any element on the page can be customised, and consistency
can be achieved in where the users see personalisation campaigns.
2. Conduct experiments on your personalisation campaigns: You can create several variations
and run A/B/n testing for every personalisation option. You can either let Frosmo manage the
distribution of traffic among the variations or allow Frosmo to set it automatically. The tests are also
set on machine learning, which uses the multi-armed bandit feature to automatically manage and
adjust the distribution of traffic among variations depending on their performance.
3. Let the tool supplement your personalisation efforts: Frosmo does in-depth analytics of the
business impact of personalisation efforts and optimises the experience automatically. Its AI can
learn user behaviour and preferences over time and apply the gathered insights for further granular
personalisation, fine-tuning the rules you set. Frosmo’s React SDK also helps developers create
personalisation-aware front-ends, which guarantees performance and functionality.
4. Track all data and get in-depth analytics: Each personalisation campaign is monitored and
all datapoints are captured to give you rich insights not only on how the personalisations are
performing but also on how they are impacting your business and improving conversions. You can
also sync Frosmo with Google Analytics or Data Studio to customise your reports.

FunnelEnvy: Predictive Revenue
Optimisation
FunnelEnvy allows you to create 1:1 personalised campaigns and monitor and analyse metrics that
are the most important for your business. It is focused on revenue optimisation for your business
and also offers professional services.
What features does FunnelEnvy have?
1. Get AI-powered A/B testing capabilities: Let artificial intelligence algorithms decide which variant
of web experiments to show to what audience segment by matching the variation’s content with
user attributes and context. Predict and promote winners and save the time required to wait for
statistical significance.
2. Focus on revenue and business goals and increase conversions down the funnel: Optimise your
website based on KPIs that are business- and revenue-oriented and track them rather than dealing
with excessive data noise that give no insights. The AI algorithm looks at the primary and secondary
goals you’ve set and starts optimising your website for them. Each interaction and action teaches
the AI, improving its performance over time. Serve up personalised experiences for all users to
encourage them to move further down the conversion/sales funnel.
3. Get a robust CDP and segmentation engine: FunnelEnvy’s customer data platform collates
first-party data from connected data platforms and third-party data from other sources through API
and creates a single customer view. It analyses historical user data, tracks user behaviour in real
time, and gives you a comprehensive view of your customers. Separate them into segments with
similar attributes; one user can be in more than one cluster. This segmentation can be used in all
your marketing campaigns—website, email, chat, and analytics—and by AI for accurate targeting of
messages.
Integrations:
Google Optimize, Google Analytics, Facebook, Adobe Analytics, Optimizely, Convert.com,
Salesforce, Pardot, HubSpot, Marketo, Eloqua, Segment, Clearbit, Adroll, and others.
What will this platform cost you?
FunnelEnvy has 3 plans: Onsite, Down Funnel, and Omnichannel. All plans can be customised

Google Optimize: In-depth Testing,
Personalisation, and Analytics
Google Optimize allows you to conduct optimisation tests as well as personalise content and
products for your visitors. It comes in 2 varieties: Google Optimize and Google Optimize 360,
where the former is for small businesses and the latter for enterprises. It is a part of the Google
Marketing Platform, and links seamlessly with other Google digital marketing products such as
Analytics, and Ads.
What features does Google Optimize have?
1. Create advanced experiments with ease: You can create A/B/n tests, multivariate tests, split
URL tests, and server-side tests that are based on the Bayesian statistical method. Use the visual
WYSIWYG editor to create changes to your content, design, layout, and other page elements. You
can create tests for any device or channel and schedule the start and end time as well. You can also
make advanced changes using the raw HTML, JavaScript, and CSS code editor. With Optimize 360,
you can run a maximum of 100 tests at the same time.
2. Manage the experiments without hassle: The experiment activity log keeps a record of all the
changes made to the tests, such as what changes were made, when, and through which user
account. The diagnostics on the visual editor shows you any problems with the test before launch;
you can also preview your tests to see how they look on different devices and make sure everything
works as you want them to. You can also schedule tests by specifying start and end dates.
3. Personalise your testing experience: Make use of data from client-side, such as cookies, JavaScript
variable, data layer variables in your tag management protocol, and other activation events to
customise your page variations for your visitors. You can leverage the Analytics audience segments,
UTM or query parameters on your URLs, and other user attributes to make the personalisation more
relevant.
4. Get actionable insights and detailed reports: Integration with Google Analytics ensures
detailed data analytics and insights not only on your website but also on the performance of your
experiments and personalisation activities. You can check the results against different page variants
and compare them against the KPIs you need to monitor. These allow you to make strategy changes
and other business decisions quickly. The objectives you can configure are:
a. System objectives: Includes pageviews, session duration, bounce rate, number of transactions,
revenue, AdSense impressions, AdSense click-through rate, and AdSense revenue.
b. Google Analytics goals that are already configured or newly configured in your account.
c. Custom objectives: Includes event objectives (separate from pageviews) and pageviews
objectives.
d. Upgraded Experiment Objectives: This is only available for Optimize 360. This allows you to
set new objectives even after the test has started running.
Integrations:
Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google BigQuery, Google Cloud, Firebase, and AMP
What will this platform cost you?
Optimize is a free tool but Optimize 360 is paid. The plan details are given below, but you’ll have to

Google Optimize case studies
Client: Telia Norway
Industry: Telecommunications
Product used: Optimize
Goals and Results:
Improve UX for mobile users to improve conversions from mobile devices:
• Reduced size of the hero image on homepage led to a 19.3% conversion spike
• New CTA checkout message (instead of a generic one) led to a 20.5% decrease in bounce rate
• Display of monthly price instead of annual one led to a 94% increase in sales
Testimonial:
“With Optimize we’ve been able to quickly and easily set up site experiments. This has lowered
the threshold for testing even the smallest improvements to our site… We were able to analyse
our Optimize experiments with important metrics and values we were already monitoring in
Analytics. This made it easy for us to measure the impact of the experiment.”
Simen Petersen, Digital Business Developer & Project Lead, Telia Norway
Client: Spotify
Industry: Music
Product used: Optimize 360
112
Goals and Results:
Increase subscriptions for its premium product:
• Tests revealed that users in Germany were listening to audiobooks more than music, so using
integration with Google Ads campaigns, custom landing pages were created for users who
searched for audiobooks. Led to 24% rise in premium subscriptions in Germany
Testimonial:
“Optimize 360 gave us new possibilities and opportunities. We’ve improved how we localise
and personalise our site, and we’re tapping into new audiences that we wouldn’t have reached
before… with Optimize, we could have 20 or more tests running at the same time in different
countries, different landing pages, or different places on the Spotify.com domain.”

Intellimize: Intelligent Website
Personalisation
Intellimize optimises and automates personalisation efforts on your website—both mobile and
website versions—using artificial intelligence. It assesses the available user data and finds the
right combination of content to show to them in real time.
What features does Intellimize have?
1. Utilise machine learning for better personalisation: Intellimize AI analyses the user data available
with you/collected in real time and understands what they’re looking for or what actions they’re
likely to take. After that, it finds the most relevant content ideas to show to each unique visitor.
More traffic will be fed to the most popular or successful ideas, thereby increasing conversions and
revenues. The AI learns with every interaction and therefore optimises your website personalisation
efforts continuously.
2. Go beyond conventional A/B testing: Instead of conducting time-consuming A/B and
multivariate tests, this tool allows you to conduct various webpage experiments at the same time.
It uses AI to decide which variations are winning and optimises the performance by steadily killing
traffic to the variations that are not performing as per the KPIs and sending more traffic to the
successful variants.
3. Use visitor data to your advantage: The software takes into account all the historical and realtime data—demographic, firmographic, behavioural, and contextual—to understand a user and
intelligently serves up the most relevant content to them. You can also link it to third-party tools
that you use, to enrich the availability of data. You can even view how the AI makes personalisation
decisions and modify it if required.
4. Implement the tool easily: The software can be activated by adding a single line of code on your
webpage or a single API.
What will this platform cost you?
Request a demo from the company to find out more about the pricing details.
What Intellimize users say
Clients of this software include Stella & Dot, Looker, Drift, Bills.com, TigerChef, Perkville, LaserAway,
Talkdesk, Dermalogica, and Segment.
“Intellimize’s machine learning based optimisation delivered 5x ROI and drove more prospects
to our content, demo requests, and other web forms, which directly correlates to revenue. We
completed years of testing in just a few quarters, and then applied those insights across our
marketing channels to better engage prospects with more targeted messaging.”
Jen Grant, CMO, Looker
“[After using Intellimize] We saw a 52% increase in conversions on the shopping cart. We love
this because that’s new revenue.”
Meera Bhatia, Chief Operating Officer, Stella & Dot
“We tested 105 different ideas in 3 months. That is the equivalent of 3 years’ worth of A/B
testing. When you calculate it out, we tested 4.5 billion combinations of the page and we would
never have been able to do this ourselves [if not for Intellimize].”

be flexible and set more aggressive rules for triggering messages.”
Griffin Thall, CEO & Co-founder of Pura Vida Bracelets

Kameleoon: A/B Testing and AI-Driven
Personalisation
Kameleoon offers personalisation and A/B testing tools for website optimisation. It is an open
platform with powerful AI and segmentation capabilities that enrich your personalisation efforts.
What features does Kameleoon have?
1. Find what your users are looking for: Kameleoon’s AI is visitor-centric and real-time. A conversion
score—Kameleoon Conversion Score—is assigned to each visitor as per their on-site behaviour and
the focus is on finding the relation between the intentions of visitors when viewing/purchasing a
product and making a transaction or engaging with your brand.
2. Personalise in real time: Visitor data is evaluated as each visit happens, and not just historically. This
allows the AI to track user behaviour and understand visitor intent in real time, to segment users into
highly focused groups, to forecast how likely each user is to convert from visitor to customer and
dish out the personalisation each user or segment needs. You can personalise content, messaging,
browser, on-site merchandising, as well as email.
3. Automate your campaigns or create them manually: With its predictive algorithm Kameleoon
Predict, you can automate campaigns and targeting based on triggers and specific user behaviour/
interaction. Audience segmentation and targeting can also be automated. At the same time, both
campaign management and segmentation can be done manually as well.
4. Reach your visitor on multiple media: You can tailor-make experiences for your visitors whether
your users are engaging with you on web, mobile, tablet, apps, or email. With data-syncing
and common points of contact among channels, you can create a seamless journey instead of
fragmented ones for your users.
5. Create your own widgets or select from templates: Kameleoon has more than 40 widgets you
can use to embellish your campaigns. These widgets can be chosen from templates and modified
as you need.
6. Run A/B and multivariate tests on design and personalisation ideas: The graphic editor makes it
easy for you to make changes to your website’s design and layout to create tests. The collaborative
simulation mode allows you to view the changes as your user sees them, before publishing
or sending to test mode. You can test multiple variants of your pages at the same time and set
parameters on what audience segments or traffic percentage each variation should be shown. You
can also run tests on the server side and not just the client side. Detailed insights will be available on
each test to show you what’s working and what’s not.
7. Get robust architecture, technical ease, and scalability: This is an open platform and can be
accessed from client or server through APIs. The software just needs a line of JavaScript code less
than 40kb that loads in less than 70 milliseconds. There is no SQL Big Data architecture, tagging,
or cookie storage. ITP 2.3 is automatically managed, the technology is 100% flicker-free, and you
can link multiple domains and websites of your brand for comprehensive data analytics. Kameleoon
CDN has more than 100 relay points and your data is stored in European Data Centres that are
compliant with GDPR. The tool can be customised to your usage case, modified as per your
industry and specific business needs.
Integrations:
Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, Salesforce, Mailchimp, Hotjar, Kissmetrics, Tealium, Comscore,
Contentsquare, Mandrill, Clicktale, Emarsys, eTracker, Fasterize, Crazy Egg, Lengow, Advalo, Mailjet,
Segment, SmartFocus, Weborama, Zendesk Chat, and others.
What will this platform cost you?
Contact Kameleoon for details about plan and cost information.
What Kameleoon users say
The clients of this platform include Cdiscount, Adecco, Auchan, AXA, BNP Paribas Real Estate, Coca
Cola Europe, Decathlon, Corsair, Kia Motors, L’Oreal Paris, Lexus, Louis Vuitton, Michelin Tyres, and
Nespresso.
“After analysing our visitors’ behaviour, we realised that the conversion rate of new visitors could
be improved. Competitors are only a click away, so the objective was to retain visitors on our site
and to encourage them to buy immediately. Thanks to Kameleoon, we could quickly and easily
provide a dynamic, personalised welcome offer and thus see a 21% increase in conversions from
this target segment.”
Adrien Soulet, E-marketing Project Manager, allopneus.com
“50% of our turnover comes through our website. After analysing the user journey for late
bookers, we could see it needed work if we were to increase online bookings. Thanks to
Kameleoon we were able to test this hypothesis quickly and simply, and while we updated this
landing page multiple times per week as availability changed, it was simple to update the A/B
test at the same time.”
Amandine Huart, Merchandiser Marketing Project Manager, Belambra Clubs
“When we wanted to improve the user journey for our visitors, Kameleoon allowed us to quickly
and easily carry out A/B testing to differentiate making an online purchase from an in-store
reservation. By offering visitors a CTA and a clickable link, we were able to eliminate confusion
between the two actions. Clicks on ‘Add to cart’ increased by 2%, and the number of online
reservations for in-store purchase increased by 13%.”

Maxymizely: AI-powered Experimenting
and Conversion Optimisation
Maxymizely uses big data analytics and predictive modelling for constant conversion rate optimisation
and personalisation of your website. It has capabilities for visual and technical page editing, traffic
segmentation, page testing, machine learning, data analytics, and user analysis as well.
What features does Maxymizely have?
1. Machine learning shows you insights and helps you make decisions faster: The platform uses
a mix of matrix factorisation approaches that also takes into account information about visitors. It
analyses how different page attributes and content interact with each other, which in turn helps in
personalising pages for visitors. This is more insightful than conventional split testing and analysis.
Because the results are faster and real-time, you can execute page optimisation at a much faster
pace.
2. Page editor that can be used by both developers and non-developers: Even if you don’t know
the technical side of page creation, you will be able to use Maxymizely’s visual editor with ease. The
platform also has the option of deploying CSS and JavaScript Editors for developers/designers/
marketers who know the back-end work.
3. Segment traffic to get better results: With this platform, you can choose from more than 20 traffic
segmentation attributes to get more valuable and actionable data. You can segment traffic based
on browsers, operating systems, location, organic vs paid traffic, new vs returning visitors, etc.
4. Get both web and mobile app analytics: Detailed analytics—actions taken by users on your
pages, visitor behaviour, and funnel analysis, among others—will be available on the tool’s
dashboard, for your website as well as mobile app.
5. Get expert assistance and consultation: In case your company isn’t equipped to deal with testing
and optimisation processes, you can also hire Maxymizely’s expertise. The services available are for
analysis, design, development, creating and analysing A/B tests, and validation.
What will this platform cost you?
The platform comes with a free trial period of 14 days during which you don’t have to make any
payment commitments.

What Maxymizely users say
“The software has a fast response rate, and though I was using a multitude of variations, it
didn’t seem to clog. It uploads your website quickly and allows you to create variations with the
built-in visual editor. You can set goal actions for any element on your website, you can delete
elements, or move them around; you can adjust traffic settings and decide how much traffic
should be engaged in the experiment; segmenting the audience of visitors to be involved in the
experiment is easy and presents a myriad of parameters to choose from; I love that you can split
traffic among the variations (you can do that manually, or thorough the automated intelligent
conversion). I love that it has its own analytical system, and the reporting is sleek and presents
lots of parameters to filter by. Focusing on interdependencies between data variables helps to
uncover the most profitable audience.”

Naytev: Social Media Testing and
Personalisation
Naytev is a social media management and automation platform. It consolidates your paid and
organic workflows and gives you detailed analytics and suggestions. It also allows you to do A/B
testing and personalisation for your social media accounts.
What features does Naytev have?
1. Schedule and automate social media posting: With Naytev, you can schedule posts using a dragand-drop creator, for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. The scheduled posts
can be viewed, edited, or deleted, and complex rules of what to post when and how often, can
be defined. With different posting options, such as every 7 days, at optimal time every 7 days, at a
specific time, or during a specified content window, you can ensure the maximum impact on your
social media engagement.
Source: Naytev.com
2. Manage and test paid advertisements on Facebook and Instagram: Naytev tells you what your
paid social ROI would be, making it easier for you to decide whether to spend on ads across the
pages, or boost only top posts. You can conduct A/B tests on Facebook and Instagram ads as well.
The tool gives you actionable insights and suggestions, and lets you automatically share performance
changes with your team by defining performance triggers. Use Optimization Profiles to create pre-set
rule groups for frequently used promotion or test settings. You can create as many such rule groups as
you want. If needed, modifications can be done on these rules before applying them to a new post.
3. Experiment with post content and images for Facebook and Instagram: You can create A/B
tests for any kind of audience—existing or new followers, people who engage with you little or a
lot, etc. The tests can be as simple or as complicated as you need them to be, thanks to the granular
targeting options available. The software also automatically posts the winning messages within the
pre-sets of your content calendar.
4. Get detailed analytics: The tool tracks the performance of all your posts across different media
(Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest), in real time, and the generated reports
can be seen on the account dashboard. It gives you in-depth insights even on cross-media
performance. With advanced filtering options, create as many content displays as you want and
choose what content and metrics you want to see. The best part is that all of these analytical insights
can be had for free.
What will this platform cost you?
Please contact the company to know the details of the plans available and their cost. There is a nocommitment free trial for 14 days.
What Naytev users say
The clients of this software include A&E, Huffpost, Travelzoo, TechCrunch, Inc., Refinery29,
FourSquare, Clique, Kiplinger, and Vice.
“Naytev has helped all of our initiatives become more strategic. It shows us how we should
be packaging content for social distribution. Finding the creative that works in each test has
definitely impacted our ability to save money on tested campaigns. Initially, I was sceptical that
we would see such a big performance increase. Our content already does well on social and our
team is pretty savvy in knowing what our audience is looking for. However, Naytev has helped
us identify key insights to take back to the team and inform how we package certain types of
content. All publishers are struggling right now to maximise social efforts--the ability to test
through Naytev is putting us ahead of the game.”
Allie Mitchell, Paid Media Strategist, Clique
“The Facebook Post A/B testing and the ability to boost interactions and click-throughs by 100150% really stood out, especially in the changing environment for publishers. The trends we’ve
seen make reposting less effective than it used to be, so we really need to nail the packaging
the first time. It was kind of a no-brainer to use dark testing before we show content to our main
audience. If I blow it on something that we spent a lot of time on—I don’t get a second pass in a
time-sensitive window. The results that I’m able to show other people are also really helpful—I
have a lot more confidence that I’m doing everything I can to help our team’s content succeed.”

NextUser: Data Analytics and
Personalisation
NextUser allows you to collect, manage, and analyse user data, assess your website and find
conversion optimisation opportunities, predict user behaviour with AI, personalise your website
for your visitors, and automate your marketing campaigns.
What features does NextUser have?
1. Collect and evaluate visitor data: You can link NextUser with your proprietary or third-party
tools such as website, email service provider, CRM, DMP, analytics software, and other marketing
platforms to monitor both known and unknown users and their data. NextUser also has its own CDP
that specialises in data collection and can be used to orchestrate marketing campaigns. You can
also persuade anonymous users to make themselves known through NextUser. With a thorough
analysis of data, the tool will identify key opportunity areas for your business, which is put into a
report highlighting 15 to 20 workflows. You can also test different workflows to see what suits your
business the best and what gives better conversions.
2. Get 1:1 personalisation for your users: All the collected data is analysed and segmented, making
them ready to use for personalisation campaigns. You can deliver targeted messages on multiple
channels, make proactive content and product recommendations as per the user’s previous
purchases, browsing history, location, on-site behaviour, or other attributes. You can also conduct
A/B tests to figure out what workflows work better.
Source: Nextuser.com
3. Take advantage of IBM Watson-powered AI: NextUser has partnered with IBM Watson to use their
artificial intelligence. This AI—apart from understanding a user based on demographic, attribute,
behavioural, and real-time data—also gives you insights to the personality of your users, allows you
to capture the inherent inter-related patterns among user personalities and interests, and analyse
their writing styles on social media, blogs, or online reviews to understand their cognitive and
social characteristics. The software also uses Google Cloud Vision to help you understand brands,
images, context, and environment from images posted by users to improve market knowledge and
understand your brand perception.
4. Use predictive analytics for customer retention and conversion optimisation: NextUser uses AI
to help you forecast upcoming trends, purchase likelihood of customers, and understand customer
behaviour better. This in turn allows you to be prepared for future demand, create strategies for
on-site personalisation for high-value user groups and retention of at-risk segments, and cash in on
up-selling and cross-selling opportunities.
What will this platform cost you?

Omniconvert: Customer Journey
Optimisation for e-commerce Businesses
Omniconvert enables e-commerce companies to grow and become more customer centric. It has
tools for conversion, retention, feedback, and automation. It also offers managed CRO services.
What features does Omniconvert have?
1. Run experiments on multiple devices: You can conduct split tests on desktop, mobile, and tablet.
The tool also allows you to switch off tests for specific devices if you want so. The tests can be created
with a simple WYSIWYG editor which also has the option to edit website codes. More than one test
can be conducted at the same time. You can decide how much traffic should be allotted to each test
variant. It uses both Bayesian and Frequentist algorithms on its A/B and split tests, and the best part is
that you can choose which statistics you want to implement on your experiments—you can even run
both simultaneously, though there would be slight differences in results between them.
2. Segment your visitors for granular personalisation: The software has over 40 criteria for audience
segmentation, such as location, conversions, behaviour, UTM parameters, traffic source, and
many other customisable parameters. You can experiment with different combinations of these to
create audience groups that you would like to target with tailored versions of your website. Reveal,
Omniconvert’s customer intelligence software, uses RFM Analysis and RFM Segmentation to assess
historical data of users and give you actionable insights. Real-time data and third-party data are also
tracked, which means that you get a comprehensive view of each visitor. Based on this, you can
tailor webpages, overlays, and satisfaction surveys according to the past and on-site behaviour of
your visitors.
3. Deliver targeted messages based on behavioural triggers: For better customer retention and
prevention of site or cart abandonments, you can display targeted messages through web overlays
and surveys, based on 4 behavioural triggers: exit intent, page-load, scroll, and click. The available
overlays are: countdown times, discount coupons, download pop-up, personalised pop-up,
testimonials, and subscription overlay. Surveys can be administered in widget-form or pop-up form.
Overlays can be created from a library of over 100 editable templates. Survey has 8 types of answers
for you to choose from and the design can be customised to your requirements. You can show
the survey on single or multiple pages and can be displayed in several languages through instant
translation. You can also schedule experimentation around surveys and overlays.
4. Personalise overlays and surveys effectively: Even the text, images, CTA, and placement of the
overlays and surveys can be changed as per the segment the customer falls into. You can also use
multi-step overlays with branching logic surveys that make the visitors tell you what customisation
they want.
5. Get help from machine learning: Adapt is Omniconvert’s ML algorithm that uses over 500
datapoints to conduct 500-odd new automated experiments every 4 hours. The algorithm works
on 6 core principles:
a. Choice Reduction Search
129
b. Choice reduction Filters
c. Welcome Gateway
d. Special Offers
e. Social Proof
f. Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt Diminisher
6. Get actionable and insightful data: The software collects data, compares results, and provides
you with detailed reports and suggestions. This exercise can be done on your A/B tests, overlays,
surveys, and any other personalisation efforts. With Reveal, you can understand the profile of your
customer, monitor their relationship with the brand, nurture them through personalisation and
segment prioritisation, and retain them.
7. No expiry date on your data: Even the free version of the tool retains your data indefinitely, until
you tell them to do so.
Integrations:
Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Inspectlet, Mailchimp, GetResponse, Magento,
Shopify, and Zapier, among others.
What will this platform cost you?
Omniconvert has 2 plans: Platform and Enterprise. The cost of the Platform plan is based on the
number of views you intend to test every month. A free trial is available for 30 days without needing to
give your credit card details.

OptinMonster: Conversion
Optimisation Toolkit
OptinMonster is a suite of tools you can use for conversion rate optimisation. Through targeted
forms, pop-ups, and web overlays and the ability to test and personalise them, this platform helps
you get more subscribers, leads, and sales from your existing traffic.
What features does OptinMonster have?
1. Choose from a variety of campaign types: You can create the following kinds of campaigns to
optimise your conversions and leads:
a. In-line forms
b. Sidebar forms
c. Lightbox pop-up
d. Full-screen welcome mat
e. Floating bar
f. Slide-in scroll box
g. Content locker
h. Countdown timer
i. Coupon wheel opt-ins
Source: Optinmonster.com
2. Build campaigns easily using templates and intuitive editor: Using the drag-and-drop builder,
you can create attractive campaigns that help you increase subscriber base and leads. You can
create the pop-ups and overlays from scratch, or use one of the 65-odd templates from the library
to start and customise them—from background and design to text and messaging—as you need to.
You also get access to over 26 MonsterEffects—animation and sound-related—that you can use to
make the campaigns more attractive. The campaigns work equally well on desktop, mobile, and
tablets.
3. Personalise the campaign display by defining triggers: Make sure that your campaigns are
displayed to the right visitor at the right time using various triggers. These triggers can be based on:
a. Exit intent (when the visitor is about to leave the page or site)
b. Scroll (when the visitor has scrolled down a certain percentage of the page)
c. MonsterLinks 2-Step Optins (convert links or images to a 2-step opt-in form)
d. InactivitySensor (based on how long a visitor is inactive on your site)
e. Timed display control (show campaign after a predefined time)
f. Campaign scheduling (show time-sensitive campaigns only during specific periods)
4. Target the right people with the right campaign: Instead of showing all campaigns to all users,
make use of OptinMonster’s precision targeting techniques to show the most relevant campaigns
to visitors. The following targeting rules can be applied:
a. Referrer detection (depending on where the visitor is coming from)
b. Page-level targeting (depending on the page or section of your website)
c. On-site Follow Up Campaigns (on-site drip campaigns based on user interactions)
d. On-site Retargeting (special offers for returning visitors)
e. Geolocation targeting (based on the visitor’s location)
f. Cookie retargeting (based on custom cookies)
g. Device-based targeting (based on what device the visitor is using)
h. AdBlock detection (overcome ad blockers visitors are using through customised messaging)
5. Test and personalise your campaigns: The tool also allows you to conduct A/B tests, multivariate
tests, and real-time personalisation on the campaign types you choose to use.
6. Get in-depth reports: Learn how your campaigns are performing, analyse your conversion efforts,
get insights from your tests, what improvements can be made, and empower your business strategy
with actionable data and insights.
7. Work seamlessly with other platforms: You can link OptinMonster to other platforms for finer
segmentation and lead-sharing, create success-tracking scripts and retargeting pixels based on
campaign interaction, and add Smart Tags to display dynamic and personalised content to different
users.
Integrations:
Mailchimp, HubSpot, Salesforce Pardot, WordPress, Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce,
Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, Blogger, Tumblr, Infusionsoft, ActiveCampaign, Weebly, SquareSpace,

Oracle Maxymiser: User Research,
Testing, Personalisation, and Data
Management
Oracle’s Maxymiser is part of its marketing cloud that allows you to conduct split tests and
personalisation campaigns. You can deploy cross-device campaigns, manage customer data, and
analyse performance extensively.
What features does Maxymiser have?
1. Test all your hypothesis and let their results drive your strategies: Use heatmaps by Oracle Infinity
to find out how your users are interacting with your webpages, and then run A/B and multivariate
tests across various pages and customise them for the journeys of different segments of customers.
You can deploy multiple tests at the same time.
Source: Oracle.com Tutorials
2. Link all your customer data for an accurate picture of your customers: You can sync your
existing data, data in third-party tools, session data from Maxymiser, and/or data from Oracle Data
Management Platform to get a unified view of your customers. This data will feed into creation of
customer segments and deeper targeting that are most essential in personalisation activities. It
also helps you identify existing and new conversion opportunities across the transaction funnel.
Maxymiser can be integrated with your systems with just a single line of code.
3. Understand your users and personalise their experience on your site: By assessing all available
user and session data, you can create profiles—for individuals as well as segments—and understand
general market trends, as well as user intent, behaviour, and engagement with your website/app.
This allows you to create messaging and product/content recommendations relevant to each user/
user group and help reduce exit and bounce rate and cart abandonment and increase engagement
and conversions.
4. Let AI power your personalisation efforts: The use of machine learning algorithms ensures that
personalisation campaigns are constantly enhanced with fresh data, perspectives, and increasingly
accurate understanding of users. The AI can predict user behaviours based on previous and realtime data, which allows it to deliver the right messages and recommendations at a faster pace.
5. Enhance personalisation efforts for mobile apps as well: Maxymiser allows you to test and launch
personalisation campaigns for apps, and smartphone and tablets too. With accelerated campaign
deployment and real-time visual editing capabilities, ensure that mobile users get the experience
they expect at an expedited pace. You also don’t need to wait for app store approvals and
resubmissions.

Picreel: On-site Retargeting and
Conversion Optimisation
Picreel is a website optimisation tool that captures user data and on-site behaviour and helps you
deliver personalised messaging to them in real time. Its products include ReelOverlay, ReelLeads,
ReelSurvey, and ReelLinks, which work on desktop as well as Apple and Android smartphones. It
captures leads and sends the data to your CRM or marketing automation software.
What features does Picreel have?
1. Show targeted and personalised offers using overlays: With ReelOverlay, you can show the most
relevant offers in a page overlay format to targeted visitors in real time. These can help to nudge
the visitor to make a transaction, keep them engaged on the site for longer, or capture new leads.
On-site retargeting allows the tool to predict the exact moment a user leaves the page, to prevent
that action and deploy an exit intent overlay, for example. Targeting rules can be set based on users’
demographic and historical and real-time behavioural data.
2. Use forms for email capture from potential leads: With ReelLeads, you can show customised and
personalised forms to visitors who’re likely to be interested in your products and gather their emails
to add to your email marketing base. You can also use Picreel’s social media templates to persuade
more visitors to like and follow your account for increased social media visibility.
3. Use surveys to get direct feedback from visitors: ReelSurvey allows you to deploy targeted surveys at
the right time and in the right position on the page. You can survey specific user groups and customise
the survey designs, questions, answer types, and CTA forms. This will help you get direct feedback from
users apart from all the indirect feedback you get through on-site actions and behaviours.
4. Use link-based overlays to direct user actions: ReelLinks is a widget to show your visitors an
overlay with targeted and personalised messaging, when they click on a link. You can direct
the visitors towards another page, urge them to subscribe or join a list, or perform any other
transactional action.
Source: Picreel.com
5. Visual editors can be used for all tools: All the above tools can be created and edited with your
own branding with the software’s visual editor. You can use the available templates or build one
yourself by uploading a design, and you can make changes to the HTML or CSS codes as well.
6. Conduct A/B tests: You can experiment with elements on the Picreel widgets you use, to
constantly optimise your campaigns.
7. Get insights into the performance of all widgets used: All the data gathered from the use of
Picreel templates are sent to your CRM in real time. This allows you to view the performance metrics,
conversion rates, pageviews and visit information, and audience interactions with the widgets in a
comprehensive way.
Integrations:
Google Analytics, Salesforce, Magento, Shopify, Mailchimp, Aweber, GetResponse, Webhooks,
Zapier, Campaign Monitor, HubSpot, Infusionsoft, ActiveCampaign, Marketo, Klaviyo, Oracle Eloqua,

following elements can be edited and tested in multiple combinations on a page: Text (font), text
format, image, colour, dynamic variant, custom HTML, custom JavaScript, custom CSS, and custom
URL. The experiments can be edited and previewed before going live. The editor consists of the
following elements: Address bar (URL of control and variation), resolution drop-down (preview
to see your pages in different screen resolutions), selectors count (the number of elements being
experimented with), warnings (errors in the variants), and action panels (editing interface).
2. Create visitor segments to understand them better: You can collect all kinds of data about your

UseItBetter: Analytics and Website
Optimisation
UseItBetter offers tools for business intelligence, UX research, and optimisation, to allow you to
look at all metrics and opportunities from a single dashboard. It also offers services to manage
your CRO and analytics.
What features does UseItBetter have?
Source: UseItBetter.com
1. Track your visitors automatically: Automated tracking allows you to monitor your visitors and
events without having to manually tag everything. The tool explains your KPIs instead of simply
measuring them—see what customers really do and not just whether they’re doing what you
expect them to do. At the same time, no personal data is tracked or retained, ensuring data
security compliance. You can group interactions and find out their volume and impact on revenue,
conversions, and NPS score. The interactions can be combined with all kinds of data to create
user segments. The data can be compared and contrasted, and explained both qualitatively and
quantitatively to derive actionable insights.
2. Track your visitor events automatically: All user events are also tracked in combination with
information about the page elements the user interacted with. You can create event selectors to
match interactions with elements. These selectors in turn can be used to create segments and
triggers and get usage statistics. In the Preview Mode log, you can see what events and data
are being monitored. While previewing, you can use the visual editor to decide which parts of a
selector should be preserved and which removed to match groups of elements. From the data log
you can see the context of both behavioural or technical behaviours of your visitors, so that you
know what they did before and after a problem occurred.
3. Understand user activity through heatmaps and session replays: You can watch exactly what
users are doing on your website and on which parts they spent the most time through heatmaps,
scrollmaps, clickmaps, and session replays. Audience segmentation can be applied on heatmaps
so that you can compare the sessions of different segments, especially between converted users
and drop-offs, and understand their behaviour better. You can choose what interactions you want
to track and what you don’t want to. Heatmap views are available by webpage as well as by user.
So, you can see heatmaps of different users on a particular page, but also see what the same user
did throughout their entire journey of your website. Time-lapse views (an animated view of a session
heatmap) and quick previews of visits are also available. You can set custom page names to group
behaviours from pages with different URLs to avoid fragmentation of traffic.
4. Analyse user activity on forms: Through form analytics, you can understand what fields are
completed and what are not, what fields users hesitate at, struggle with, or drop off at, and why
such behaviours happened. To protect user data privacy, fields where users’ password or phone
number is entered are anonymised automatically.
The tool recognises the difference between compulsory and optional form fields, which means
it’ll point out in analytics reports what fields you really need to worry about. Validation errors—how
the forms responded to user actions—are also monitored and assessed. The tool also gives you
form analysis reports by segments. All these will help you identify conversion-reducing factors and
improve the functionality or user-friendliness of the forms.
5. Experiment, target, and optimise continuously: With its built-in A/B testing tool, UseItBetter
allows you to test your page or page element changes quickly. Just add the tracking code directly in
the head tag of your pages. The segments created by auto-tracking can be used to deliver targeted
and personalised messaging. Add forms and surveys for direct feedback from users to improve the
quality of your data. Though there’s no WYSIWYG editor, the JavaScript framework can be used
both by people who know coding and those who do not. The software’s precise error reports and
dynamic data, you will get all the insights necessary to understand what you need to improve and
what is working well on your website.

you can simply ‘drag and drop’ parameters to create audience segments that you wish to target
through your experiments, including by device, campaign, data layer attributes, cookies, on-site
behaviour, and perhaps the most powerful geotargeting engine, allowing you to target all the way
down to specific longitude and latitudes.
5. Get analytical overviews and detailed reports in one place: The intuitive dashboard allows you
to centrally collate and manage all your testing and performance data and interrogate the results.
You can track the progress of your experiments visually without getting lost in numbers. You can
manage and assign tests, targets, segments, and locations, and manage data imports, exports, and
host media assets on the CDN.
The built-in reporting tool allows you to deep-dive into the performance of all captured metrics
and discover the chance to beat control and statistical significance to help guide direction and
conclusions. For multivariate tests, the tool has the added ability to understand which category
of change drives the biggest impact. The non-binomial calculations (Average Order Value, Units
per transaction, etc.) also come with a ‘Chance to Beat Control and Significance’ option, so you
not only understand direction but validity too. The advanced statistical modelling ensures that the
results achieved are accurate, faster, and use less traffic.

Wigzo: Omnichannel Automation and
Personalisation for e-commerce
The Wigzo platform offers solutions to e-commerce businesses for marketing automation,
personalisation, analytics, and ad optimisation. It helps you provide a seamless omnichannel
experience to users and engage with them consistently.
What features does Wigzo have?
1. Deliver personalised omnichannel experiences: Wigzo’s powerful APIs and SDKs ensure the
delivery of campaigns to any digital channel or customer touchpoint. Whether it’s website, mobile
app, or email, the software helps you reach your user where they are. You can send targeted and
personalised messages in the following ways:
a. Push notification
b. Email marketing and personalisation
c. In-app messages
d. On-site notifications
e. Facebook Messenger
f. WhatsApp Business
2. Segment your audiences for better targeting in real time: The software collects and evaluates
all available customer data and uses predictive customer segmentation and identity resolution
of anonymous users to help you create smart user segments. You can share segments between
channels for an omnichannel experience and define rules and triggers to ensure that personalisation
campaigns are delivered to the right segment at the right time. This is key to delivering hyperpersonalised messaging and recommendations in real time.
3. Create triggering rules for apps and email: Personalisation campaigns on apps and emails can be
delivered accurately by defining trigger rules based on real-time user behaviour, events, and even
on data integrated from a POS system, loyalty platform, CRM, or other sources. Send notifications,
reminders, recommendations, and offers in a timely and relevant manner with subject lines/titles
and delivery times that are most likely to engage the user. You can preview the notifications and
emails and run live simulation to test the workflow and functionality. Control messaging frequency
and sync with a variety of email service providers to ensure delivery of your emails.
4. Create, test, and deliver personalisation campaigns that convert: You can use templates
from the Wigzo library to create personalisation campaigns on any channel, such as emails
(subject lines, images, text, layout) recommendation widgets, offers, banners, overlays, and push
notifications. The WYSIWYG editor ensures that creating the campaigns is easy and needs no
specialised knowledge. You can conduct A/B tests on any element of your website/app/email
before deploying a campaign, to ensure maximum impact. The decisioning engine compares the
performance of the experiments against your key KPIs and optimises the experience.
5. Let AI help you recommend the right products to the right users: Wigzo gives you a hybrid
machine learning approach—create personalisation rules and triggers and then let AI take over the
rule updating and customer engagement. You can apply recommendations to your webpages,
mobile apps, and emails.

6. Optimise your advertisement campaigns: Wigzo also allows you to create data-driven ads, use AI
to improve the performance and delivery of the ads, and analyse ad performance at granular levels.
7. Get the business intelligence and analytics you need: Apart from analysing and giving you
reports about user behaviour and experiences and campaign performance, you can also get
business intelligence on how these are impacting your business and revenue. You get a real-time
view of your store and options to compare and filter to create custom reports that will help you
focus on your KPIs and make key business decisions.
8. Automate your marketing campaigns: By making the most of the above features, setting up rules
for targeting, and utilising the platform’s hybrid machine learning approach, you can automate your
marketing campaigns and ensure minimal need for manual intervention.

Zoho PageSense: Conversion
Optimisation and Personalisation
Zoho Pagesense is a website testing, optimisation, and personalisation software that was

make user experience more convenient, and what to do to optimise conversion rates.
What features does Zoho PageSense have?
1. Watch what users do on your website: With heatmaps, scrollmaps, attention maps, and session
recordings, understand what visitors are actually doing on your website, where they are losing
interest or dropping off, and what parts of the website need to be optimised. You can also assess
how your forms are being filled out by users, where they hesitate, what fields are left empty when
optional, and at what point they abandon the form and move on.
Source: Zoho.com/pagesense
2. Conduct experiments to make data-driven decisions: You can conduct A/B tests and Split
URL tests using Pagesense. Create tests using the intuitive editor, target specific segments with
each variation, and get heatmaps of how visitors interacted with each variation. You also get
detailed analytics and reporting, easy report filtering, and conversion rate forecasts to guide your
optimisation efforts.
3. Create personalised journeys by targeting segments in unique ways: Create audience segments
and clusters and choose which ones you want to target with a personalisation campaign. Create
personalised versions of your webpages for each cluster using the graphic editor. Access detailed
analytics and heatmaps for each personalised page versions to understand how the campaigns are
performing.
4. Run poll and survey campaigns to get direct user feedback: Use polls and surveys on your
website and apps to get direct feedback, NPS, smiley and star ratings, and leads from your visitors.
Create and modify polls using the 10 customisable and responsive designs and add triggers to
launch the polls on the website. You won’t get heatmaps for polls but analytics is available.
5. Set goals and track your conversion metrics: You can create business and conversion goals you
want to achieve on your website, and track the performance of your website and even individual
page elements and custom events in real time. See a full funnel analysis and understand how many
visitors move from one step of the journey to another. PageSense also has a Chrome Extension to
make monitoring easy.

Contact the company for a customised quote.
What 8Seconds Optimizer users say
The tool has clients such as ebay, Groupon, Samsung, AirCanada, AutoTrader, Payback, Thomas Cook,
Conrad, Microsoft, Philips, Texas Instruments, and Fiat.
“With an average gain of 251%, Mobistar has excellent ROI results on our campaigns. We
discovered that optimising calls-to-action is not a one-off exercise. All kinds of factors influence
audience behaviour that can impact how they respond such as the weather, time of year,
demographic mix, economics, competitor communications, and things we could not even
imagine. So a colour or offer that worked last week or last month, may not work so well next
week. So, we intend to keep on testing and learning continuously on future campaigns.”
Pierre Cordier, Online Channels Traffic Manager, Mobistar
“This partnership with 8Seconds represents a breakthrough for our customers. Indeed, today it
is essential to stand out to demonstrate responsiveness and precision. Not only our customers
require getting to manage real-time feedback with access to a powerful platform but they
also want new functionality that make all their campaigns successful and enable their final
customers. To achieve this goal, 8Seconds is the best solution on the market, and we are proud
to have demonstrated the relevance of our association.”

location and device-type. The company is working on updating the software to allow targeting
through browsers, cookies, utm parameters, new versus returning visitors, and so on.
4. Make changes easily with visual editor: The visual editor is easy to use, which means you don’t
have to know coding to make changes on your website. But at the same time, it also gives you the
flexibility to make advanced changes using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or jQuery when needed.
5. Enjoy cross-channel capabilities: You don’t have to create multiple tests for desktop, mobile, and
tablet versions of your website, as the visual editor takes care of adapting to the device. The tool
can even be used on domains, extranets, intranets, and e-commerce sites.
6. Integrate fully with your GA dashboard: This platform can be fully linked to Google Analytics to
let you see your data and insights in one place and segment it as per your needs. You don’t have to
create separate conversion goals for ChangeAgain.
7. It’s easy to set up: This platform only needs you to input a JavaScript code snippet on your website
to get started. It’s a one-time, one-step process. ChangeAgain makes sure that the code is installed
properly on all the pages of your site. You also don’t have to worry about the code slowing down
your website. Their Asynchronous Smart Code ensures that the visitors continue to have a seamless
experience on your website.
8. Get 24x7 technical support and access to their knowledgebase: You get a dedicated account
manager who will support you on using the tool any time of the day/year. You can also access their
Case Study Library and Ideas Lab, which contain case studies of their clients, best practices, ideas,
and insights that you can implement on your website.
What will this platform cost you?
You get a free trial for 14 days—you don’t even have to input any payment details to get this. There are

Crazy Egg: User Research and
Experimentation
Crazy Egg has a website optimisation and testing platform that allows you to not only perform
A/B tests but also analyse your site performance with live user testing—you can generate
heatmaps and scrollmaps, and watch recordings of user sessions. It also has a page editor to help
you implement the improvisations required.
What features does Crazy Egg have?
Source: Crazyegg.com
1. Learn how your users interact with your website: Crazy Egg conducts live user tests and
generates heatmaps, scrollmaps, confetti snapshots, click percent reports, and screen recordings.
2. Conduct A/B tests with ease: It’s easy to create tests and run them with the Crazy Egg A/B Testing
tool. The tool is also easy and quick to set up—you need to just add a snippet to the website.
3. Detailed analytics reports: The results of all types of tests and recordings are presented in the form
of visual reports, which makes it easy for you to understand what areas customers find problematic
on the site, what needs to be improved, and what changes to prioritise. You could also get list
reports instead of visual reports if you prefer it that way. This complements the insights you get
through Google Analytics or other tools, which can help you constantly optimise your website.
Integrations:
Google Tag Manager, Drupal, Magento, Shopify, WordPress, and Joomla, among others.
What will this platform cost you?
Crazy Egg offers a 30-day free trial, but you have to provide payment details. Even though the pricing
is monthly, the billing is done annually.

You can also hire them as a consultancy and hand over your website optimisation task to them. That

regular progress updates and reporting.
What Crazy Egg users say
The company reportedly has over 300,000 users, including Dell, Etsy, Yahoo, about.me, Williams
Sonoma, and Radio Free Europe.
“If you need to figure out which elements of a webpage are getting clicks, and measure versions
against one another, Crazy Egg is the answer. This simple software programme only does a
couple things, but it does them exceedingly well in an ultra easy to use fashion that puts it in the
same ‘why isn’t all software this good’ category with Basecamp, iPhone, and Conceptshare.”
Jay Baer, Founder of Convince and Convert
“We just rebuilt our website for a second (really third) time within the last year and a half but only
started implementing Crazy Egg in September. This has been a big key in showing us how our
users are liking the new layout and site. With this product I love being able to see if the users are
trying to click on our lead magnets that we put so much work into, how much of the page they’re
actually reading or viewing, what items they may try to click on that aren’t clickable, and so on.
It makes my job easier as the web designer to better create the flow of the site for them.”

Evolv: AI-powered Conversion and
Revenue Optimisation
Evolv is an evolutionary AI SaaS platform that uses machine learning to help you automate your
marketing and optimisation efforts and to optimise conversions and revenue. The software offers
multi-channel monitoring and its AI algorithms constantly work on improving page combinations
and user experience.
What features does Evolv have?
1. Allow AI to do the heavy-lifting: Even if you don’t have the time or resources to look at every
little thing on your website, Evolv’s evolutionary algorithms will track everything you need and
help you create and run experiments with almost no involvement. This means that you won’t miss
opportunities for optimisation.
2. Create conversion rate KPIs to weigh experiments against: You can link conversion goals to
experiment targets in order to make sure that the tests are run with a definite purpose.
3. Edit your pages in whichever way you’re comfortable: The software comes with visual as well
as code editors, allowing you to make simplistic as well as advanced edits to your pages or page
variations.
4. Enjoy a holistic digital experience: This platform allows you to track user interactions on multiple
channels—mobile or web, multiple devices, multiple pages, and across the funnel. At the same
time, it will not consume too much of your traffic to arrive at the insights and best-possible
combinations. You also get full-stack integrations.
5. Generate useful reports: The tool gives you detailed reports and analytics, and you can customfilter your tests and results by whatever audience parameter you want to track.
What will this platform cost you?
You will have to contact the company to know the pricing plans for the tool. There’s a free trial, and if
you would like to subscribe, then you’ll be converted to a 12-month plan. After that, there’s a monthly
payment plan based on how many users are tested each month.
What Evolv users say
“We found testing multiple changes in support of a common goal—in our case, increasing
engagement with our vehicle-specific information and services—to be an ideal use case for
Evolv. We were able to compress half a year’s worth of testing into a single month, and improve
one of our key KPIs that much more quickly… artificial intelligence solutions like Evolv can
augment your team through automation and accelerate the path to results.”
Monica Kim, Digital Marketing Strategy Manager, KIA Motors Corporation
“With Evolv, we got meaningful insights and results in just 2 months for what would have
taken us nine years using traditional A/B testing solutions. By being able to test many ideas
for improving our experience at scale, we’re learning three times faster and achieving major
increases in our conversion rates.”
Mark Tijssen, Product Owner CRO, Landal Greenparks

Inspectlet: User Research, A/B Testing,
and Analytics
Inspectlet aids website analytics and optimisation by showing you why your users are behaving
the way they are. It offers session recordings, heatmaps, A/B testing, form analytics, and error
logs, which, coupled with data from Google Analytics, will help you figure out what you need to
change on your website and why.
What features does Inspectlet have?
Source: Inspectlet.com
1. Watch what your users are doing on your website: Session recordings allow you to watch your
users’ behaviour and time spent on your website. Recordings are made of each click, mouse
movement, scrolls, and keypress made on your site. You can view these recordings later, and filter
by types of audiences—new vs returning, organic visitors vs ad visitors, time spent on site, the pages
visited, the pages exited from, etc. There’s also a funnel analysis tool that will show you how many
completed a task and how many did not. You can also tag sessions and users through the JavaScript
tagging API, which will help you filter your results further and get the insights you’re looking for.
2. See where your users are looking on the site: This platform comes with heatmaps for eyetracking, clicks, and scrolls. These complement the session recordings to tell you what your users
are reading or where their eye is roving. These tell you what the attractive bits of your page are and
what are not, which is super-useful for redesigns and layout changes.
180
3. Create and test page variations to put into practice all that you learn from recordings,
heatmaps, and analytics: Once you are armed with all the data that Inspectlet’s platform gives
you, you can create variations of pages and do A/B tests. The platform also comes with a visual
editor with which you can make changes to any page element. Results of tests can be seen on the
dashboard, set against the goals you set for each experiment. These insights will help increase
your conversions by telling you which new layout or page element is likely to retain more users or
persuade them to buy from you.
4. Analyse your forms to get a comprehensive conversion report: With Form Analytics, you get to
see the following reports:
a. Conversion Report: How many visitors are actually converting through your existing form;
b. Funnel Report: What part of the funnel people are dropping off the most and how many make
through each funnel stage;
c. Hesitation Report: Which form field is the most difficult (or takes a long time) for users to fill;
d. Fill Report: What form field is being refilled or changed more often in a single session;
e. Ignored Field Report: What form fields are being ignored or is causing users to stop filling the
form and exit the page.
5. Get detailed error logs: View console logs and monitor any code or back-end errors in real time.
You can also see what network requests are made and how much latency occurs when someone is
trying to view a page. Session recordings help you understand when and how the error occurred
and how user behaviour was affected by it.
6. Enjoy full technological compatibility: The software is easy to integrate with any kind of page
or code; for example, dynamic JavaScript, HTML5, AJAX, Ember, AngularJS, Backbone, cookies,
login/authentication, and HTTPS/SSL. You just need to add a few JavaScript codes to the site to set
it up. The platform is also compatible with all modern browsers to show deep stack trace of error
causes.
What will this platform cost you?
Inspectlet has monthly and yearly plans; the latter comes with a 15% discount.

What Inspectlet users say
This software reportedly has over 90,000 clients, including Salesforce, Shopify, Cisco, ebay, abc.com,
and Heroku.
“I like that all the ‘fluff’ that many of their competitors use to increase the price substantially is
stripped away. I love the fact that there is no training or help manual needed to be successful
with this tool. You can jump right in and master it in no time. The pricing has more than paid for
itself in the actionable learning we have created. I can create filters to group together sessions
for just about anything I would like to pull together. Any time I have contacted Inspectlet with
a suggestion or problem I have gotten an answer/resolution quickly… Using Inspectlet easily
called out an issue we had with account creation that we were unaware of. Inspectlet also
helped us identify the fact that people are not interacting with our autosuggest functionality in
the way we had thought it would be used. Inspectlet helped us identify a production issue with
pricing syncing to the site. This came to light by observing the ‘add to cart’ button was present
on product detail page, but there was no price for the product present.”
Elaine S., e-commerce Site Manager (Review from G2.com)

“We learned about Inspectlet from our friends at Mogl. They raved about Inspectlet, and we
understand why. On our site, we learned that some people wanted to click on things that didn’t
link anywhere and that others were not clicking on things we wanted them to click on. The tool is
extremely inexpensive but priceless.”
Adriana Herrera, entrepreneur (as written in The New York Times)

Nelio A/B Testing: Testing and User
Research for WordPress
Nelio has different optimisation plugins and products specifically for WordPress websites: Nelio
Maps, Nelio Translate, Nelio Compare Image, Nelio Content, and Nelio A/B Testing Software.
You can use all these plugins directly from your WordPress site without leaving the dashboard.
What features does Nelio A/B Testing have?
1. Test everything on your WordPress site: With an intuitive and on-WordPress editor, you can create
tests without any coding knowledge. You can change a variety of page elements to create granularlevel tests. You can test the following: landing pages, blog posts, headlines, WooCommerce
products, menus, widgets, themes, heatmaps, templates, custom post types, and CSS. You can
create new variants from scratch or from existing pages/elements. More than one variant can be
created and experimented with at the same time.
Source: Neliosoftware.com/testing
2. Track the right goals and performance metrics: The WooCommerce product testing will help
you track sales targets alongside conversion goals. The performance of your tests can be tracked
against multiple goals, to be selected from pageviews, number of alternatives, and conversion rate
goals. The tool also tells you the timeline of the experiments and what factors can be improved
on the tests. You can even define what conversion action would lead to a conversion goal being
achieved, such as visiting a page or post, click on a page element, click on an external link, form
submission, purchase of a WooCommerce product, or a customised event that can be coded in
using JavaScript. Once a winner is found, you can make that the control page (live version) with just
one click. With built-in heatmaps that can be activated as you need, you can see exactly what users
are doing on your pages for both the control and variants.
3. Rest assured of your site’s SEO-friendliness: Google approves of A/B testing, and therefore
running experiments on your page has no risk. Nelio A/B Testing Software does not cloak pages,
and helps you shut down the tests as soon as a winner is found, thereby ensuring that visitors are
not being served different versions indefinitely.
4. Easy addition to your site: All you need to do is download the plugin to your WordPress site and
install it.
Integrations:
WordPress, SiteGround, WPEngine, Bluehost, HostGator, GreenGeeks, Raiola Networks,
Webempresa, DreamHost, and Kinsta.

“Nelio A/B Testing provides you with the tools you need to perform sophisticated split tests
from within WordPress. Better yet, the plugin has virtually no impact on site loading times as
all processing is done via remote server. The resulting data is objective, and it clearly tells you
which version of the page converts better. Extensive split tests can increase sales, and Nelio A/B
Testing makes the process easy.”
Jean Galea, Founder, WP Mayor
“We were pleased to find how well Nelio A/B Testing works in WordPress sites for ourselves and
our clients. Ruth and the team provide excellent support and regular updates. The great thing
about Nelio is that it goes beyond just heatmaps and A/B tests to consider the holistic picture of
how to optimise behaviour on your site. That’s why we were happy to include and reference it in
our Marketer’s Concise Guide to CRO book.”

PlanOut: Facebook’s Open-Source
Framework for Server-Side Testing
PlanOut is Facebook’s Python-based “framework for online field experiments”, which was made
open source in April 2014. Since the software was developed for Facebook to create tests, it has
some advanced technical features. Instead of using a constant parameter value, PlanOut provides
randomised values to create more dynamic experiments and more variations of a page. The
software is focused on server-side experimentation.
What features does PlanOut have?
1. Create simple as well as complicated A/B tests: This software allows you to randomly assign
parameter values to different kinds of units in a test, which means that you can create multiple page
variations with ease.
2. Full log of codes is maintained: Each parameter value is checked against the logging codes in
order to make data analysis more accurate. This helps you figure out which users have seen which
variation or which part of the test.
3. You can serialise your experiments: The software allows JSON code entries, which allows you
to have separate review processes for modifications made to the experiment. You can execute
tests on various platforms and control how many operations occur as and when experiments are
assigned. Developers could also do away with coding and execute their own tools to specify tests.
4. Enjoy ease of use through specific tools: Clear description and implementation can be done
using PlanOut language (the code of which is compiled into the JSON serialisation) and executed
by PlanOut interpreter. You can run multiple tests at the same time using basic namespace classes
available in the PlanOut library.
5. Easy for developers to use and understand: The software can be easily installed on Linux and Mac
OS X using a simple pip (or any other) installation system. There are detailed documents explaining
how to install and use it, how to create and implement tests.
6. The platform also has third-party ports: Ports are available for JavaScript, Java, PHP, Golang, Lua,
and Ruby.
“We wanted to share our experiences with running and analysing many large experiments
at Facebook. This open source release accompanies a research paper on running online
experiments: Designing and Deploying Online Field Experiments. We hope that with this
release, we will get others to get excited about running experiments, and do so in an effective
and sound fashion. We are always learning new things about what works and what doesn’t,
and hope that by engaging with the community, we will all come to develop experimentation
software whose use cases extend beyond the initial release of the Python-based reference
implementation.”
Facebook team
What will this platform cost you?
Since this is an open-source software, there’s no cost involved in using it.
Company information and contact details
PlanOut was created for Facebook by Eytan Bakshy, Dean Eckles, and Michael S. Bernstein, and was
inspired by the tool QuickExperiment. It has had several other contributors along the way. Developers
and researchers can continue contributing to the software through Github.

SplitHero: Experimentation for WordPress
SplitHero is another testing tool exclusively for WordPress. It can even be used by CRO
freelancers and agencies for their clients. It also collects data and evaluates them for efficient
optimisation.
What features does SplitHero have?
1. Experiment with your page designs: You can create split tests using the page editor on
WordPress or any other page builder. You can run as many as 4 test variants, experimenting with
different page elements, simultaneously. The tool will do dynamic allocation of traffic to the variants.
You can also test your WooCommerce product pages and layouts.
Source: Splithero.com
2. Get in-depth analytics: SplitHero will give you information about winning variations and
conversion rates of each page variant. The tool will show you insights that are actually useful to your
website, such as unique visitors for each variation, bounce rate, conversion rate, and sales data for
WooCommerce products.
195
3. Link easily with your WordPress website: You just need to download the plugin, install it, and
enter your API key once you select the plan you want to subscribe to.
4. Look out for new and upcoming features: The following features are in the pipeline for the
tool: integrations with CartFlows, on-button click conversion tracking, white-labelling of PDF
reports, team accounts, exclusion of specific IPs from tracking and redirects, disabling monitoring
and redirecting for logged-in WordPress users, and upgrade of app environment to Vultr High
Frequency Server.
Integrations:
Elementor, Beaver Builder, Oxygen, and Brizy
What will this platform cost you?
The tool comes with 3 plans, and there’s a 14-day free trial to get you started. Here are the pricing

Splitly: Split Testing and AI for Amazon
Product Listings
Splitly is an A/B testing and optimisation platform specifically for Amazon product listings. It uses
machine learning for keener learnings from experiments and allows you to track your rankings for
important keywords.
What features does Splitly have?
1. Create and modify A/B tests on Amazon easily: You can upload your original listings and create
variations of elements—including keywords—that you would like to experiment with.
Source: Splitly.com
2. Let the tool select the winning variation: Once you create an experiment, the tool will keep
testing the variations until a statistically significant winner is found. The winning iteration will then
be chosen by Splitly as the final listing of your product. An important point to note is that while tests
are operational, you cannot change your product listing. You will have to stop the test if there is any
change in your products.
3. You will receive periodic reports: Comprehensive reports about the performance of your tests will
be available to you as frequently as you need.
4. You don’t need to worry about Amazon blacklisting your account for repeated changes to
product listings. The company has permission from Amazon to perform A/B tests, so your account
will not face any penalty for frequent changes to product listings or elements.
197
5. Let AI-powered Profit Peak optimise your private label prices automatically: Profit Peak will
explore the prices of private label products and find the best price with the best profit margin. This
pricing changes dynamically as market conditions change—you have to do nothing except enter
the key information about your products. You can set minimum and maximum price limits for your
products to ensure that Profit Peak does not under-price or overprice them.
6. Track keyword rankings and product listing performance: You will receive daily updates about
rankings for top keywords and what position your listing holds. You can also access historical data
for comparison and clarity.
What will this platform cost you?
This tool comes in 4 packages, and all except the Starter plan come with Profit Peak AI.

What Splitly users say
According to the company’s website, its users have A/B tested around 44.38 million sales, run more
than 107,000 tests, and made a monthly revenue impact of over US$1.158 billion.
“I was shocked when a simple main image test increased my sales from an average of 11 per
day to 14 per day. That may not sound like much but that results in over US$4,000 extra in profit
put into my pocket each year. Since sales on Amazon vary from day to day and week to week
so much, I would never have known the true winner without doing the proper A/B test through
Splitly.”
Scott Voelker, The Amazing Seller
“A/B testing on Amazon is a no brainer for anyone who wants to truly optimise their listings.
Splitly automates the whole process for you and makes it super simple to test different prices,
images, titles and more. I’ve been able to squeeze out an additional 20% of profit from my
products through A/B tests with Splitly.”

SOCIAL PROOFING
When you shop for an item on Amazon, you tend to look at customer reviews, don’t you? That’s
an example of you seeking social proof. Social proof is based on the idea that we look up to
what other people are doing or saying.
Whether you start buying a particular fashion brand because your favourite celebrity endorses it,
or you want to book a hotel room that the site claims is being looked at by 12 other people at the
same time, you’re being influenced by social proof.
There are many types of social proof, according to Buffer.com, ConversionXL.com, and
Hubspot.com. Some of the common ones are: expert recommendations—including case
studies, researched reports, business credentials, a large amount of or high-quality backlinks,
and actual experts talking well or ill of something, celebrity endorsements, user reviews, crowd
proof—such as a high number of followers, social shares, or a large number of positive/negative
ratings, friend recommendations, and authority certification—e.g. awards, seal of certification
from the leading association in the domain.
Online marketing by any kind of company or business—whether sales of goods or services, or a
company/business website, can use social proof messaging to bolster their credibility and the
customer/reader’s trust towards them.
Examples:
1. Agoda.com
2. Salesforce

Taggstar: Social Proof Messaging Suite
Taggstar is a social proofing platform that allows e-commerce sites to split test social proof
messaging on any device and at any point in the funnel. The company caters mainly to retail,
fashion, and travel websites. It claims that the tool can help grow conversions by up to 12%.
What features does Taggstar have?
1. You can show social proof messages and drive up the popularity and urgency of a product on any
platform or any device. This means that you can personalise the messages as per the technology
the customer is using.
Source: Taggstar.com
2. The messages are customised to the product at each stage of the funnel, so they can be displayed
at whatever point of the purchase journey the customer is at.
3. You can use the A/B testing tool available on the platform, or integrate with other tools such as
Monetate, Optimizely, Maxymiser, or Adobe Target.
4. The JavaScript tags used for integration of the tool with your site are lightweight and therefore
will not slow down your site. Taggstar uses a modular platform, where you tag only the pages
you need to, which again contributes to ensuring the page-load times stay short. The tags can be
added using tools such as Google Tag Manager, Tealium, ensighten, Adobe DTM, or DC Storm.
5. The dashboard gives you real-time data, analysis, and insights. You will be able to see how your
experiments and live social proof messages are performing, how the customers are reacting to
them, and make changes as required.

Unbounce: Landing Page Optimisation
Unbounce is a landing page builder and optimisation software with A/B testing capabilities. You
get access to customisable, functional, and attractive page templates, pop-ups, and sticky bars.
What features does Unbounce have?
1. Use drag-and-drop builder to create landing pages that look good and convert: There are over
100 customisable templates to choose from to create your landing pages, in addition to the 240+
designs from Themeforest. The Google Fonts library allows you to choose from over 950 fonts. You
can duplicate and modify the pages that work for you or copy and paste elements from one page
to another. You can add your own scripts and pixels through custom CSS, JavaScript, and HTML
codes, and replicate them on other pages using the Script Manager. The pages are fully responsive
on mobiles and can be tailored to mobile layouts without needing additional designing. The pages
can be published directly to your domain and integrated with WordPress, ongoing campaigns, or
URL structure. You also get access to over 850,000 professional images from Unsplash for free.
2. Use forms, pop-ups, and sticky bars for higher conversion rates: Unbounce has modifiable
templates for forms, sticky bars, and pop-ups as well. You can create forms, add them to the
webpage/s as a page or as a pop-up/mat on top of gated content, and generate leads and
interest. You can also show thank you messages on completion and redirect the user to any page
after a form is filled. Pop-ups and sticky bars can be delivered to specific visitor segments based on
a behavioural, referral, or location trigger, and are mobile-friendly. The content, images, or offers on
them will be dynamically replaced according to the search intent or trigger activity.
Source: Unbounce.com
3. Experiment with your pages as well as other tools: You can conduct A/B tests on landing pages
as well as pop-ups and forms. The traffic will be split 50:50, but conversion rates are estimated
with less traffic as well. Smart Traffic is a proprietary machine learning algorithm that automatically
predicts and optimises your campaign until the highest conversion rates are achieved. This also
helps you deliver customised versions of webpages to users. The AI monitors visitors’ attributes and
sends them the most relevant page variant. This helps reduce the testing time and will also show
you different winning variations for different audience segments.
4. Rest assured that your data is safe: Unbounce is compliant with GDPR, CASL, and PCI-DSS, and
has SSL encryption, 99.96% up-time, data management through 5 data centres, and customer
support through phone, email, and chat. The features for safer account management include
two-factor authentication (2FA), single sign-on (SSO), password lock-out, restricted permissions
for users, and automatic timeout of sessions after a pre-defined period of time. The Enterprise plan
even has audit logs for all account user activity. Your domain will also stay protected once you claim
it on Unbounce. You can see older versions of your pages with the option to restore them.
Integrations:
Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Gmail, Google Ads, Facebook, Microsoft Dynamics CRM,
WordPress, Salesforce, VWO, Slack, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Kissmetrics, Zapier, Hotjar, UsabilityHub,
ActiveCampaign, Campaign Monitor, Agile CRM, Mandrill, Marketo, Crazy Egg, Aweber, FullStory,
Betasend, CallRail, CallHub, Doppler, Drip, and others.
What will this platform cost you?
Unbounce has 3 plans: Essential, Premium, and Enterprise. There’s a 14-day free trial for the first two.
You will save 20% if you pay on an annual basis instead of per month. The table below contains the

Acoustic: Multi-Channel Marketing with
Personalisation and Analytics
Acoustic has a host of tools for various aspects of marketing, including personalisation, user
and behaviour analytics, campaign management and automation, price optimisation, content
management system, and lifecycle promotion management. The company has 8 products:
• Campaign
• Experience Analytics (Tealeaf)
• Personalization
• Lifecycle Pricing
• Lifecycle Promotion
• Analytics
• Content
• Exchange
• Distributed Marketing
We shall focus on Experience Analytics (Tealeaf), Analytics, and Personalization.
What features does Acoustic have?
1. Use the power of AI to understand and analyse customers: You can watch how users interact with
your website or mobile app, through session replays. The AI will detect anomalies and struggles
the users face while using your site. It also analyses customer journeys across different channels on
which they interact with your brand and provides insights on the mindset of the customer at each
stage of their journey. These can help to quickly identify what pages or functionalities you need
to optimise, what kind of users to track, how to improve the user’s engagement with you, how to
tackle cart abandonments and drop-offs to improve conversion rate and revenue, and who to target
in your marketing campaigns.
2. Create personalisation rules: To ensure that the right kind of content is delivered to the right
type of audience, use Visual Personalization Management to select webpages and assign rules for
personalisation based on individual customers, segments, or real-time behaviour. For example, you
could say that show x image to users who arrive from x country but a different image to users who
arrive from another country. You can add multiple conditions to the rules and test them to make sure
they are relevant and functional.
3. Let AI learn from each user interaction: Apart from the rules you set, the tool’s AI will continuously
learn from user interactions, and pick up on what content to show what kind of visitor. Real-time
personalisation, where you can send targeted messages to visitors according to their behaviour on
the website, will help increase user engagement and loyalty. AI also helps you automate marketing
campaigns and create customised user experience and journeys across different digital media.
4. Experience Analytics (Tealeaf) allows you to secure sensitive data: The tool helps you increase
compliance towards regulations such as GDPR and get alerts on malicious activity or fraud on your
site. You can also block such activities and look into suspicious transactions.

What will this platform cost you?
Contact the company for a consultation and information about the cost of the software.
What Acoustic users say
The company has more than 3,500 global brands including PayPal, Rakuten, LV=, Buffalo David Bitton,
and Seasalt Cornwall, as clients.
“Feeding in the data analysis [of Acoustic Experience Analytics] into our alerting systems and
monitoring systems [helps] to see if there is something going on in our customer experience KPIs
that we need to react quickly to. So the way we leverage AI within PayPal helps address our
customer experience issues…more proactively. AI is saving [us] a lot of time. [Earlier] they tried
to spend their energy, effort to learn about the issue, but now they are putting that saved time
towards fixing the issue… And by reducing the number of users experiencing timeout issues
we’re able to improve the number of transactions per customer.”
Kuntal Goradia, Director of Customer Experience Analytics and Experimentation, PayPal

BlueConic: Customer Data Platform and
Personalisation
BlueConic is first and foremost a customer data platform that helps you analyse first-party
customer data, create unified profiles, acquire new customers, and enhance customer
experiences.
What features does BlueConic have?
1. Organise your data into a unified customer view: The software identifies customers and instead
of creating fragmented, duplicate profiles, it will bring all related data together. BlueConic allows
integrations with 80 other data platforms and you can import data through webhooks, data layer
connections, SFTP, JavaScript pixel, API, or by uploading a CSV file. By linking to any other customer
data sources that you’re already using, you can integrate historical data into the software, making
your data richer. You can use a unique user identifier—email ID or customer number or name—to
denote an individual and then create rules for merging profiles in order to get the single customer
view. You can also sync individual consent across your ecosystem to ensure compliance with GDPR
and other data security protocols.
2. Create smart segments of your visitors: You can either create segments on your own or let the
software do it. Club together visitors displaying similar attributes—demographics, location, interests,
consent status, past purchases, and other behaviours—to make it easier to target them with the most
relevant personalisation campaigns. The easy and fast interface allows you to activate segments as
soon as they are built. Segments can be created for both known and anonymous visitors, and any
changes the AI Workbench algorithm notices in the behaviour or attribute of a user will be updated in
segments in real time. The software also has predictive behavioural segmentation capacity.
3. Get actionable and usable insights: You can customise your analytics dashboard by choosing
what kind of visualisation you would like. The BlueConic Insights gallery ensures you have access to
all collected data, segments, activations, and reports. Watch every activity of your users in real time
and know whom to engage when and where.
4. Acquire more customers by understanding anonymous visitors: BlueConic’s data analysis and
segmentation allows you to understand anonymous visitors, and their behaviours and preferences
better. This helps you reach out to them in real time and turn them into new customers. The
segmentation will tell you who your best customers are, and by targeting anonymous and new
visitors who have behaviours or attributes similar to your high-value customers, you can increase
your ROI. You can also improve advertisement bid strategies by segment and target the ones
most likely to convert with personalised ads. The tool also helps you retrieve abandoned carts by
delivering real-time personalised incentives across channels.
5. Engage with your visitors by delivering tailored experiences: Find out which customers are
inactive or non-interactive and deploy 1:1 personalised experiences and products to them using
ML, across different channels such as websites, mobile apps, and social media. The algorithm
ensures that all personalisations are aligned with each visitor’s interests and behaviours. With
BlueConic Dialogues, you can create rules on who to target, when and where to engage, and what
to say to that segment of users.
6. Retain your customers and up-sell and cross-sell to loyal ones: Data will tell you which customers
are likely to leave you, and you can target those users with highly personalised recommendations and
incentives to retain them and make them loyal to your brand. With machine learning, you can promote
up-sell and cross-sell products based on individual preference and previous purchase behaviours.

What BlueConic users say
BlueConic clients include ING, Moen, T-Mobile, Hearst, Atlantis, America’s Test Kitchen, Franklin
Sports, and others.
“[After using BlueConic CDP] Our bounce rates immediately dropped and our CTR went up, and
we started getting a more engaged audience that we could retain longer on the site, nurture
and convert. We were able to do this because of our ability to track behaviour through the CDP.”
Saugar Sainju, VP of Growth Marketing, Goba Sports Group
“BlueConic has delivered a highly integrated and visual depiction of what my customers look
like. It allows me to segment my users and get the right content in front of them at the right times.
Since using BlueConic, those that have been exposed to software are bounding 50% less and
converting an additional two points.”

BounceX (Wunderkind): Identity
Resolution, Triggered Email, and Website
Personalisation
BounceX (Wunderkind from 18 March 2020) understands and segments users into smart groups,
personalises the website experience for them, nudges them towards buying from you, and helps
in capturing email for nurturing and retargeting. It also helps you send trigger-based emails to
your customers. It also has ad placement solutions for publishers, agencies, and advertisers, and
managed services for conversion optimisation.
What features does BounceX have?
1. Experience advanced identity resolution for improved understanding of visitors: BounceX
Identity allows you to bring your anonymous and known users together and get a unified audience
view. It works through advanced device identification, ConsumerID Graph, and PBM Cloud
(People-Based Marketing). This allows you to sync in-app experiences with websites on desktop
and mobile. BounceX’s database sees 500 million devices and 100 million anonymised emails
every month just on the US network, which allows you to benefit from first-party data for identity
resolution.
2. Automate your on-site messaging in real time: With Behavioural CMS, that evaluates high-intent
and low-intent behaviours and changes in real time, you can personalise your website and set rules
to automatically deploy dynamic on-site messages. This will help you increase conversion rates
from high-intent customers and capture emails from low-intent users. The tool will also ensure that
continuity is maintained in messaging between sessions, devices, and channels, ensuring higher
engagement and a seamless user journey.
3. Remarket to your inactive, passive, and cart-abandoning shoppers: With better identification
of your customers, you will be able to target them more effectively. Send Behavioural Emails for
various activities at different points of the funnel—abandonment from homepage, category or
product pages, and at cart addition or checkout level. Send personalised emails to ensure that the
messages are relevant to each individual customer. You can also remarket to users who abandoned
as long as 6 months ago through relevant product feed integrations to inform them about stock
replenishment or depletion, reduction in prices, and new arrivals similar to browsing history.
What will this platform cost you?
Reach out to BounceX to know the cost of the software and if it has different feature packages you can
pick from.
What BounceX users say
BounceX has over 300 clients such as JetBlue, HelloFresh, Uniqlo, Samsonite, Clarins, FiltersFast.com,
rag & bone, Refinery29, Avis, Clarks, Transamerican Auto Parts, and Comcast.
“BounceX’s technology allows us to grow our email database, recognise more shoppers onsite
and deploy high-converting behavioural emails at an unprecedented rate, all with minimal
resources and time invested on our end. Their performance was well worth the investment…
Within 1 month, BounceX was already a top 3 revenue channel for us.”
Jay Nigrelli, VP of e-commerce, Samsonite
“I’m sceptical whenever a vendor promises double-digit growth, but BounceX has delivered on
that for our email channel and more. They’ve exceeded our expectations in terms of both the
initial and ongoing opportunities that this channel now delivers for us.”

Certona: All-in-One Personalisation Suite

to personalise everything on your site for them. It covers personalisation of search, discovery,
recommendations, and content.
What features does Certona have?
1. Let your customers discover the most relevant products: Certona’s AI analyses the user’s intent
and behaviour and identifies the products they might be interested in. Once this is identified, each
of your users will see a different category page, rearranged by the AI to be more relevant to them.
Source: Certona.com
2. Make the right recommendations: The software recognises buyer intent and customises
recommendations for products/content based on how the users arrived on your site, what they
search on your site, and how they navigate around the site. It also engages with the users for a
guided purchasing experience and cross-selling.
3. Customise the content on your website: From product recommendations to offers and text to
images, you can tailor-make your landing pages for your customers, without any manual work. You
just need to have all kinds of content assets available on your site database, and the AI will pick the
right one for the right customer.
4. Enjoy the power of omnichannel personalisation: You can tailor-make buying experiences for
your customers not only on your website, but also the linked mobile site and app, emails, call
centres/support centres, and offline stores. This is achieved by connecting all available data of
users at one easily accessible place from where insights can be derived and used on any sales
platform.

“We trust Certona to serve up amazing, real-time personalisation for our customers…and with
this very short amount of time we have to make a difference in customers’ lives as they prepare
for journeys and adventures… We’ve found that Certona can do [personalisation] much better
than we can. They have a team that is focused on personalisation and data science, so we want
to leverage that.”
Mike Frazzini, Chief Technology Officer, eBags
“Personalisation is important to us at Eyeconic because we have over 2,100 products and over
50 brands so it’s very important we showcase what’s most relevant to that customer. We chose
Certona as our personalisation partner because they are the leader in personalisation. We are
seeing higher conversions from customers that are being recommended products based on their
viewing behaviour or based on a like behaviour.”

CloudEngage: Automated Data
Collection, Personalisation, and Live Chat
CloudEngage is a data gathering and personalisation platform that allows you to deliver seamless
user experiences across different channels. It has 3 products: AIM (for automated data collection),
Chord (live chat), and Platform (personalisation ecosystem).
What features does CloudEngage have?
1. Consolidate visitor data into segments for effective targeting: AIM collects all demographic,
contextual, and behavioural data of your visitors, and Smart Segments allows you to categorise
all this data into segments. AIM will sync your historical and current data, integrating segments,
journeys, and targeting. It adapts to changes in consumer behaviour and changes in your
website and updates the segments based on intent as well, in real time, allowing continuous 1:1
understanding of customers. It also ensures continuity if you transfer from one CRM/CMS/CDP to
another.
2. Access omnichannel personalisation for your visitors: The CloudEngage Platform allows you to
create predictive segments to adapt to the changing visitors and market. You can personalise your
website and apps based on how visitors arrive—emails, products, search, social media, ads, and
live chat. The range of personalisation campaigns available within the ecosystem ensures that every
visitor gets to see the most relevant content and products. You can personalise the following:
a. Website changes
b. Pop-ups
c. Forms
d. In-line messages
e. Alerts
f. Push notifications
g. Images
h. Content
3. Take personalisation to the next level with personalised live chat: Chord is a live chat tool that
combines agent-based chat with machine learning. While customer support agents interact with
users, the AI learns from your conversation and works towards anticipating customer queries and
being ready with answers. The chat interface allows you to share product recommendations,
images, videos, and PDFs, and guide them to the right landing page. Social login requirement of
the chat also gives you the chance to generate leads and target these users further.
4. Get reports that help you decide what you need to do and when: The account dashboard shows
you campaign performance metrics to help you track their progress, wins, and fails. Compare
the performance of your personalised pages versus the default website pages and optimise the
campaigns at the right time in the right way, knowing exactly what’s working and what’s not.
You also get audience insights to help you understand how your segments are changing and
responding to your campaigns. Data derived from Chord are also added to the overall database.

Conver.fit: AI-based Personalisation
Conver.fit is a smart personalisation campaign software based on AI. It has 3 main tools: CDN
Customization, Smartlist, and Customer AI.
What features does Conver.fit have?
1. Customise everything for your visitors: Create personalisation campaigns with an easy-to-use
drag-and-drop editor. You don’t need to know coding at all. You can customise different elements
on your website—images, text, layout, videos, and others—for different audience segments. The
platform creates segments based on behavioural, demographic, and contextual attributes, and you
can choose what kind of personalisation to offer to which segment. Collect and analyse data in real
time with Conver.fit’s advanced dashboard.
2. Let AI take over your product recommendations: The Smartlist algorithm studies your product
catalogue, analyses users in real time, works out the most relevant recommendations, and shows
them to visitors. The AI also stores all behavioural and contextual patterns, allowing it to not only
improve the recommendation with each subsequent visit but also dynamically creating a product
valuation system.
3. Use AI to anticipate customer complaints and solve them faster: Using list forms, you can collect
feedback from customers on-site. The aggregated data aids in preparing a training model for
the AI to predict what problems users have and if they are likely to contact the customer service
department. This means that you will have advance notice of a customer complaint and can have
the solution ready before the customer actually seeks the help of a customer service personnel. This
results in higher customer satisfaction and better user experience.
What will this platform cost you?
Conver.fit has a pay as you go plan, which means that all features are available for all plans; just the cost
will change based on how many visitors your website gets in a month. Here are the details:

value. Create granular segments of your visitors that have one or multiple attributes. The Emarsys
Open Data connector can be linked to your internal systems to create and share reports as you require.

2. Use AI for predictive marketing: Predictive analytics helps you anticipate customer actions and
target them at the right time with the most relevant offers and messages, by closely studying all
customer behaviours, activities, and inaction. Combine AI and Emarsys Tactics to create sophisticated
campaigns quickly. AI can help with finding the right user to target, the right content to show to the
targeted visitor, the right time to deliver a campaign, and the right channel to deliver campaigns on.
3. Personalise your brand and engage with customers on different channels: Leverage user data
and segments to create hyper-personalised user experiences on different channels without losing
messaging consistency across your brand. The tool allows you to create individual use cases and
personalisation variables, which can be grouped together and treated as a template, for faster
generation of tailored and targeted messaging. Leverage AI to improve data segmentation, content
selection, channel execution, and delivery timing. Emarsys allows you to personalise experiences
on the following channels:
a. Email
b. Web
c. Mobile
d. Social
e. Direct mail
f. In-store

4. Automate your marketing and personalisation campaigns: You can define segments, rules,
and triggers to deliver real-time personalised responses to customer actions and behaviours on
your website or app. Use Emarsys Tactics, an automation workflow system, to create complete
customer journeys with triggers, segments, personalisation, and inspirational campaign ideas. You
can create and modify workflows and journeys for any scenario, add channels or branches to them,
duplicate campaigns to use as starting points, and ensure that leads are nurtured and customers
stay engaged and active. Use AI to deliver these messages at the right time.
5. Get all the reports and insights you need: You can get all user and campaign metrics, analytics,
overviews, and insights from the dashboard, including customer lifecycle analytics. Predictive
Analytics lets you track the performance of predictive algorithms and compare them to actual
results. Predictive Revenue Dashboards can be used to plan future campaigns, get insights on
the performance probabilities of each segment, and compare the predictions against industry
benchmarks to determine revenue targets more effectively. You can access business-level reports
from the Strategic Dashboard. This helps you see what the contribution of each campaign is
towards your revenue and growth.

IgnitionOne: Marketing Based on
Customer Intelligence
With advanced customer intelligence capabilities, IgnitionOne allows you to understand
and segment your visitors, personalise their experiences, boost engagement and deliver an
omnichannel experience. The company also offers assisted services for marketing channels such
as social media, email, search, and other online advertising.
What features does IgnitionOne have?
1. Get a centralised view of your users and segment them: Instead of working with fragmented
information about the same customers from different sessions, devices, and channels, allow the
platform to consolidate all user data—from first-party data to third-party data—and give you a unified
view. Use various user attributes to create customised segments to use in targeted personalisation.
With each personalisation, you will also in turn enrich your database about your customers.
2. Personalise your users’ experiences in real time: Increase engagement and foster the relationship
with your customers by delivering personalised messages on all connected channels at the right
time in their journey. You can target your audiences on the website through IgnitionOne Display
and IgnitionOne Website Personalization, on search through Kenshoo, on email through Maropost,
and on social media through Facebook, Instagram, and Google. The platform also helps you
understand which personalisation campaigns result in higher conversions, aiding you to make
improvements in the right direction.
3. Know who your best customers are and who needs to be nudged more: The platform monitors
user interests in real time and assigns an IgnitionOne Score to each customer. This score is indicative
of the level of engagement and likelihood to perform the particular action you’re nudging them
towards. This can help you target the right audience with the right level of attention.
4. Get in-depth analytics and actionable insights: Every data about your customers’ on-site
behaviours and interactions with your brand on different channels and the performance of your
marketing campaigns is monitored and analysed by IgnitionOne. You can get customised and
customer-centric reports and insights and look at all performance metrics at a granular level to be
able to modify or update optimisation strategies as per your business needs.
Integrations:
Google, Facebook, Instagram, Oracle, Optimizely, Kenshoo, Maropost, MovableInk, Flashtalking,
Productsup, Salsify, Tableau, Qlikview, MicroStrategy, Sisense, Domo, Birst, and others.

What IgnitionOne users say
This software has more than 500 clients, such as Mazda, Acer, Volvo Cars UK, Motel 6, Mitsubishi, and
Lindner Hotels.
“IgnitionOne Customer Intelligence gives us unparalleled personalisation capabilities, enabling
us to efficiently reach in-market customers and get better results. Plus, we stay in control of the
customer experience throughout.”
Lance Miceli, EVP, Chief Revenue Officer, G6 Hospitality
“At Volvo we put customers first. IgnitionOne Customer Intelligence helps us ensure our web
visitors receive the right message at the right time, wherever they are in the purchase journey.”
Dave Cottrell, Digital Manager, Volvo Car UK
“Using IgnitionOne’s innovative Customer Intelligence solution for RLSA, we are now able to
target generic search terms that were truly unaffordable previously. Being able to outbid the
OTAs on select customers is turning into a major revenue driver for Motel 6.”

Optimove: Omnichannel Relationship
Marketing Hub
Optimove is, at its core, a CDP with personalisation capabilities. It offers actionable customer
insights, management of customer engagements and communications, and a relationship
marketing bot. It also offers services for predictive modelling, customer success management,
and marketing strategy.
What features does Optimove have?
1. Personalise on multiple channels: Optimove can be used for personalisation and engagement
automation on websites, mobile apps, email, SMS, mobile push messaging, website banner ads,
Facebook Custom Audience, Google Display Network, Twitter Tailored Audience, call centre,
automated calling, and others.
2. Know your customers through their data: By assessing data from all linked tools—raw data
collected by the software, on-site or in-app user behaviour, third-party data, and campaign
response history—Optimove gives you a 360° Single Customer View. This is where you can see
every visit and trackable activity from a customer, compiled into a marketer’s data mart. This unified
view helps you understand your customer one-to-one and customise their experience and journey
on your website/app. You also get in-depth reports on personalisation and relationship marketing
performance.
3. Create user groups through predictive micro-segmentation: The predictive marketing engine
creates granular customer segments that would allow you to recognise each customer and tailor
your offers and messages to them. The prediction engine uses mathematical and statistical models
to transactional, behavioural, and demographic data to forecast future customer behaviour and
value.
4. Define triggers and target the right customer segment with the right message: You can target
different user groups by assigning triggers to different personalisation/engagement campaigns
and activities. When a customer does something that you defined as a trigger, the communication
counterparts chosen by you are activated and messaging is delivered to the customer through
email, pop-ups, push notifications, etc.
5. Test your marketing campaigns: Optimove automatically runs experiments on campaigns by
dividing users into test and control groups. This allows the software to find out the actual financial
performance of the campaign and get realistic reports of campaign success.
6. Manage complex customer journey customisations: You can create dynamic customer journeys
with real-time monitoring of their behaviours and allowing them to choose what they want to do
next. Powered by customer data, prior campaign responses, and predictive behaviour modelling,
the tool identifies the most important intervention points that can be leveraged to optimise
engagement.
7. Leverage on the marketing optimisation bot: Optibot is the company’s built-in marketing
optimisation bot, which uses AI and machine learning to power your campaigns. It has selfoptimising campaigns, wherein the performance of competing actions for each micro-segment
within the campaign’s target group is monitored. This data is then used to steadily align the clusteraction mix for maximum boost, leading to customers receiving campaigns that are the most relevant
to them and is likely to elicit favourable responses.
Optibot constantly assesses customer and campaign performance data and gives you actionable
reports. It makes one-click recommendations on the campaign and its nitty-gritties, which means
you don’t even have to keep monitoring the reports to take action.
8. Combine these with other add-on products: Apart from the core features, you can add the
following products to enrich your optimisation and marketing efforts:
a. Track & Trigger: Real-time audience monitoring, targeting, and messaging
b. Optimail: Email personalisation and delivery platform
c. DynamicMail: Embedding of dynamic and interactive content into emails
d. Optipush: Mobile push messaging delivery platform
e. BI Studio: Native business intelligence reporting system
f. Ad Platform Connectors: Linking of digital advertising campaigns to Optimove
Integrations:
Google Customer Match, Google Display Network, Facebook, Instagram, Salesforce Marketing
Cloud, Mailchimp, Oracle Bronto, Campaign Monitor, Emarsys, Marketo, ActiveTrail, Braze, DotMailer,
and Xtremepush, among others.
What will this platform cost you?
Request the company for a demo or contact the sales team to know more about the packages and cost
of Optimove products and services.
What Optimove users say
Optimove has over 500 clients, including Sephora, Sisal, Staples, Dollar Shave Club, Sweaty Betty,
bwin.party, Stitch Fix, J.Jill, Dynamite, Fortuna, Lottoland, and Zee5, among others.
“Optimove empowers our internal teams to quickly execute and measure the things they want
to do, to proactively influence customer behaviour, to optimise the impact that their efforts are
having over time and to easily showcase to management how their efforts are paying off.”
Emma Crepeau, Vice President of Performance Marketing, Sweaty Betty
“Optimove helps us understand where to focus our limited resources to have the greatest impact
on the business. On a general level, it has turned our entire department into data enthusiasts!
We ‘geek out’ on a daily basis over the near-limitless options we have to customise campaigns
and the actionable insights we see via the reporting.”
Jessica Granata, Director of Digital Marketing & CRM at Paul Stuart
“Optimove has really excelled for us in terms of scope, scale and velocity. We are very happy
with the level of service and responsiveness from Optimove. The reality is that we really wouldn’t
be able to run our business without something like Optimove.”
Charles Thibault, Vice President, Analytics at IDT Corporation

Perzonalization: AI-Based Multi-channel
Personalisation for WooCommerce
Perzonalization is a WordPress plugin to run personalisation campaigns on websites running
especially on WooCommerce. It also integrates with other e-commerce platforms. It can deliver
personalisations on web, mobile, and emails.
What features does Perzonalization have?
1. Customise on multiple channels: You can run personalisation efforts on your website, mobile
apps, and email. The activities can be synced across the channels so that the users get a seamless
experience and not a disconnected one.
2. Get the power of micro-segmentation: Instead of creating siloed segments based on historical
data, the AI categorises your visitors based on their real-time behaviour into dynamic microsegments. It captures changes in user behaviour and updates the segments regularly to make sure
that your personalisation campaigns always remain relevant.
3. Predict user intent and show them the most relevant products: The algorithms analyse visitor
behaviour on different pages and understand the context of a particular visit. Then it predicts what
the visitor may actually be looking for, and shows them products that would get them interested. All
this happens in real time. You can preview and edit recommendation pages to match the design of
your site.

4. Enjoy multiple product recommendation options: There are two ways to recommend products
to your visitors: based on personalisation and based on pre-set rules. The recommendations can
be shown at any point of customer journey—homepage, category pages, product detail pages, no
search results pages, and cart pages. Personalised product recommendations can help you show
your customers the following:
a. Products similar in style and type to what they already looked at
b. Products of the brands that they’ve already purchased or looked at
c. Products viewed or bought by other users in the same segment
d. Products that are similar but have a higher price tag, for up-selling and cross-selling
e. Products related to the keywords visitors searched for to arrive at your site or within your site
Personalised product recommendations can help you show your customers the following:
a. Products that are popular, trending, and/or best-selling
b. Products that have just been added to the catalogue
c. Products they’ve previously viewed
d. Products that complement each other and are ‘frequently bought together’
e. Products that are low-priced and/or have heavy discounts
f. Products and categories they’ve shown interest in
5. Send personalised emails to increase sales and engagement: The tool allows you to send
emails with personalised recommendations—all you need to do is to add a mark-up code into
your existing email templates. The tool links easily with any email service provider. Use AI to track
your visitors’ site behaviour, and then create targeted product recommendation emails and send
them at the right time. You can also automate the sending of emails by defining triggers such as
cart abandonment, long absence from site, product and categories they have previously engaged
with, etc. The emails can be designed and modified as required and different widgets can also be
inserted into your emails.
6. Personalise products for mobile apps: Using a REST API, you can integrate Perzonalisation
with your mobile app as well. This ensures that a customer’s journey between website and app
remains uniform and connected. It also allows you to collect and assess a lot more data about user
behaviour, interests, and intent, improving the recommendation capabilities of the AI.
7. Customise campaign banners for visitors: This allows you to show only relevant campaigns to
your shoppers. For example, if a shopper has reached your site through a Google Shopping ad
for winter clothing and is looking for jackets, then showing them a banner for discounts on floral
dresses is irrelevant. What you can show them is discounts or offers on scarves or parkas as well.
8. Track performance and know what and where you need to optimise: The software also monitors
the performance of each recommendation widget and email. You can see conversion metrics
including what products converted the most, and the contribution and uplift the software brought
to your business.
Integrations:
WooCommerce, Shopify, Opencart, PrestaShop, and Magento, Mailchimp, Bronto, Dotmailer, Splio,
Compost, and Emma, among others.
What will this platform cost you?
This plugin can either be installed as an out-of-the-box app or integrated into your system through API.
The App can be used if your store is on WooCommerce, Shopify, or PrestaShop. The API integration
will be required for Magento and other stores. You can try out the app for free for 14 days, and the API
integration for free for 30 days.

Reflektion: Real-time Intelligent
Personalisation
Reflektion is a customer engagement engine with granular segmentation and real-time
personalisation capabilities. Understand your visitors’ intent, use AI to serve up the right products
and content for them, create seamless experiences across multiple channels, and keep them
engaged to drive up conversions and revenue.
What features does Reflektion have?
1. Serve your customers with a multi-channel experience: Reach your customers where they are
through effective personalisation. Engage with them at all critical touchpoints where they interact
directly with you on website, app, email, search, and even in-store display kiosks and customer
service.
2. Use artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLPs) to personalise everything
for your visitors: This software deploys AI and NLPs to work alongside data and manual efforts to
optimise your business strategies and personalisation efforts. It works on four layers of information
in real time to help you understand your visitors better and deliver highly customised experiences.
These are:
a. Contextual layer: Checks data such as location, season, time of day, traffic source, device, and
browser
b. Cohort layer: Looks at the trending interests, similar interests, and similar user groups at an
aggregate level
c. Individual layer: Checks the visitor’s preferences for price, style, size, and colour
d. Business layer: Considers margin, revenue, and other rules and KPIs set by you
The self-learning algorithms use deep learning, collaborative filtering, neural networks, clustering,
and statistical regression to analyse the data. The NLP understands semantic nuances, making sure
that users get what they want even if the keywords they’re using are not accurate. It also processes
voice commands/virtual assistant queries effectively.
3. Personalise a whole lot of elements in your digital business: You can conduct personalisation
campaigns on the following:
a. Site search (through auto-fills and intent-recognition)
b. Product and content recommendations
c. Console
d. Homepage, landing pages, category pages, and product pages
e. Text, images, banners, CTAs, and any other on-site or off-site content
f. Email content and design

4. Get all the data you need through Customer Engagement Platform: With a centralised view,
the Reflektion dashboard gives you a unified and real-time view of your customers as well as the
performance of your personalisation and engagement campaigns. The analytics dashboard is
interactive and visual, allowing you to easily understand the data and reports while tracking,
evaluating, and optimising your personalisation strategies. You can control and modify your
business strategies by reviewing KPIs at granular levels (site, category, page, product, and
keyword).
5. Get technical value: Reflektion is a cloud-based SaaS platform with robust REST APIs that allows
easy integration with other software. It can read easily and collate data from popular tools for
Product Information Management (PIM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Retail Management
Systems (RMS), CRM, Marketing Automation, and analytics. Its architecture leverages modern
technologies such as MySQL, DynamoDB, Snowflake, MongoDB, and AWS S3 for data storage and
warehousing. Its AI adds value to the existing e-commerce solutions such as Magento, Shopify, SAP
Hybris, Oracle ATG, and Demandware. The real-time data is gathered through Apache Flink and
Spark, and the messaging systems used include AWS Simple Notification Service, Kafka, PubNub,
and others.
Integrations:
Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce
Cloud, Oracle Commerce, Oracle Responsys, Oracle Bronto, IBM WebSphere, Adobe DTM,
Mailchimp, NetSuite, Marketo, Salesforce Pardot, Tealium, and Yottaa, among others.
What will this platform cost you?
Contact the company to schedule a demonstration of the tool, to know what its packages contain, and
what the software will cost you.
What Reflektion users say
Clients of this software include Hanes, Godiva, Marmot, Skechers, Reeds, Ulta, Chico’s FAS, Petco,
Rite Aid, and others.
“We wanted to offer a seamless customer journey on our site. We realised that without Reflektion
it wasn’t.” (Since implementing Reflektion’s solutions, TOMS’ conversions have increased by
3.3% and their average order size by 6.1%.)
Stacy Carpenter, UI/UX Manager at TOMS
“With Reflektion we actually boosted our revenue per visitor 8-9%, by showing other jacket
colours and higher ticket items. With our old solution, we saw products recommended that
weren’t really related to the product page you were on at all, usually what would show up
were just top sellers… Reflektion’s algorithms tied into what the user had been looking at that
session… Being able to change our design with Reflektion, and test with Reflektion was a huge
plus for us because it means we can optimise more and more as we go.”

results than our previous manual merchandising; and the technology to interact with every

Denis Voloski, Operations Manager at Lojas Pompeia

part of the RichRelevance platform: Recommend for Personalized Product Offers. We did this
throughout our website. Soon after, we looked into implementing Discover for personalised
product pages and lastly, Engage, for personalised content and placements. All 3 modules work
great together.”

ESP, Cheetah Digital. And also because SmarterHQ’s Client Success team is one of the best in

UpSellit: Conversion Optimisation and
Personalisation
UpSellit is a conversion- and personalisation-centric platform. Their 4 main features are: Email
ReMarketing, Lead Capture, Targeted Tactics, and Sales Chat. All of them are optimised for
desktop as well as mobile views. The company also offers managed services.
What features does Upsellit have?
1. Evaluate all the necessary data and get insightful reports: The tool, once installed, tracks the
performance of all deployed CRO solutions and collates and analyses all visitor and campaign data.
This then is presented to you with insightful reports to help you optimise your marketing efforts. This
is also very useful in creating and modifying behavioural profiles and segments that you need for
targeted messaging and emails.
2. Target the right people at the right time with the right message: Your conversion funnel is
analysed and synced with real-time data, ensuring that your users get targeted recommendations at
the right time. The proprietary Behavioral Parsing engine studies purchase and browsing behaviour,
which you can use alongside site abandonment detection and mid-session engagement techniques
to increase conversion rates, average order value, and customer lifetime value. Use urgency tactics
such as low stock alerts and the number of shoppers who recently purchased or viewed the item to
drive sales.
3. Recover abandoned carts and leads: Send reminders and personalised recommendations via
email to re-engage with visitors who showed intent to purchase or added items to cart. Encourage
them to give you email ids to know when items are back in stock, and UpSellit’s Stock Sync
technology will study your site inventory to automatically send an email to people who left your site
because an item was not available at the moment. Use the powers of the software’s Abandonment
Detection technology that can forecast the moment of abandonment to launch an engagement
campaign tailored to individual users.
Source: Upsellit.com
4. Capture leads by targeting potential customers: Show personalised incentives to visitors who
enter your site, are about to exit, or have been inactive for some time. Mandate email submission
to receive the offer in order to increase your subscriber base and convert them from visitors to
potential customers. Upon receiving an email id, you can either instantly apply the incentive or
redirect to a remarketing email.
5. Retarget visitors who haven’t converted: The UpSellit PreCapture technology saves lead
information even if the visitor does not submit the form. This will give you enough information
to target them again with a personalised list of products they added to cart or viewed. The
Visitor ID technology identifies returning visitors who provided contact information previously
and remembers their intent and shopping or browsing history to send encouraging emails for
conversions. You can also send customised recommendation emails to existing customers using
data collected through Lead Link technology and urge them to provide ratings and reviews or share
their purchase information on social media.
6. Use on-site chat support to drive conversions: You can engage with abandoning visitors
using instant chat support. UpSellit’s SmartAgent technology can answer hundreds of questions
accurately from knowledge base and database integrations, assist customers effectively, and can be
run 24x7 without needing manual intervention. You could also use Hybrid Chat, which can include
bots as well as live agents, and give comprehensive reports on all chats and actions taken.
Integrations:
Google Tag Manager, Adobe Activation, Magento, Shopify, WordPress, BigCommerce,
WooCommerce, 3dcart, Yahoo Small Business, Signal, Tealium, Apogee, and others.
What will this platform cost you?
The platform has a pay-for-performance price model. This means the price would be based on the
lost conversions recovered by UpSellit. Get in touch with the company to know the details about what
features are available and the actual cost would be.
What Upsellit users say
“The UpSellit team is always on it. They are quick to respond and make sure our needs are
always met. From custom reporting to speedy Q&A, it has been such a pleasure working with
their team. I can’t wait to see the amazing things we continue to create!”

Azetone: UI/UX Analytics, A/B Testing,
and Personalisation
Azetone is a testing, personalisation, and UX analytics platform exclusively for mobile applications
on iOS and Android.
What features does Azetone have?
Source: Azetone.com
1. Split test your mobile app elements: You can perform A/B tests on images, content, colours,
buttons, font and button sizes, position of buttons/images/text, and other elements of your
application. The edits are easy to make and don’t require developer-level knowledge. Experiments
can be run for both iOS and Android apps and rolled out to relevant segments of users identified
through profiling.
2. Map your users’ journey on the app: Heatmaps track your users’ swipes, clicks, scrolls, touches,
and zooms, showing you how they interact and engage with your application. This will help you
figure out what part of the interface is easy for users and what parts are not.
3. Personalise the app for the user: Profile Builder identifies user profiles and allows you to customise
app interfaces to each kind of profile. It’s like having multiple apps within one. You can also let each
user get notifications, pages, and features based on the users’ profile, location, or context. All these
leads to better conversions, higher loyalty and engagement, and customer retention.

HiConversion: Collaborative Optimisation
for m-commerce Businesses
HiConversion works with e-commerce businesses using mobile applications to improve customer
experience, optimise conversions, and increase their ROI. It is not just a tool or agency, but a
community of merchants and experts who share their experiences in mobile commerce and
experience optimisation.
What features does HiConversion have?
1. You join the Mobile e-commerce Optimisation Initiative: When you start with HiConversion, you
don’t just use their software. You join a collaborative community where e-commerce merchants
and experts come together to figure out ways to optimise their apps, customer experience, and
revenue.
2. Choose from over 100 mobile templates to run A/B tests: These templates are built according to
industry standards and by experts, which means you don’t have to always spend too much time on
designs and backend development work. They’re also easy to deploy.
3. Conduct multiple multivariate tests: You can perform many multivariate tests on different site
pages simultaneously and observe their results individually as well as a cohesive whole.
4. Let the AI choose winning combinations: All tests are tracked by artificial intelligence in real time,
which means that winning combinations can be easily identified, grouped together, and deployed
in time to improve ROI and conversions. This also means that losing experiments are stopped in
time to prevent loss of money.
5. Get insights of your site plus others in the community: You get actionable data about your own
tests. But being part of a community means that when you use standard testing templates, you can
access the results and insights of all other merchants or experts who have used the same templates.
The data is anonymous, so you don’t need to worry about your confidentiality.
6. Personalise user experiences for maximum conversion and retention: Create segments of your
users and personalise their experiences by delivering the right messaging at the right point in their
journey. The remarketing feature allows you to link your off-site and on-site marketing campaigns
to ensure seamless messaging to users who interact with your brand on various channels. Set up
optimisation campaigns quickly and without hassle.
7. The data architecture is scalable and not restrictive: The HiConversion data architecture grows
as your app grows and does not require any intervention from your development team to scale up.
How-many-ever combinations of experiments you run, the tool will be able to gather the data and
present them in visual, easy-to-understand ways. It is also easily integrable with Magento, Shopify,
WooCommerce and BigCommerce. You can also get customised integration if you use a different
e-commerce platform. All you need to do is to add a tag to your site for integration.
What will this platform cost you?
The company has not disclosed its pricing. Contact them for more information.
What HiConversion users say
According to the website, 122 experiments have been conducted using the tool by 194 merchants
who have analysed over 6.6 million transactions as on 25 February 2020. The community altogether
has reportedly achieved an average revenue hike of 9.28% per mobile visitor.
Merchants who are part of the collaborative community include Manduka, Brian Tooley Racing, Makari,
Anthem Sports, Thrasher Magazine, and Monkey Sports. Agencies and System Integrators such as
Redstage, Something Digital, Imagination Media, Lima Consulting Group, i.cube, ConvertDigital, and
Mediotype also use this software.
“Running multivariate optimisation campaigns on your site can be a time-consuming and costly
challenge. HiConversion made the optimisation campaign significantly easier to execute, and
we saw improved overall results in both customer experience and top-line sales.”
Chris Hardisty, Head of e-Commerce, Puma US
“HiConversion takes the guesswork out of understanding what our customers want. It has
allowed us to easily test variations of our ideas and get a clear perspective on what resonates
with our audience. We finally feel like we are working smarter no harder.”
Evelina Grines, Director of Marketing and Business Development, Decor Steals

Leanplum: Personalisation and
Customer Engagement
Leanplum helps create cross-channel campaigns and send coordinated messaging to customers
on multiple media—in-app, web, push notifications on app and website, emails, and pop-ups,
thereby driving higher customer engagement and loyalty. It also allows A/B testing of push
notifications, pop-ups, and messages.
What features does Leanplum have?
Source: Leanplum.com
1. Conduct split tests on your mobile messaging: Take out the guesswork and make decisions
according to proven results. Experiment with push notifications, permission requests, user
lifecycle/reactivation/cart abandonment campaigns, promotions and offers, in-app/app inbox/
email messages, sequence/content/images/videos/layout of messages, delivery channels and
timing, deep links, user segments, onboarding tutorials, app content/images/videos, UI, product
flows, navigation, free trials and premium offers, and app logic. You can track the results of your
tests by setting as many goals/KPIs as you need, and get a comprehensive review—both positive
and negative—of your campaigns and their ROI.
2. Create mobile, web, and email campaigns visually: With Campaign Composer, you can create
multi-channel campaigns that take into account user profile and segments to deliver the messaging
to the right people at the right time, in the right way. The visual editor and ready-to-use templates
make it easy to build these campaigns and keep track of your progress. You can see the results of
the campaigns and how your users are responding to the campaigns through analytical reports.
3. Personalise everything: Create, deploy, and automate email campaigns and push notifications as
per the user profile/segment, demographics and location, their engagement level with your brand,
optimal opening time, and their behaviour on your app. Make sure all your messaging across all
channels are integrated and coherent—you don’t even need to create a campaign for each medium
separately. Create customised and engaging in-app messages, app inbox messages, web push
notifications, and unique customer experience as well. The tool also helps you desist from sending
messages at times the user is likely to either not open or ignore.
4. Take advantage of the software’s scalability, security, and reliability: The Leanplum architecture
is built for enterprise: this means that it is high-performing, secure, and scalable. It has partnered
with Google Cloud and has an ISO 27001 certification. Even if you start from a few thousand active
users, you can scale up to millions with deep data tracking. You can send as many as 50 million
messages every hour! The software claims to be able to cope with over 18 billion events and almost
1 billion push notifications every day. The company has a robust customer success team consisting
of tech support engineers and solution architects.
What will this platform cost you?
You will have to contact Leanplum to get a custom quote for your mobile needs.
What Leanplum users say
The website claims that its clients have registered 17% increase in revenue and 9.6% higher
conversions. The top customers are Grab, Zynga, NBC, Tesco, Tinder, and TED.
“Leanplum’s integrated platform for both push notifications and in-app A/B testing is far
superior to managing standalone vendors. With its complete optimisation solution and added
support for email, Leanplum helps us deliver a great app experience to fuel millions of new
connections.”
Maria Zhang, VP of Engineering, Tinder
“Leanplum has given us this ability to see how customers respond to small and large changes to
our apps. The platform’s ease of use, coupled with some excellent support from the Leanplum
team, has helped us to increase our rate of A/B testing and has enhanced our learning of
customer behaviour on apps.”
Lee Mullins, Optimisation Manager, Tesco UK
“Initially, onboarding was the focus, but we wanted to identify new engagement opportunities.
Because Leanplum helped us improve our communication with users through push and inapp notifications, we successfully optimised the entire user journey... leading to huge gains in
revenue.”
Lomit Patel, Vice President of Growth, IMVU

SplitMetrics: A/B Testing for App Store
Listings
SplitMetrics gives you tools to perform split tests of your mobile application in Google and Apple
stores and increase conversions. This means that you’re testing your listing on the app store and
not the app itself.
What features does SplitMetrics have?
Source: Splitmetrics.com
1. Create experiments with ease: All you need to do is select the platform on which the app is (iPhone/
iPad/Android), the element you want to test—screenshots, content, icon, video previews, pricing,
impact of localisation, etc., and the app URL if published. You can test on the app page as well as
search and category pages on the app store. For each type of element that is tested, you can create 2
variations and choose your own images or text for each. You can test and optimise in 14 languages. It’s
also easy to start working on, as the tool doesn’t need any SDK or dev team expertise.
2. Test the app even before launching it: Even if your app is not on any online store yet, you can test
it to a specific group and get feedback on its various facets through surveys, subscription forms,
and pop-ups that can be customised. This will also allow you to collect email ids and leads before
the product is out.
3. Get detailed analytics: The reports generated will provide insights on the performance of
each tested element as well as the other facets of your app store listing, such as Install Button,
Screenshots, Video, Description, Read More, scroll depth heatmaps, time on page, interaction
funnel, traffic sources, and where your users are coming from. For example, screenshot data
include: test winner (with a statistical significance of 85% or more), variation screenshot views, view
rate, total variation visitors, time before view, full-screen opening rate, view duration, views per
screenshot, and installation done after viewing each screenshot—both actuals and averages. All
these give you a clear picture of how a user behaved on your app listing page and allows you to
improve or alter campaigns according to actual data instead of guesswork. You can add colleagues
and clients also to your dashboard, which makes sharing reports and test data easier. The data can
also be downloaded as PDF or CSV files for local viewing, sharing, and analysis.
4. Personalise app pages for your users: Create advanced segments in your reporting to understand
how conversions are different for different kinds of users. This will allow you to create pages
attractive to specific types of users. You’ll also get some preliminary data about your competitors’
performance, giving you the edge you require.
5. Let SplitMetrics Assistant help you: You will receive constant tips and nudges in the right direction
from the SplitMetrics Assistant, which means you don’t have to always be logged in to the software
and look at how the test is doing or the data is moving. You also get tips and best practices on
designing and optimising the app store listing.
6. Enterprise clients also get a dedicated manager: These managers can help through experiments,
analysis, and anything along the way. You can use their App Store Optimisation (ASO) services if
you want to outsource your testing and optimisation programme.
Integrations:
Tune, Applsflyer, Adjust, Google Analytics, Facebook, Typeform, and SurveyMonkey, among others.
What will this platform cost you?
No information about pricing is available on the company’s website. You’ll have to contact them and
request a demo for further details.
What SplitMetrics users say
Top users of this software include Rakuten, Rovio, Reddit, Wargaming, Zeptolah, My.com, and
InnoGames. The company has monitored 50 million users and it claims to have seen up to 15% higher
app conversion rates.
“SplitMetrics provide fantastic way to improve our app store landing page conversion. Which
improves our organic traffic and reduces acquisition costs.”
Rajeev Girdhar, Head of ASO Department, Rovio
“Intuitive and convenient instrument for different test types. SplitMetrics keeps improving itself
offering new ways of conducting experiments.”
Maria Nevoisa, UA Manager, Zeptolah
“The best solution for app store landing page A/B testing and conversion optimisation.”
Yuri Gurski, VP of New Projects, My.com
“SplitMetrics helped us to come up with the best-converting screenshots, eliminating all of the
guesswork. No matter how viral your app is—every download matters.”

App Store Optimisation
(ASO)
You know SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and CRO (Conversion Rate Optimisation)—which
are big if you are an e-commerce site, a services website, or an informational/influencer website.
But if you own an app, the thing you need to be aware of is ASO—App Store Optimisation.
ASO is actually a mixture of SEO and CRO. ASO focuses not only on your app being found on
the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, but also about increasing the number of downloads
and installations and reducing uninstallations.
According to a Statista report, in 2017, 20% users in the US found an app by searching the store,
with recommendation of family or friends coming in second at 15%. Though these figures may
be quite different for the UK, let’s assume it’s the same, for some theorising. Another Statista
report claims that the number of active mobile internet users in the UK would reach 54.21 million
per month. Now, 20% of this would be 10.84 million. So theoretically speaking, in the next 2
years, all mobile apps would be fighting for a bite of this 10+ million users.
But with a humongous number of apps for every purpose on smartphones these days, what
makes your app stand out? How will you persuade users to install and continue its usage?
Remember, if you are not special, they have a tonne of other choices to turn to.
Therefore, a good ASO strategy comprises relevance, keyword research, listing optimisation
for higher ranking in app store search results, persuasive listing design and content for more
downloads, proactive customer complaint resolution and reversal of poor ratings, and most
importantly, constant split testing of content, images, screenshots, videos, icons, pricing, and
CTA buttons, among other things.

StoreMaven: A/B Testing for App Store
Optimisation
StoreMaven allows you to test different elements of your app store listing and their performance.
The tool’s proprietary algorithm StoreIQ helps you get maximum conversions with minimum test
expenses.
What features does StoreMaven have?
1. Test everything about your listing: You can experiment with icons, screenshots, videos, title,
descriptions, ratings, votes, feature graphic and poster frame—practically everything that is part of
your listing on popular app stores. You can create tests in 16 languages.
2. Design app store pages easily: Designers can work together on different layouts, prototype
app pages, make the most of creatives by sharing and accessing it on different devices, share
with others and receive feedback, and receive tips from professionals. There’s no need to exit the
software and share local files via emails.
3. Use the Google Chrome extension for competitor research: With the StoreMaven ASO Chrome
Extension, you can preview any application from any country in any language, browse and work on
any mobile layout of any app store page, and download any creative asset of an app or store to your
desktop.
The tool doesn’t need any technical expertise, integration, or SDK.

StoreMaven plans are customised according to your specific requirements. Contact the company for

What StoreMaven users say
This software’s top clients include Google, Zynga, CNN, Uber, Yahoo, HBO, EA, Expedia, and
Warner Bros.
“StoreMaven is the gold standard for ASO. Their ability to understand our needs and
strategically solve our challenges has had a tremendous impact on our growth.”
Yonatan Maor, GM, PlayStudios
“Working with StoreMaven and coming up with the right test cases is really good practice for all
the things that we do in the growth function.”
Forrest Mertens, Senior Director of Growth, Oath:
“StoreMaven provides us with valuable resources and tools to help build and execute our ASO
strategy and increase app install conversion.”
Sarah Kwan Liew, Manager, Creative and Conversion, Kabam
“We have increased app install conversions by more than 66% after testing content for our stores

AB Tasty: In-depth Testing,
Personalisation, Nudge Engagement, and
Product Optimisation
AB Tasty has a set of optimisation solutions for marketing as well as product teams. Its marketing
suite includes different testing scenarios—A/B/n, Split, Multivariate, and Funnel—and tools to
personalise marketing campaigns for your customers and nudge them into action. This tool also
has server-side testing and AI-powered personalisation capabilities.
What features does AB Tasty have?
Source: AB Tasty
1. Run both client-side and server-side tests easily: With its WYSIWYG visual editor, you can create
experiments without needing to know coding. You can create the following types of experiments:
• A/B/n test: This allows you to develop 2 or more variations of the same page and test and
compare which one is more effective and drives better conversions.
• Split test: This allows you to split traffic among pages on your servers for testing and comparing
the effectiveness and conversion rates.
• Multivariate test: This allows you to test various changes on the same page to check what works
best.
• Funnel test: This allows you to show changes consistently across many pages.
• Server-side test: This allows you to run tests at any point of your customer’s purchase journey,
directly from the server codes.
It also has a dynamic allocation option with which you can automate the testing process and find
winning variations faster and with less manual analytics. You can choose test triggers from a wide
variety of parameters such as location, URL, UTM parameters, purchase behaviour, and your own
audience segments from your Data Management Platform (DMP), among others.
2. Personalise your customer’s buying experience: You can categorise your visitors based on their
behaviour on your site and create targeted marketing campaigns for each group of users. You will
be able to see the performance of each campaign and modify it according to your needs. You can
personalise based on parameters such as:
• Pages: Segregate according to URL, pages with specific elements, or URL patterns.
• Source of traffic: Show your visitors pages and messages depending on how they reach your
website: ad campaigns, referrals, organic search, emails, etc.
• Behaviours: Show a customer the content required to increase your conversions, based on their
scrolling pattern, items they’re adding to cart, when/where they’re exiting the site, when they
made the last purchase, or how long they’ve been inactive on the site.
• Technology: Personalise according to the channel, device, or browser your customers use.
• Segment visitors: Create targeted content and campaigns for high-value visitors who make
bigger or higher-value purchases or frequently come back to your site, through Audience
Builder.
• Integrate with other marketing tools: Link AB Tasty with your existing Customer Data Platforms
(CDP) or DMP and get access to richer data and analytics.
Source: AB Tasty
3. Encourage your visitors to convert: You can use AB Tasty’s Nudge Engagement templates to
encourage your visitors to do more on your website. You can customise the messages and popups they see through a drag-and-drop editor and add social proofs to make them want to buy the
product. You can also decide at what point of the customer’s journey on your website you want
them to see different kinds of messages. The tool also makes sure that all data is captured and
updated in real-time.
4. Control what visitors see and release features gradually with Flagship: Through Feature Flags,
you can define the flags on when to show different features and build in scenarios or conditions to
work alongside those flags. Depending on how your KPIs are performing, you can control which
275
features are shown or not shown to your audience at different times. Flagship can handle the load
of continuous deployment and will take care of quick deployment or rollbacks. With Progressive
Rollout, you can control who can see your new features and the frequency at which features are
deployed. This allows you to track how each feature is performing and how they are received.
Updates coming soon: AB Tasty is developing a Visitor Engagement Score—powered by a transparent
algorithm that can be tweaked to suit specific use cases—which will allow users to build personalisation
campaigns by targeting a visitor’s engagement level.
Integrations:
Google Analytics (GA), Adobe Analytics, Tealium, ComScore, Drupal, WordPress, Mixpanel, Segment,
Clickatell, Temelio, Crazy Egg, AT Internet, CoreMetrics, Piwik, Webtrends, Econda, GoSquared,
SessionCam, Webtrekk, Eulerian, Weborama, and others.

AB Tasty case studies
The software boasts of over 900 clients, which includes L’Oreal, Hershey’s, Cardif, Disneyland Paris,
and Citroen.
Client: Decathlon
Industry: Sports
Goals and results:
• Reducing the choice overwhelm in products felt by shoppers: Social proof was chosen as the
way to nudge website visitors further down the purchase funnel: AB Tasty’s AI-driven Social Proof
widget was added to product pages. The widget dynamically shows the number of times a product
is viewed by other shoppers, giving other visitors an idea of which items are popular. A/B tests for
social proofing were run on 400 product pages. The text was inserted automatically just below the
customer reviews ratings and above the product description.
• 1.5% increase in clicks for all users, and 2.8% for returning visitors
• 2.4% uplift in transactions for all users, and 3.3% for returning visitors
• 1.3% increase in revenue for all users, and 2.8% for returning visitors
Client: Yves Saint Laurent
278
Industry: Beauty
Goals and results:
• Encouraging customers to purchase from the YSL Beauty site rather than from third-party sites:
A/B testing was done to find the best order of the menu bar tabs. The order of ‘New Products’ and
‘Exclusive Offers’ tabs was changed. The test ran on over 150,000 visitors for 1 month. By putting
‘Exclusive Offers’ first instead of ‘New Products’, the following results were achieved:
• 9% spike in access to the basket page
• 13% increase in access to the checkout page
• 10% rise in transactions

Adobe Target: Omnichannel Testing and
AI-based Personalisation
Adobe Target is part of the Adobe Experience Cloud marketing and optimisation suite. It
allows you to create personalised journeys for your website users and make sure your ideas
work through user experiments. It uses artificial intelligence to enrich your optimisation and
automation efforts.
What features does Adobe Target have?
1. Create tests easily: You can conduct A/B tests and multivariate tests (including full factorial) and
run multiple variations at the same time. The visual experience composer allows you to create
test variations and modify them with a simple drag-and-drop process. You can make changes to
images, text, URL, user interface, layout, position—pretty much everything on your page.

2. Test your ideas on multiple channels: The experiments can be conducted not only for your
website but other digital channels such as mobile apps, single-page apps, intelligent devices (IoT),
set-top boxes, ATMs, and kiosks, as well. You can conduct tests both on the client side and server
side.
3. Define testing criteria and reach winning variations faster: You can define what sets of visitors to
show the variations to, choose your success KPIs, and set your sample size before starting the test.
Target not only guides you through the process of creating and launching a test, but also allocates
traffic to winning variations automatically through the multi-armed bandit testing process. It also
tells you about the best-performing variations and combinations and what element of each variation
is the most successful through a neat element contribution report.
4. Build a unified visitor profile and deliver seamless omnichannel personalisation: Thoroughly
assess the data gathered from all your brand assets—website, app, ads, social media, email
marketing, etc.—and imported from your existing CRM/DMP data, to create user profiles and
audience segments. Target brings these data and insights together to create a unified visitor
profile that allows you to personalise 1:1 and seamlessly across media, instead of giving distorted
experiences to the customers. This data is updated in real-time and improvised as each customer’s
interaction with the brand increases.
5. Create your own personalisation rules: You can decide what a user—or groups of users—receives
what kind of personalisation. For example, a special offer can be shown only to visitors who come
to your website through a social media advertisement click, or specific products are recommended
to users who opened your site through organic product search on Google.
Source: Adobe.com Tutorials
6. Or capitalise on the AI, Adobe Sensei, for tailored user experiences: Use one-click
personalisation powered by Adobe Sensei to automate your personalisation efforts. Let the AI
create audience segments and targeting rules based on historical and real-time data about the
users’ demographics, behaviour, and relationship level. Based on these insights, you can also
automate the offers shown to each visitor, personalise their search experience through autofill, and
recommend the most relevant products/content/media to each user.

Apptimize: Testing, Optimisation, and
Feature Management
Apptimize is a cross-channel solution that helps optimise user experience on websites, mobile
web, mobile apps, OTT media, and in-store. Its primary functions are A/B testing and feature
management and it is built specifically for product teams. Apptimize was a mobile app-specific
platform until recently and was extended to include web, OTT, and server, in October 2018.
What features does Apptimize have?
1. Conduct A/B testing on any channel: You can run unlimited split A/B tests for pages and ads on
any platform and monitor the changes and their impact on any channel you may be using. Use its
WYSIWYG visual editor to create A/B tests and run them promptly, and then track the conversion
funnels to see the difference each test makes. Whatever the channel, you can customise the
promotions, features, messaging, or price for your customers, and make sure that the customer
sees the same things on whatever channel they use to get to your website.
2. Control the rollout of features: With Feature Flags, you can release features or personalised UX
to a small number of users and roll them back if they don’t work, whether for the mobile app or for
the web version. You can also control when each feature is released, so that you can track and align
traffic and marketing campaigns.
3. You don’t need a developer to use the tools: Apptimize comes with a detailed SDK that allows
even non-developers to create features and run experiments.

Boxever: Data and AI-driven
Personalisation
Boxever is an omnichannel personalisation platform that uses customer segmentation, user
journey automation, A/B testing and website optimisation, and analytics to drive engagement
and conversions. Boxever Engage is the company’s proprietary personalisation engine, Boxever
OneView is its customer data platform, and BoxeverMail is the email marketing software. It also
offers professional personalisation and marketing services apart from the software package.
What features does Boxever have?
Source: Boxever.com
1. Easily identify and segment your customers: This software uses RFM (recency, frequency, and
monetary) segmentation to assess the value of each customer, identify what part of the journey they
are in, and show the right messaging to them at the right time. It creates behavioural segments
of your audience after analysing their actions and interaction with you on all channels—clicks,
searches, page views, cart additions and abandonments, drop-offs, and gives you as accurate a
customer persona as possible, to allow granular targeting.
2. Customise experiences for your users wherever they are: Your users interact with you on different
media each time, which means that your personalisation campaigns should be linked across
channels. Boxever allows you to run integrated campaigns for web, mobile, email and advertising,
with uniform messaging and uninterrupted experience for each type of user, from the easy-to-use
and -understand interface of Boxever Engage.
3. Advanced AI engine allows you to connect with users through predictive targeting: The
platform’s AI learns with each interaction, and intuitively evaluates and identifies your customers
in order to give them the right experience, message, or recommendations in real time. It can also
predict user behaviour—whether they’re likely to buy another item, open an email at a particular
time, click on a recommendation or pop-up, etc.—through deep analysis of each user’s actions and
interactions with your brand. With Boxever Engage’s real-time and batch decisioning, you will be
able to connect all your data and logic in an instant and deliver seamless omnichannel experiences
to your customers. It also helps you create and manage predictive models.
4. Conduct A/B/n experiments with insights from machine learning: Choose how you want to split
test your personalisation campaigns and website pages—create variations, set goals, and decide
how much of traffic to split across what kind of users. You can create up to 4 variations in production
and 3 in draft. The tool also has a ‘silent testing’ option that is a preview of your testing strategy and
a report of the sample test results to ensure that your experiment achieves the goals you have in
mind.
5. Analyse performance and data as you need: With detailed analytical reports, the software ensures
that you have no dearth of data to make any decision regarding your brand’s digital strategy and
growth. From test reports to personalisation campaign performances to user reports—you can lay
your hands on every little action you use the software for. This gives you an overview, micro-data, as
well as cluster data as you may need.

Bronto: Testing, Personalisation, and
Automation
Bronto Marketing Platform is part of Oracle Netsuite. It is a comprehensive email marketing
platform that offers testing, personalisation, automation, and analytical capabilities.
What features does Bronto have?
1. Create attractive emailers: You can choose from the templates available in the tool or create your
own designs. The visual Bronto Message Editor makes creation and modification easy. The emails
are mobile-responsive and fast-loading as well. You can also create dynamic content blocks to align
with your personalisation rules.
2. Easy creation of subscriber segments: Segmentation makes it easy to define what kind of
customers you want to target. You can create segments using drag-and-drop workflow—you can
either build segments on your own or use templates with over 100 custom fields. You can segment
your email recipients based on location, demographics, purchase behaviour, and engagement
levels. The AI algorithms constantly update the segments in the back end, making sure that they
always stay relevant.
3. Test the conversion possibilities of your emails: Conduct A/B tests with multiple versions of your
emails before sending them out. You can test images, videos, design and layout, text, and subject
line, among others. You can preview the email as it appears to different segments and devices. The
built-in email spam checker ensures that the emails are delivered and visible in the recipient’s inbox.
The tool monitors deliverability rating, sender rating, and deliverability rate.
4. Send the right emails to the right users at the right time: Bronto enables you to send
personalised emails to your users. With predictive modelling in the mix, truly relevant messages can
be sent out. You can send the following types of personalised mails:
a. Cart abandonment and recovery
b. Browse abandonment and recovery
c. Product recommendations
d. Up-selling and cross-selling
e. Personalised offers
f. Order notifications
g. Assistance
h. Loyalty rewards
i. Welcome, thank you, ‘we miss you’, sign-up anniversary, and birthday messages
5. Automate your personalised email marketing campaigns: Using editable templates, create
dynamic workflows to cut out manual intervention in sending emails. Create the design and text
and/or images of emails for various scenarios, and then set rules and triggers to define when to
send which email version to what audience segment. When the user performs one of the trigger
actions, the email will be sent automatically, with dynamic real-time information added in. You
can also define how often a message should be sent and at what time, based on criteria such as
last action on site, previously viewed items, products added to wishlist, cart contents, checkout
progress, etc. You can also exclude shoppers in different workflows or journey levels so that they do
not get any irrelevant message.
6. Create pop-ups on your website: Bronto also allows you to create pop-ups on your desktop
and mobile websites. The creator is graphic and easy to use and can be activated by adding a
code snippet to your website. The pop-ups can be deployed based on users’ on-site behaviour.
You can also conduct A/B tests on the pop-ups. You can use these to capture email ids, get
more subscribers, generate leads, understand user intent, give special offers, or save site/cart
abandonment.
7. Drive your SMS marketing: You can include SMS marketing capabilities in your existing segments
and automation campaigns or have separate workflows for it. They’re also managed by setting rules
and triggers and are sent and monitored in real time. Everything you can do with emails can also be
done for SMS. You can also capture users’ interest with options to reply to the SMS.
8. Incentivise your visitors’ engagement: By using Bronto Coupon Manager, you can add discount
codes to your emails, pop-ups, and SMS. The designs are customisable and coupon codes are
unique and rendered in real time. Expiration dates can be set to ensure urgency is maintained.
9. Get all the insights you need about all linked marketing campaigns: Whatever Bronto tool you’re
using—email, SMS, pop-up, or coupon—all the data is monitored and analysed on the dashboard.
The collection, analysis, update of segments, dynamic inserts for automations, are all done in real
time. Bronto captures website data every 30 seconds. You can see campaign performance reports,
click-through rates, open rates, bounce rates, deliverability reports, revenue per campaign, revenue
per message, device-wise performance, and even heatmaps for emails.

What DotDigital users say
This platform has more than 4,000 brands as clients, including Virgin Active, British Airways, TM Lewin
London, icelolly.com, Jet2.com, Barbour, Team GB, MrBeer, and CityLit.
“We worked closely with the guys at dotdigital to create a map of the various on-site touch
points and mapped out an email communication strategy that best allowed us to engage and
convert these visitors, serving them relevant email content every step of the way… Having the
systems integrated and talking to each other means we can segment in dotdigital Engagement
Cloud correctly, ensuring those that do convert are then removed from certain programmes and
added to others… dotdigital as an ESP allows us to complement our other digital marketing
channels, supplying us with an easy-to-use, automated system that makes our ability to convert
and engage people much easier.”
Oliver Bedford, Online Marketing Manager, Leisure Pass Group
“With dotdigital automated programmes, we’ve been able to better understand the shopping
behaviour of our customers. This has enabled us to segment our customers and helped
us approach them with tailored campaigns catering to their personal interests. The email
marketing campaigns, such as the sign-up, welcome series, and abandoned cart programs
have all performed exceptionally.”

Dynamic Yield: Omnichannel Testing,
AI-Based Personalisation, and Data
Management
Dynamic Yield is a testing and personalisation platform that allows you to conduct different types
of statistical tests on multiple channels and personalise your content and recommendations for
different user segments using AI and predictive targeting. It also offers data management and
behavioural targeting.
What features does Dynamic Yield have?
1. Personalise uniformly across channels: Achieve omnichannel personalisation by linking customer
profiles and delivering seamless experiences to each customer across web, mobile, ads, and
email. You can create Multi-Touch Campaigns (MTCs) that connect user experiences at different
touchpoints of the user journey within one overarching experiment.
2. Conduct client- and server-side optimisation tests: You can experiment anywhere in your tech
stack and continuously improve your business using machine-led optimisation. You can experiment
and optimise content, product or content recommendations, notifications, overlays, and more.
You can create and modify pages, its elements, and their positioning using a WYSIWYG editor and
ready-to-use templates. The platform offers Bayesian and multi-armed bandit algorithms to optimise
tests, which means traffic is automatically allocated to the best performing variation in real-time. You
can go for an API-only integration, a client-side-only deployment, or a hybrid mode where you use a
mix of server-side APIs and client-side scripts.
Source: Dynamic Yield
3. Manage customer data and create targetable user segments: Onboard and connect all available
user data from existing online and offline software such as ESPs, CRMs, DMPs, and POS solutions,
in addition to the real-time data gathering the platform does. Dynamic Yield will allow you to
explore this data and identify the most valuable user segments/profiles/groups based on a host
of parameters; you can also create segments based on your requirements. If you have multiple
domains and marketing channels, you can even share this data amongst them to enhance the
personalisation experience across your user base.
4. Target the right user with the right content/product: By creating a range of targeting rules, from
simple to sophisticated, you can deploy personalised experiences for each user segment—even for
anonymous users—through real-time identification of preferences and intent. Dynamic Yield uses AI
to automate the targeting of messaging, overlays, product and content recommendations, social
proof, and notifications. These can be based on predefined rules and triggers as well as by AIforecasting of user behaviour and intent. Additionally, Dynamic Yield’s Predictive Targeting solution
uncovers personalisation opportunities, allowing you to deploy the optimal targeting set-up and
drive the most revenue uplift.
Source: Dynamic Yield
5. Get extensive reports and insights from your campaigns: Set your own goals and KPIs and
measure the performance of your tests against them. You can monitor overall site performance
300
along with the rest of your personalisation experiments and activities. Understand how audiences
are impacting your business, see which campaigns are still awaiting statistical significance, and
evaluate how recommendations are driving revenue. You will also receive in-depth reports on the
performance of tests as well as personalisation campaigns.
6. Get technical expertise and support: Dynamic Yield’s platform is easy-to-use and built for
both non-technical business users as well as seasoned engineers. Beyond the tool, you can find
extensive documentation and best practices within its Knowledge Base and have access to support
from experts when it comes to use cases, strategy, and execution.

Testimonial:

it is tailored to the individual. We wanted to really take how personal traditional suit shopping
is and recreate that for our e-commerce customers, and Dynamic Yield has provided us with the
tools we need to match, fit, and meet their needs.”
Matthew Henton, Head of e-commerce, Moss Bros.

tailored based on local weather conditions, affinity to certain products, and current cart value.
• Split tested mobile product pages: 9% rise in revenue per session achieved through testing the

strategy. Upon serving a large cluster of segments content that related exclusively to news about

engagement.

experience. The system is pivotal to driving our online offering, allowing us to deliver the greatest
possible relevance to our fans throughout the online journey. This has helped drive improved

Episerver: Customer-centric Digital
Experiences
Episerver allows you to focus on creating optimal customer experiences through a robust content
management system, personalisation, and artificial intelligence. It has 2 key integrated products:
Episerver Content Cloud and Episerver Commerce Cloud. It also offers managed and expert
services.
What features does Episerver have?
1. Personalise across channels: With Episerver you can personalise visitor experiences on desktop
and mobile web, mobile apps, email, SMS, and in physical stores.
2. Deliver personalised product and content recommendations: AI figures out the interests and
intent of visitors and predicts what products and content they would like; you do not have to set
rules and triggers. You can, however, define strategies for each kind of page to guide the AI towards
delivering the kind of personalisation that is useful to both the user and your business. This allows
you to create hyper-personalised journeys for each user in real time, right from the first page that the
visitor sees upon arrival on your site or app. It also gives visitors an intuitive guided navigation. Send
recommendations and special incentives via email based on triggers such as cart abandonment, form
abandonment, browse abandonment, product or pageviews without any action, etc.
3. Personalise the search experience: Using AI-gathered information about past purchases and
browsing behaviour of users, the tool shows them personalised search results and rankings
and helps them search faster through easy navigation, auto-complete, and related queries. This
makes the experience more relevant to each individual visitor. It also helps you reduce manual
merchandising and show dynamic landing pages to each visitor. Customers can also use filters to
further customise their search results.
Source: Episerver.com
4. Experiment with webpages and messages: Conduct A/B tests on website changes and
personalisation campaigns. The functionality is integrated in the Episerver Digital Experience Cloud
and doesn’t need to be separately installed. You get different testing options, allowing you to make
changes to entire webpages or specific elements.
5. Use user-generated content for higher conversion: You can collect ratings and reviews,
moderate them, and display them in the right way to add social proof to your product listings. The
tool also allows you to create and manage personalised social communities for your brand and
control and edit comments to ensure that only useful and compliant reviews are shown.
6. Create and manage merchandising campaigns: Make creative digital commerce campaigns with
personalised offers and targeted promotions using Episerver Campaign Management. Real-time
data monitoring allows you to find trends and hidden targeting opportunities. You can set revenue
goals and see how the campaigns are performing against these goals.
7. Automate your marketing campaigns: Create campaigns for desktop and mobile websites,
emails, and SMS using a graphic editor and either have it running automatically or set rules to
determine when a campaign should be delivered. With all the personalisation, triggering, and
testing features available in the tool, it’s easy and convenient to set up automated marketing
campaigns.
8. Get a complete overview of your visitors and campaigns: The tool tracks all data about users,
campaigns, A/B tests, and automations, and gives you easy access to reports, analytics, and
insights. Add third-party data into the software to aid the ongoing and real-time user data-gathering
and segmentation.
9. Focus on collaboration and teamwork: The Episerver platform is collaborative in nature, meaning
all kinds of communication exchange—in-app chat, workflows, and projects—and sharing can
be done directly on the tool. Campaigns and promotions can be managed easily and previewed
before go-live. It also allows you to manage and edit all content assets such as images, videos,
and files, and monitor and control their usage across campaigns. You can divide the content into
smaller blocks so that it becomes easier to reuse. Its advanced authoring interface is easy to use,
responsive, and helps you create and manage content layout and brand consistency effectively.
10.Get back-end support for business management: Episerver has catalogue management, a
customisable checkout process, and customer care console for e-commerce. You can up-sell
and cross-sell products, and see overviews of customers and orders, RMA (Return Merchandise
Authorisation) management, and customer impersonation. Global Commerce for Commerce
Cloud gives you the power to localise the relevance and experience of your global products. For
the Content Cloud you get a headless API with which you can use the CMS platform as coupled,
decoupled, and headless architecture. You can pull content directly from CMS without having to
go through the presentation stack or item ID all the time.
11.Enjoy a robust architecture: You get 24x7 support and the performance of the product is
constantly monitored. All software updates are also deployed in a timely and regular manner.
Episerver is built on Microsoft Azure, and gives you scalability, speed, and security. The integration
with Microsoft Dynamics 365 also adds to the power to deliver a seamless commerce experience in
a faster and more secure manner.
Integrations:
Google Analytics, Office 365, Sharepoint, Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP and CRM, Salesforce CRM,
Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Salesforce Pardot, IBM Watson, HubSpot, Marketo, Klarna, Mastercard,
Paypal, Yottaa, Eloqua, Luminosity inRiver, TextMetrics, Verndale, Geta, and Coria, among others.

Evergage: Personalisation and Analytics
Evergage helps you provide one-to-one experiences for your audiences through machine
learning, data analytics, segmentation, and targeting. You can personalise for audiences
wherever they are interacting with you—website, web app, mobile app, email, search, ads, or
direct interaction with support/customer care centre. It has 9 modules that help you achieve your
conversion and personalisation objectives: Contextual Bandit, Evergage Recommend, Evergage
for Email, Evergage for Mobile Apps, Evergage SmartSurveys, Evergage Integrations, Data
Warehouse, Data Science Workbench, and Evergage on the Go.
What features does Evergage have?
1. Link customer data from various platforms and analyse them: Evergage CDP collects data—
both how customers behave on your site and what each user is engaged with on the site—for
every individual/account that engages with your company’s website, web app, or mobile app.
If you have existing customer data pools from CRM, marketing automation tools, or even data
warehouses and POS systems, they can be linked and cross-referred using Evergage Gears, for a
more fulfilling customer service and user experience enhancement.
Source: Evergage.com
2. Identify your customers: The software uses identity schema such as name, email, hashed email,
phone, address, cookie, mobileID, corporate ID, and loyaltyID to create segments and classifies
your customers. Information such as source, assignment date, trust level, and merge history are also
collected for each identifier. In addition, information such as location, email or ad campaign source,
referring site, IP address, device type, and operating system are also noted. This helps you remove
user anonymity and offer one-to-one granular personalisation to each user.
3. Analyse and segment the data for better personalisation: You can organise the profusion of
data into segments, evaluate them to find patterns, and understand your users better. The tool
helps you understand user intent, interests, and context. All this, in turn, will help you create useful
and granular segmentation rules for your marketing campaigns. Segmentation will also allow
you to send the most relevant recommendations and messages via email or web/mobile push
notifications to each customer segment and/or individual users based on pre-defined triggers.
The data will also enhance the AI’s capabilities for cross-platform personalisation and increasing
relevancy of recommendations.
4. Quick and easy personalisation platform: The tool leverages both historical and real-time user
behaviour to deliver the fastest customisation possible. With an intuitive and visual editor, creating
new content or making changes to AI-suggested campaigns for any channel, is fast and easy.
Source: Evergage.com
5. Test personalisation campaigns on multiple channels before rolling them out: Conduct A/B
as well as multivariate tests on personalisation campaigns not only for your websites but also for
emails and mobile and web applications. You can create, edit and customise the tests and traffic
distribution as per your business objective. The results can be tracked in real time. Both positive and
negative lifts over control for each test is automatically calculated, which lets you analyse campaign
performance for any goals or KPIs. You can validate your test results using Evergage’s confidence
rating that uses Bayesian statistics.
What will this platform cost you?
The cost of this tool depends on the number of websites, mobile and/or web apps, email, search,
unique visitors per month, and user volumes you have, and the add-on modules you choose. Evergage
offers 2 packages: Evergage Core and Evergage 1. The table below shows what is available in each

Exponea: Customer Data Management
and Personalisation
Exponea helps you improve user experience with your brand by combining insights from
customer data and through 1:1 omnichannel personalisation. It has 6 core features: Exponea
Core, Omni-channel Orchestration, Web Optimisation Platform, Product Recommendations, Realtime Customer Predictions, and Exponea BigQuery.
What features does Exponea have?
1. Explore the power of personalisation through Single Customer View: Exponea Core links all the
modules of the software and combines all the data gathered, to show you a comprehensive view of
your audience profiles. This gives you historical, real-time, as well as predictive information about
different users. Armed with insights from detailed analytics and the power of Exponea’s machine
learning, you can create and deliver personalised experiences for your users at various touchpoints.
2. Reach out to customers where they are: Exponea ensures that your customers get similar
personalised experiences whichever channel they use to interact with your brand. You can
sync your marketing efforts and personalisation on the website, mobile apps, email, and SMS.
Customising the various content assets on a page/email is easy with the drag-and-drop editor, and
ensuring they’re linked is simplified by the integrated campaign manager.
Source: Exponea.com
3. Test webpage optimisation ideas in real time: Perfect your web optimisation strategies as well
as marketing campaigns through A/B testing with multiple designs at the same time and realtime reports on how the experiments are performing. Show personalised messages and push
notifications to your visitors with website overlays.
4. Improve user engagement through product recommendations: By understanding your users’
preferences through analysis of past and current behavioural and attribute data collected from
different channels, you can make on-page and off-page product recommendations more relevant to
them. Exponea’s adaptive algorithm will choose the best possible recommendation model based
on the nature of your business, your KPIs, and ongoing trends. This will ensure that they find value in
dealing with your brand and come back for more.
5. Forecast user behaviour and be more accurate in your marketing efforts: Exponea’s predictive
algorithm helps you understand what stage of relationship with you each customer is in, and what
actions they are likely to take next. This will help you direct your marketing efforts towards them in
an individualistic manner rather than in an en-masse and irrelevant manner. For example, high-value
customers can be targeted with more relevant product recommendations, and drop-off customers
can be enticed with offers on what they viewed or abandoned at cart most recently. Prediction reports
are available in an easy-view template, which you can filter down to what you really want to see.
6. Analyse every datapoint you gather through Exponea BigQuery: BigQuery collects customer
data across all channels continuously and gives you reports. You can link any analytics or business
intelligence tool with BigQuery and read the data the way you want to, whenever you want to.
You can decide how long you want the data to be available, without worrying about storage or
security. The data is stored with several layers of encryption, is constantly backed up, and regularly
checked and proactively protected against threats. Any changes made to your data over time is also
recorded, and all previous versions saved as well, which means you can revert to an older version in
case of an unwanted or unwitting alteration.
Integrations:
Google Big Query, Google Cloud, Google Ads, Google Marketing Platform, MySQL, SQL Server,
Mailjet, Mailgun, Sendsay, Mandrill, Unisender, Facebook Ads, Adform, Shopify, Amazon Alexa,
Zapier, and other custom integrations.
What will this platform cost you?
You can purchase either the Exponea CDP or the CDXP. CDP contains only the customer data platform,
while CDXP contains customer data platform as well as AI-based analytics and campaign execution tools.
The cost of these packages depends on the number of page views on your website per month, the number

what aspects of personalisation you’re interested in, and what extra features you would like.
What Exponea users say
The software’s clients include Missguided, River Island, Arcadia, Designal, Benefit, Fitflop, Sofology,
ebuyer.com, Agent Provocateur, O2, and EDF Energy.
“Certainly, one of the key advantages of working with a platform like Exponea is that it offers
us much more than just email marketing. And one of the key initiatives for us at Missguided is
that we want to be present where our customer is present and communicate to her in a channel
that she is most responsive in. The testing that we’ve done on optimal send time helps us to
understand the positive impact that we can achieve if we send that email at the right time
on open-rate, click-through rate, and conversion rate. And in addition, the ability to include
personalised products in emails also demonstrates that at scale this has the potential to
significantly improve our conversion rate… It’s great to find a partner who thinks the same way.”
Nicola Fox, Head of CRM, Missguided

“Exponea’s professionalism and quality of response has shone through at all stages of the

“Exponea’s powerful communications platform and predictive analytics capabilities were the
perfect fit for our business.”

Mailchimp: All-in-one Marketing Suite
Mailchimp is a leading marketing software with features for all kinds of marketing requirements.
Whether you’re looking for email marketing, website-building, social media marketing, or
customer relationship management, Mailchimp has it all.
What features does Mailchimp have?
Since this is an all-in-one marketing platform, it has innumerable features. We highlight the important
ones below:
1. Create professional and branded emails: Pre-set and custom email templates to choose from,
easy visual drag-and-drop email creator, and cloud storage for your photographs and content assets
mean that your emails will look great and will have higher chances of being delivered to inbox and
not spam folder, opened, and clicked on.
2. Split and multivariate test the emails: You can test subject lines, sender name, content, and
sending time for emails. Up to 3 versions of each campaign can be tested at the same time.
Multivariate testing is only available for premium users, though, and you can test up to 8 versions
of campaigns simultaneously for that. Set your own goals to decide the winning email—email open
rate, click-through rate, or revenue gained from each campaign—and let Mailchimp take care of the
rest. Once the test goals are achieved, the software will pick the winner and send it out to your preset email list.
3. Personalise and automate your engagement with customers: By segmenting your contacts
based on various parameters, you can engage with them and increase loyalty via personal
messages, relevant emails, pop-ups, special offers, or social media ads, based on their individual
behaviour or profile. All of these communications will be automatically created for you—all you
need to do is edit and vet them. You can also share email campaigns on social media with one click
instead of having to create a separate social post. Emails can also be customised and automated
by inputting trigger criteria. The tool’s predictive analysis also allows you to understand your users
better and create marketing strategies with a higher success ratio.
4. Identify potential users through lookalike audience finder: Apart from making the most of your
contact list and existing and new users coming from common channels such as search and paid
efforts, find out where and how to attract potential users. Lookalike Audience Finder uses the
internet’s vast database to find people with interests similar to your existing customers.
5. Get all the data you’d ever need: The smart dashboard gives you real-time as well as historical
data on campaigns running through Mailchimp on any channel. Engagement reports will aid your
understanding of your customers, while growth and revenue reports will be key to understand
where you got your money from and what part of the campaign pushed your users to purchases.
Competition email reports show how the email campaigns of other companies in your domain are
doing, helping you fine-tune your own strategies.
6. On-the-go creation and monitoring with Mailchimp app: With the Mailchimp app, you can
create and edit emails. It’ll notify you of your campaign’s performance and what needs to be done
to improve its success rate. You can see the dashboard and access and review data and campaigns
from anywhere at any time.
7. Other things you can create, publish, and track with Mailchimp are:
a. CRM – Link your contacts, organise them into segments and tags, and understand your
customers better
b. Forms – Create as pop-up, sidebar, footer, or anywhere, and share on any channel
c. Social media posts and ads – Both organic and paid, new and retargeting
d. Landing pages – Professional and conversion-focused templates
e. e-commerce pages – Without extra integrations, everything from product to cart to payment pages
f. Personal postcards – Mailchimp will send them to recipients once you design it. If you don’t
know the mailing address, the software’s address finder will get it from email ids.
Integrations:
With over 200 other tools. Google, Facebook, Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce,
Drupal, 3DCart, WordPress, Salesforce, Zapier, Hootsuite, Eventbrite, Canva, Formstack, Instapage,
LiveChat, and Leadpages, among others.

Steven Carse, co-founder of King of Pops

Josh Skinner, Studio Manager, R. Wood Studio

Mixpanel: Analytics and Engagement
Mixpanel is not just about personalisation and testing; it also deals with data analytics and
management in depth. It allows you to get a comprehensive understanding of your user and
provide them with curated experiences.
What features does Mixpanel have?
1. Understand and analyse your users: The behavioural insights platform of Mixpanel allows you
to understand your users at an individual level, and also compare and contrast how different user
groups behave. You understand customer experiences better on your website or app, compare
funnels and user journeys to know where you can engage them better, and understand the effect of
new features on your app or site on returning users.
You can compare the behaviour of different user segments and track a segment or groups of
segments to know and nurture account health and asset lifetime value. The centralised dashboard
allows your team to collaborate, receive customised notifications about the metrics key to your
business, and get email roundups about important datapoints. You can also export the raw data
for offline use. The platform allows you to manage all your data efficiently, make sure it’s accessible
to everyone in your organisation who needs to see/use it, and keeps the data clean, securitycompliant, and understandable.
2. Use predictive analytics to serve up better user experience: Based on past and on-site behaviour
of users, Mixpanel’s predictive analytics model to forecast what actions users are likely or unlikely
to take on your website. This can help you to not only make the UX better for loyal users but also to
identify and target customers who have the potential to be loyal and those who you are at the risk of
losing with the right messaging and offers.
Source: Mixpanel.com
3. Create segments for targeted personalisation campaigns: Use demographic and behavioural
data of users to create segments or groups. These segments can be as specific and granular as you
want. Personalisation campaigns and tests can then be customised for each of these segments
for better impact. You can define behavioural triggers (what prompts the message to be shown),
sequences (in what order the messages should be delivered), and rate limits (how often they are
delivered) so that each campaign remains relevant, timely, and well-paced.
4. Test out messaging on websites as well as mobile apps: Create personalised messages and test
different campaigns not only on websites but also on mobile apps. Test and customise web and
mobile push notifications, in-app messaging, email, or SMS as per your personalisation strategy. You
can run simple to complex A/B tests that can be created easily using visual editor and code editor.
5. Get custom alerts on data fluctuations: If key metrics are rising or dipping suddenly, the software will
notify you about the changes in order to help you to act quickly. You will also be able to see what user
segments and customer behaviours are leading to changes in your KPIs or better conversions.
6. The software architecture is scalable and robust: Mixpanel handles over 9 trillion data points
every year, which means it can handle high volume of data with ease. Moreover, your data is
assessed in less than a minute, giving you access to real-time analytics. The platform has an
ingestion and query uptime of 99.9%, which means it is reliable and you don’t have to wait for your
data or be scared of losing it. It is also compliant with GDPR and Pci-DSS, and uses Privacy Shield
framework, which ensures security of your data. It offers flexible APIs to export data into third-party
or your own dashboard/tools, among others.

Monetate: Omnichannel Optimisation
Intelligence, Testing, and Personalisation
Monetate is an optimisation intelligence and personalisation engine that allows you to
improve conversions and sales of your website through A/B & Dynamic Testing, Product
Recommendations, Audience Insights, and 1-to-1 Personalisation. Monetate is also a key element
in the broader Kibo Personalization Commerce Cloud, enabling personalisation across the entire
user journey.
What features does Monetate have?
Monetate delivers best-in-class solutions for e-commerce optimisation and personalisation, designed
from the ground-up for marketers.
1. Conduct omnichannel tests with ease and confidence: You can create A/B tests, multivariate tests,
and dynamic tests, for websites, single-page apps, and other digital channels. You can conduct tests
on both the client and server side. The advanced dynamic testing feature allows you to automate
experimentation; experiment results are tracked in real-time and traffic is automatically reduced from
the losing variants and allocated to the winning variant. This saves you both time and resource—there’s
neither a need to wait to reach statistical significance nor to manually monitor the test results.
2. Create audience segments and target the right people with the right messaging: With advanced
segmentation and targeting capabilities, Monetate allows you to segment messaging and content
to different customers based on behavioural data. By identifying user actions and intentions on your
digital property, you can trigger messages and encourage engagement and conversion at the right
moment—for example, messages can be sent automatically to first-time users for discount coupons,
special offers can be presented to users about to exit the website/app, or product recommendations
and urgency messages can be sent via email to users who abandoned their cart.
Source: Monetate
3. Personalise at scale: Use out-of-the-box, in-session and behavioural data, or pull in your own
first or third-party datasets to feed into Monetate’s decisioning engine—enabling scalable 1:1
personalisation. You can deliver omnichannel personalisation online, in-store, as well as at call
centres. The tool’s AI algorithms constantly learn through every new interaction alongside learning
from historical data, allowing you to understand your customers better with time. This can help
create strategies to drive relationships and loyalty.
4. Get Advanced Merchandising features: You can deliver recommendations using manually
curated or algorithmically driven recommendations across even the most complex product
catalogues. Monetate’s product badges help you highlight relevant messages and target visitors
dynamically based on what audience segments they belong to. Scale, automate, and test
recommendations and badging strategies while staying in control.
5. Create a unified customer profile: The tool helps you gather and evaluate customer data from
third-party sources, your own CDP/DMP, and its own database. This helps you create a unified
customer profile from across different channels, helps you understand a visitor better, and allows
you to give seamless experience to each user on different channels.
6. Get in-depth analytics and audience insights: Real-time analytics and behavioural insights provide
users with control over experiences whilst also assisting with ideation, iteration and helping to
develop a deeper understanding of your customers. Learn exactly what works and why, so that you
can build customer intelligence and discover new audience segments.
Source: Monetate
7. Access data from different platforms: Monetate is an open-access software in which you can
pool in data from different databases such as MySQL, Amazon Redshift, or business intelligence
platforms. Native integration is possible with popular tools such as Google Analytics and Adobe
Analytics. With all this, the tool can give you in-depth data evaluation and reports that can power
your business strategies and growth.
Integrations:
Monetate’s open architecture allows API calls to be set up with a huge swathe of technologies. In
addition, out-of-the-box integrations exist with Google Analytics, Contentsquare, Tealium, Adobe
Analytics, Decibel Insight, Clicktale, SessionCam, Segment, mParticle, Contentstack, and Google Ads.
Updates coming in H1 2020
• Audience Discovery: Recognising a long-standing industry challenge, this product release will
empower platform users to understand their segments, and how they should be targeting them.
The feature will use machine learning to cluster audiences based on customer behaviour and value.
These audiences will then be available as targets to be included in experiences. Long-term, the
325
goal is for Audience Discovery to incorporate customer behavioural data from other data sources to
improve the audience creation process (including lifetime customer value) and automatically deliver
relevant experiences to each audience in a programmatic manner.
• Advanced Recommendations: Building on Monetate’s existing Intelligent Recommendations
function, the platform will soon include open-time product recommendations for email, slotting
capabilities, and an expanded library of algorithms and recommendation strategies.
• Personalised Search: Users of the platform will soon have the tools to leverage Monetate’s existing
easy-to-use interface, and powerful decisioning engine to deliver hyper relevant Personalised
Site Search and Predictive Visual Search. Personalised Category Pages will be released alongside
Personalised Search, allowing in-session behaviour to drive personalised listing page results by
dynamically sporting the product grid for each visitor.
What will this platform cost you?
Monetate price based on traffic volumes, making the solution a viable option for both modest and
leading brands. Contact the company to know more about their pricing plans.
Monetate case studies
Clients of this software include Hot Topic, National Geographic, J.Crew, Wrangler, Patagonia,
Timberland, Waitrose, and Acuvue.
Client: Waitrose
Industry: Retail
Monetate client for 5 years
Goals and Results:
• Driving engagement and click-through rate on featured content: Personalised the recipes page
by delivering 1:1 Personalisation, which was then moved to the homepage and increased trial
experience CTR by 66.8%. Further insights revealed that certain types of recipes are popular on
certain days of the week.
Testimonial:
“[When trying to decide which contextual factors would be most influential in determining the
best recipe to display to each customer] Monetate suggested that Individual Fit Experiences
would be the perfect way to test this. Instead of us trying to decide which customer should see
which type of recipe, why not let the machine decide?... We still feel like we’ve only just tapped
into the benefits that Monetate can bring. We’d like to do a lot more… We want to be able to
provide our customers with relevant content and product suggestions in the same way they
could ask a partner in store for advice. We can deliver some of that personal feeling with the
quality of our content and products, but AI allows us to scale up and automate so that we can
give more of our customers that richer experience. And Monetate is the partner that we trust to
help us achieve that.”
Jane Godfrey, Digital Optimisation Manager, Waitrose

“Monetate was about empowering us to do our own changes, using the resources we have
combined with the power of the platform… Within our first four or five experiences with
Monetate we saw a huge incremental uplift in revenue of at least 15X ROI. [Server-side testing
capability of Monetate] gave us a huge amount of confidence to actually drive bigger, more
complex, and deeper experiences; even multi-page experiences that we never would have been
able to execute before without flicker or delay on big imagery changes.”

Nosto: e-commerce Personalisation and
Intelligence
Nosto is an AI-driven personalisation engine for e-commerce businesses that allows you
to provide 1-to-1 personalised content and recommendations to your users across various
touchpoints and channels.
What features does Nosto have?
1. Empower your personalisation with omnichannel capabilities: You can customise your product
recommendations and content for users across different channels, including web, mobile apps,
email, and in-store.
2. Recommend the right products to customers: The Ecommerce Intelligence Engine visitor profiles
by evaluating the unique browsing and buying behaviours of your users, allowing you to customise
experiences for them. The engine recommends products that are trending and the most relevant to
each user in real time, making the experience easy and engaging to your visitors, encouraging them
to visit again and purchase more.
The features of Onsite Product Recommendations include dynamic bundles (related products in the
“shop the look” format), best-sellers and trending products, personalised landing pages, search
recommendations, up-selling, and cross-selling (related products based on browsing and purchase
history of the user as well as others in the same or similar segments), and user-generated content
(social proofing such as ratings and reviews).
3. Recommend the right content to customers: Nosto’s Onsite Content Personalization capability
allows you to personalise what content each customer sees. The features of this capability are:
personalisation of key landing pages, customisation of shopping experiences for each user using
insights from AI, personalisation of any element on any page or store, analysis of results, and a visual
interface that doesn’t need any of your team members to have technical knowledge.
4. Create audience segments and target them effectively: With Segmentation & Insights, user
groups are constantly updated through tracking of real-time and on-site behavioural data, ensuring
that your personalisation efforts don’t stagnate. The key features are deep insights about your
customers, capability to import existing visitor segments and data, the ability to create your own
segments in the tool, constant updates to segmentation, and maximising the ROI impact of your
marketing spends.
5. Test webpage variations and enjoy continuous optimisation: Nosto’s A/B Testing & Optimization
has the following features: campaign testing wherein you can experiment with different variants of
the same page element, experience testing where various elements on the same page or across
pages can be tested, automatic traffic diversion to winning variants of tests to give continuous
optimisation, and Merchandising Insights to understand how your tests and personalisation efforts
are affecting your sales.
6. Use personalised pop-ups to reduce visitor friction: With Onsite Pop-ups, you can show
customers special offers and one-time discounts to prevent them from dropping off the funnel
without completing a transaction. The salient benefits of this feature include the ability to deploy
pop-ups based on user segments, AI predictions, behaviour-based rules, on-site triggers, bringing
own instances of cart abandonment, increasing email subscriptions, and retaining hesitant
customers.
7. Use personalised emails to uplift sales: You can use the AI’s recommendation capabilities
not only on webpages but also on emails. You can use off-site email marketing strategies
to deliver messages about order confirmation and dispatches, cart abandonment, product
recommendations, follow-ups, and re-engagement with long-lost customers.
8. Personalise your visitors’ experience in physical stores as well: Your personalisation efforts
need not be restricted to the digital store: with In-Store Personalization, you can create real-time
profiles of your customers across different touchpoints and channels and link all channels with the
profile. This means that even offline purchases will be considered when online recommendations,
up-selling, or cross-selling is done, and staff at the physical stores can also see what the customer
is interested in, and therefore make the right recommendations. It’ll also create relevant purchase
experiences by preventing irrelevant or outdated recommendations. Basically, you can create both
online support for in-store experiences and in-store support for online experiences.
9. Personalise your applications as well: Whether you have a native mobile app, a single-page app,
or a progressive web app, you can add them to your personalisation activities. The feature allows
you to serve the best experiences even on the smaller screens, get access to real-time unified
customer profiles, in-app segmentation, and integration with Nosto’s Admin Panel to avoid the
need to launch campaigns directly instead of having to update the app each time.
Integrations:
Google Analytics, Facebook, Instagram, Mailchimp, Oracle Bronto, Salesforce, Magento, Shopify,
PrestaShop, Shopware, BigCommerce, Trustpilot, Foursixty, Klaviyo, Liana Technologies, Klevu,
AfterShip, Sitoo, Voyado, Retain.me, Pixel, and others.

online sales, Growth Plan, Plus Plan, Premium Plan, and Enterprise Plan. The Growth plan starts at
€1,000 per month and increases as the volume of visitors and revenue rises.

“Nosto continuously provide an unrivalled level of account management which has allowed
our business to flourish into a successful partnership. We are confident in their ability to keep us
updated on the latest technologies available, taking our e-commerce business to the next level.”
Grace Forsythe, e-commerce Manager, EQVVS
“Nosto has been able to help us allocate our resources smarter and allow us to focus on
running our business more efficiently. The fact that our site is always automatically updated and
individually targeting each visitor allows us to utilise the full potential of our online store.”
Jack Stevens, e-commerce Manager, OKA
The integration was seamless and we were able to start using features such as
recommendations straight away. The on-site content personalisation has been a game changer
as we’re now able to present dynamic content to different segments based on their browsing
behaviour or product affinity. It’s early days but we’ve already seen a significant increase in
engagement and conversion. Alice, our CSM has been an amazing support and has a great
strategic approach for getting features live in a timely but achievable manner. I like that Nosto
are constantly investing in R&D and are welcome to feedback and suggestions to improve
existing features.

NotifyVisitors: User Research, Testing,
Personalisation, and Marketing
Automation
NotifyVisitors has products for customer engagement, conversion rate optimisation, and
analytics. It allows you to do user research, website testing, segmentation, personalisation, as
well as data analytics and management.
What features does NotifyVisitors have?
1. Conduct experience tests: You can create A/B, multivariate, and split URL tests with an easy-to-use
graphic editor. More sophisticated changes can be done using JavaScript or CSS through code editor.
These tests can be run on desktop, mobile, and tablet devices with equal dexterity. With the option to
undo your changes unlimited number of times, you have the flexibility to change ideas as you go.
You can schedule tests to be conducted at a later date by defining the start and end dates of your
experiments. Live previews of variations allow you to see how the designs would look and function
before they are rolled out. You will find all performance reports related to the tests on the account
dashboard, where you can see how your designs are performing against the assigned KPIs, and
what the conversion rate of each design is. You will also get alerts when a variant attains statistical
significance.
2. Conduct user research: You can conduct user research across different channels using heatmaps
of clicks, scrolls, mouse hovers, session recordings and replays, and form analytics. Heatmap tools
are also built into the A/B testing software. These will give you insights towards what your users
want, how user-friendly your website is, where they hesitate to perform an action, and at what point
the users are getting frustrated and leaving the site. Read together with A/B test and personalisation
campaign results, these will help you formulate or modify your brand strategies accordingly. The
same code can be used across multiple sites and domains you own, and multiple users from the
company can access the account dashboard.
3. Personalise customer journeys across channels: With granular segmentation and targeting
options, you can create your personalisation campaigns, test them and watch reactions from real
users, refine them as required, and get insightful reports about the campaigns and tests. Unified
user profile view allows you to see all the available data about individual users on one dashboard.
You can target users using personal demographic profile, geographical data, user events and
behaviours, the technology (device/browser/IP) that your visitors arrive on your site from, or other
custom rules.

4. Engage customers with various proven tools: NotifyVisitors offers you a comprehensive list of tools
and strategies that you can use to engage your visitors. A/B tests and personalisation can be done on
each of these tools. They can be deployed and personalised based on on-site behaviour and rule- and
segment-based triggers that can be customised as per your business needs. The tools are:
a. Web and mobile push notifications
b. In-app notifications
c. Pop-up notifications
d. Progressive web apps
e. Customisable AI-powered chatbots
f. Online and in-app surveys and feedback forms
g. AMPs (Accelerated Mobile Pages)
h. Net Promoter Score (customer feedback for brand promotion).
All these are easy to integrate with your website and apps, support various devices, and can be
scheduled instead of having to manually configure it a few hours before the campaigns are to be
launched. All these tools can be created from templates, edited, and customised using simple
visual editors and the intuitive Journey Builder. Analytical performance reports and actionable
insights can be derived from the software for each of these tools.
5. Automate your marketing efforts and manage user data: With email marketing, SMS marketing,
and marketing automation capabilities, NotifyVisitors allows you to connect with your customers offsite and continue engaging them with tailored experiences and personalised messages. The CRM
part of the software allows you to maintain your user data in one place securely. You can automate
your off-site marketing by configuring actions with behaviour- and attribute-based triggers.
6. Get comprehensive reports: Everything you do with NotifyVisitors is monitored and assessed on
a robust analytics platform. Any report you need about granular details of the performance of your
tests and campaigns can be obtained from the dashboard. Using Journey Builder, you can build
sophisticated workflows with ease and design personalised user journeys. Funnel Analytics allows
you to monitor customer journeys and watch where they enter your site from and where they drop
off. Cohort Analytics tracks user behaviour and engagement with mobile apps.
7. Integrate into your tech stack easily: The NotifyVisitors platform can be added with your website
with a single JavaScript code addition to the footer.
Integrations:
Google Tag Manager, WordPress, Mailchimp, Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce,
PrestaShop, Drupal, 3dcart, Joomla, Campaign Monitor, Blogger, Tumblr, InfusionSoft, and
GetResponse, among others.

Optimizely: Experimentation,
Personalisation, and Feature-flagging
Optimizely is an advanced experimentation tool that allows you to not only conduct various
kinds of webpage experiments but also to control and test feature rollouts. It has 2 products:
Optimizely Web and Optimizely Full Stack.
What features does Optimizely have?
Source: Optimizely.com
1. Test and optimise your features, pages, and strategies: You can create A/B tests, multivariate
tests, as well as server-side tests. It supports single-page apps and dynamic websites with equal
ease. The tests can be created with an easy-to-use WYSIWYG editor. At the same time, you can
make use of strong APIs, custom codes, and extensions for more sophisticated changes. Some
features unique to Optimizely are:
a. With Exclusion Groups, you can even run multiple experiments on the same page.
b. Optimizely Performance Edge with its advanced Experiment Delivery Network allows you to run
multiple tests quickly.
c. Optimizely Full Stack allows you to conduct tests on multiple channels such as websites, mobile
apps, and messaging software.
d. You can use whitelisting to conduct quality checks on experiments by forcing specific users into
variations.
e. You can also manage experiments across development, staging, and production environments.
2. Create personalised user journeys: You can create advanced segments for users based on their
location, browser or device, referrals, campaigns, etc. Tests can be deployed to visitors based on
their traffic source, location, cookies, and several other attributes. Understanding your audiences and
segments and using the available data will allow you to personalise user experiences and journeys and
target the right audience with the right personalisation. Some features unique to Optimizely are:
a. You can also use interest-based targeting instead of basing it on rules; interest-based targeting is
also easier to set up and manage.
b. Adaptive Audiences tracks and aligns changes in consumer behaviours and interests, to enable
you to continue delivering relevant experiences to them.
3. Get complete control over feature releases: With Optimizely Rollouts, you can introduce new
features to limited audiences and test their functionality. You can test new features on a small
percentage of visitors or beta customers before releasing it on your website or app. This will allow
you to find errors, track performance, and see how your users receive the new features. If you find a
feature not doing well, you can withdraw it or update it in real-time without redeploying code.
Features of any channel—website, mobile app, conversational interface, backend logic—can be
managed with Rollouts. Having all your features in a single dashboard also makes them easy to
manage and modify. It also integrates with Jira for better visibility and collaboration.
4. Gather data extensively and assess them: The Optimizely dashboard tracks all KPIs and
conversion metrics and collects and analyses all event and user data. This allows you to understand
your users, how they interact with your website, and discover new conversion opportunities.
The Stats Engine uses sequential testing to remove waiting periods from testing environments—the
statistical significance of your experiments increases with more time and data, which means you
don’t have to wait a conventionally long time to find winners. It also corrects for multiple goals and
variations with false discovery rate control.
Source: Optimizely.com
5. Enjoy technical freedom: The SDKs are open source, which allows faster integration, easy
maintenance, low latency, and a simple interface. Optimizely supports a variety of most web,
mobile, and server-side languages, such as Python, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Node, PHP, Visual
Basic, Swift, or Android. Configuration—error logs, error handling, activity tracking, integrations,
dispatching, etc.—can be customised as per your needs. The architecture is scalable, and analytics
is done in real time. It can be integrated with Jira, and is secure and compliant with cyber and cloud
guidelines.

Personyze: Recommendation and
Personalisation Engine
Personyze allows you to tailor experiences for customers across websites, apps, and emails. It has
a recommendation and segmentation engine plus a host of widgets that you can use to connect
with your visitors at various touchpoints.
What features does Personyze have?
1. Get a 360° view of your customers for targeted messaging: The software collates and analyses
customer data from existing CRM/DMP, historical data from third-party tools, uploaded/imported
information from your local database, and real-time on-site behaviour. The data can be linked/
imported using Personyze’s site content crawler, spreadsheet URL, API, or SFTP. It then segments
the customers into groups with similar attributes. With over 70 user attributes—including social
data, dynamic session data, and custom KPIs—targeting becomes granular and more relevant to
each user.
2. Use machine learning to create a highly personal user experience: With machine learning,
you can leave most of the advanced personalisation activities to the software. You can define the
rules and let algorithms do their thing. Algorithms are available for various marketing channels
and touchpoints of a visitor’s journey; such as for product recommendations, for items on sale, for
emails, and for anonymous users. It also allows you to create algorithms that work the best for you.
3. Advanced product and content recommendation engine: Combining machine learning with
real-time visitor data analytics, Personyze can dish out different types of recommendations. These
include personalised recommendations for each visitor, popular products and content, frequently
bought together from the same category or by visitors with similar attributes, up-selling and crossselling recommendations, and new products/content, among others.
4. Implement personalisation across multiple platforms: Targeting and customisation can be done
not just on your website but also on emails and mobile/tablet apps. The software allows you to add
recommendation and wish-list widgets at various visitor touchpoints, and code snippets to embed
recommendations in emails or apps.
5. Automate your on-site campaigns: With customised designs and text of widgets and targeted
messaging based on rules defined by you, you can create and automate your marketing
campaigns. The widgets available include: dynamic HTML, content recommendations, product
recommendations, countdown timers, sliders, redirect to another URL, lead management form,
run JavaScript code, ask to connect or publish to Facebook, dynamic map marker, dynamic email
content, and ratings and reviews, among others. Show widgets to visitors based on their on-site
journey and follow it up with email drip campaigns. You will also get real-time notifications that will
allow you to cash in on leads and sales opportunities as and when they present themselves.
6. Create customised landing pages: Using a graphic page editor, you can make your landing
pages more attractive and conversion-optimised. Embed forms and banners and pop-ups—over
20 customisable widgets are available—and tailor page elements and widgets for different visitor
segments and define rules on what pages to show to what kinds of users at what time in their journey.
7. Create tailored email marketing campaigns: Use AI-generated product/content
recommendations and insert personalisation tags to address the users directly. Link emails to
landing pages and let users who arrive at your site through email campaigns see a customised page
instead of the common pages. You can make lead forms to collect email ids from site visitors or
even retrieve emails from wherever a user enters it on your website/app. You can also upload ids
from your database or use APIs to integrate them.
8. A/B test your marketing and personalisation campaigns: Conduct A/B tests on landing page
variations, pop-ups, banners, forms, emails, and personalisation algorithms. Deploy tests on
targeted segments and optional control groups to reduce the testing time and get actionable
reports. Choose from a variety of KPIs to check the test results against and let the software
cease tests automatically when the specified statistical significance is achieved. The results and
performance data can be seen from a common dashboard, and changes can be made to your
strategies before it’s too late.

Qubit: Experimentation and AI-driven
Personalisation for e-commerce
Qubit is a personalisation engine specifically for retail, travel and online gaming brands. The
company has 3 products; Qubit Start, Qubit Grow and Qubit Pro representing a product
stairway of increasing capability as customers build their personalisation strategy. Qubit Start is
the entry-level product where most begin their personalisation ‘journey’ and brings together
product recommendations, personalised content and product badging. As the capability to
do more advanced personalisation increases, Qubit Grow is used as the next step, bringing
in more dataset and functionality to take strategies to the next level. Once personalisation is
fully ingrained in an organisation, Qubit Pro comes into play, enabling collaboration across
merchandising, marketing, data science, IT, and optimisation teams.
What features does Qubit have?
1. Run and assess A/B tests for effective personalisation: Create variants of your landing pages for
experimentation with a visual drag-and-drop editor. Create and test pages for underperforming
visitor segments and improve their engagement with your brand. The testing tool by Qubit
has command line interface, server-side capabilities, and native integration with node package
manager. It uses a Bayesian statistics tool to measure the impact of the experiments and eliminate
the possibility of false positives.
Source: Qubit
2. Add personalisation modules that work: Add personalised features such as social proof, product
recommendation, surveys, and cart abandonment recovery. Use surveys and forms to seek
feedback from users for more in-depth understanding of user issues or wants on your website. With
the powerful and high-performing machine learning algorithms, each datapoint collected is put to
use in your personalisation efforts.
Get special Peak Season Personalisation solution that can handle the traffic and transactions of peak
shopping seasons such as Black Friday very well. Evaluate visitor behaviour and usage data on the
site as well as app and deliver relevant messages, such as welcome for a new visitor, first-order
coupon, recommendations for repeat customers based on past purchase history, etc. You can
access the Qubit data and personalisation with a simple API token.
3. Segment your customers right for best results: Create user segments with advanced filters and
conditions to ensure that the right kind of messaging reaches the right kind of audience. These
segments auto-update in case the customer behaviour or data changes in any way. Use Visitor Pulse
surveys to let customers tell you more accurately what segment they are best suited in.
4. Personalise across channels for a unified customer journey: Qubit is an open platform with
which you can deliver personalised messaging, recommendations, offers, or content for different
channels—web, mobile, emails in-store, ad servers, or call centres—on which users interact with
your brand.
5. Get in-depth insights and put your data to use: Get in-depth user data—both quantitative and
qualitative—through Qubit’s robust scripts and SDKs and use the insights gained from them to
optimise personalisation activities. You can also link third-party marketing tools or import historical
data available with you. Compare the results of your personalisation efforts against key metrics such
as revenue per visitor (RPV) and revenue per converter, and against success indicators such as email
subscription, basket addition, content view, etc.
Source: Qubit
6. Enjoy smooth running on the technical side: With low latency and real-time data-gathering, the
tool will give you results as quickly as you need it. It is an open platform, and therefore your data can
be streamed directly into it from your servers. The software is built to handle large-scale data and
simultaneous personalisation and testing activities. Real-time processing and actioning are enhanced
with simple structured data for events and in-depth validation according to pioneering industry schemas.

SALESmanago: Comprehensive
Marketing Automation
SALESmanago is an AI-based all-in-one marketing automation software that also allows you to
optimise your website and organic as well as paid marketing efforts, personalise your brand for
your visitors and engage with them consistently, and manage customer data and relationship.
What features does SALESmanago have?
1. Reach your customer on any channel: This software allows you omnichannel marketing
capabilities to help you understand and reach your audiences on multiple channels. The marketing
channels on which you can personalise and optimise are:
a. Emails
b. Live Chat and Chatbot
c. Website
d. Social media
e. Mobile apps
f. Advertising networks and RTB
2. Organise and process customer data in real time: The Customer Data Platform helps you manage
the contact database, build unified customer profiles, understand your visitors’ interests and
preferences, and how they interact with your brand. You can also manage consents and GDPR
compliance norms and sync data with your existing DMPs. The SALESmanago Contact Card is a key
CRM tool. It shows you all information available about individual users through deep behavioural
profiling—behavioural and transactional data, product preferences, the marketing and sales
campaigns they’ve interacted with, communication overview, what segments the users are in, and
any other data manually updated by sales or customer support teams. It also has a contact score,
which indicates the health or engagement level of each visitor.
3. Build and manage audience segments through CRM: You can separate your visitors into
segments and follow their actions and interactions closely. You can define actions and campaigns
dedicated only to the selected contacts’ segments, and use scoring to identify and target top leads
and their interests. The platform will alert you when top customers perform an activity. You can use
this to optimise and manage your sales process and nurture leads.
Dynamic segments help you to automatically update your target groups, manage multidimensional
data without external BI systems and analysts, and quickly determine the size of the target group
for mass or automatic campaigns. It also shows you in-depth analytics about changes in the size
of selected segments. You can also use the RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) automation
to automatically segment users, increase customer retention and lifecycle value, optimise base
activation costs, and increase profits.
4. Personalise your brand properties for visitors: You can personalise website graphics and
message based on what segment they belong to, show the most relevant campaign elements—
live chat, pop-ups, forms—to users at the right time, and even dynamically change discounts
and product pricing according to customer value. You can make highly personalised one-to-one
product recommendations. This personalisation can also be automated through rules and machine
learning. You can also personalise ads across channels using AI and targeting rules.
Source: Salesmanago.com
5. A/B test everything: You can conduct experiments on all marketing assets and campaigns—
website/landing pages, email, SMS, banners, pop-ups, forms, push notifications,
recommendations, automation rules, and workflows. Just decide what you would like to test, who
the test should be shown to, how long the test should run, and get in-depth reports when the test is
concluded.
6. Get detailed analytics of every aspect of your digital marketing: The software tracks and analyses
all marketing campaigns you run through it—including your experiments, personalisation activities,
forms, emails, etc.—giving you a comprehensive as well as granular view of how each part of your
marketing ecosystem is performing.

SiteSpect: Customer Experience
Optimisation
SiteSpect is a web optimisation software that can be used for testing, personalisation, and
recommendations.
What features does SiteSpect have?
1. Conduct both client-side and server-side tests: You can create A/B tests and multivariate tests on
both client and server sides using an editor that has both visual and code versions. Enjoy a zeroflicker experience and the ability to serve more than one test to the same set of users. It has a Find
and Replace option to modify content and source code quickly and regular expressions can be
used to match sophisticated patterns. You can even conduct tests on single-page applications. The
tool can direct all traffic to winning variations through Auto Optimization and promote hot fixes to
all traffic or specific segments to resolve issues quickly. The algorithm shows user pages according
to a weighted analysis of the most recent user behaviours.
2. Personalise experiences for users: Target visitors based on user data, behaviour, and context.
Create groups of users with similar attributes and use those segments to create targeting and
personalisation rules. The same user can be in multiple segments and receive different personalised
experience; this will allow you to understand which campaign works best for a user, which in turn
can be used to fine-tune the campaigns. You can create the campaigns on a visual editor easily.
3. Deliver omnichannel experiences: You can use SiteSpect to personalise your brand on web,
mobile apps, social media, email, print, and OTT, among other connected digital channels. Visitors
will receive connected and uniform experiences when they switch from one to another channel
when interacting with you. Analytics will also be available for all connected channels.
4. Use machine learning and targeting rules to hyper-personalise recommendations: SiteSpect’s
AI will take care of ensuring that product recommendations are relevant to each individual user. You
can deliver the following kinds of product recommendations:
a. Personalised recommendations
b. Similar products
c. People who bought this also bought
d. Popular products
e. Product page recommendations
f. Shopping cart recommendations
You can experiment with the placement of product recommendations at various touchpoints in
customer journey, layout, design, etc. to ensure they boost conversions. You can adjust the product
recommendations criteria to promote or exclude according to your business needs, filter by any
criteria, time the delivery of a product recommendation according to where the customer is in their
purchase journey.
356
Source: Sitespect.com
5. Get in-depth analytics and insights: The SiteSpect dashboard shows you overviews and detailed
reports of the performance of tests, targeting and personalisation campaigns, and product
recommendations. Get real-time notifications and in-product messages for tests, such as achieving
success in a variation, conversion blockers in a campaign, no new traffic coming in on any test,
etc. Monitor in real time how each campaign is performing, get notifications on key positive and
negative movements, and make changes at the right time. Through the Optimization Value Report,
you can see the overall influence of optimisation on your business goals. SiteSpect WATTS makes it
easy to integrate data with other analytics platforms.
Integrations:
Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, Oracle
Commerce, Oracle Bluekai, Adobe Analytics, Adobe Audience Manager, Adobe Dynamic Tag
Manager, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Salesforce DMP, IBM Analytics, Drupal, Hotjar, Azure,

Swrve: Marketing Automation and
Engagement Platform
Swrve is a software that allows you to connect with your customers and make their experience
on your mobile app more engaging. This includes aspects such as using user data segmentation,
personalisation, triggering, and messaging.
What features does Swrve have?
1. Engage with your users on multiple platforms: Whether your customer is on web, mobile app,
email, or even an OTT channel, with this software you can deliver one-to-one personalisation to
them in real time, and at scale. You can make sure that the experience of a customer on each of your
brand channels remains seamless and connected.
2. Connect with customers with real-time and relevant messaging: With advanced AI capabilities,
you can connect with your customer at the right time with the most relevant messages for them.
You can use the following features to increase real-time engagement:
a. App push messaging
b. Web push notifications
c. Email push notifications
d. Email marketing
e. SMS messaging
f. In-app messaging
g. AI-driven re-engagement campaigns
h. OTT messaging (includes Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV, Roku, WebOS, and Tizen)
i. Ad-to-app experiences (link Facebook and Instagram ads to your app)
3. Assess customer data and form useful segments for targeting: You can link behavioural and
profile data from any third-party system with the first-party and real-time data gathered from all the
different channels or SDK app data in Swrve. This gives you access to rich information that you can
separate into dynamic audiences with advanced segmentation rules. Through Swrve Autopilot,
the software’s AI, the data is constantly updated, thereby increasing the scope of highly relevant
personalisation and trigger-based messaging.
4. Personalise user experience and customer journeys: The tool dynamically imports relevant
customer data including individual interests, likes and dislikes, and goals, and aligns it with
contextual data such as past interactions and real-time actions. This, coupled with prediction
of future behaviours, helps you personalise user experiences and web/app pages messages.
Personalisation is not limited to English—Swrve allows you to customise in 34 languages.
5. Create customised messaging with ease: Tailor your messaging using existing templates or create
one from scratch without needing to know coding. You can also preview how the messages will
look on different channels and devices. You can configure rules or triggers about when and where
each message or type of message should be delivered to a user—whether they’re demographic
values such as gender or location, or behavioural values based on real-time interaction, such as
cart abandonment and search history. The messages can be scheduled and even set to recur
periodically if required, or they can be left to Autopilot to deliver at the right moment.
Source: Swrve.com
6. A/B test all your UX strategies: You can conduct up to 10 variants simultaneously, to be able to
optimise time utilisation and achieve faster results. You can choose to administer specific tests to
specific segments instead of all users. The testing is supported by Autopilot, which ensures that
messages and personalisations are scheduled and delivered at the best possible engagement
times, and constantly improve or give suggestions to improve user journeys, messaging types and
frequencies, and page elements across devices. By automating winning elements such as layout,
navigation, menu structure, checkout and payment options, etc. from A/B tests, you can ensure
that you retain important visitors.
7. Make sure you’re getting all the insights and reports necessary: You can get not only periodic
reports but also insights on real-time data. The software processes more than 14 billion datapoints
every day to ensure that businesses get all the information required to see missing or hidden
opportunities and make smart and quick decisions. You can monitor all kinds of performances—of
your website, your messaging campaigns, your personalisation efforts, and your A/B tests—and get
360
actionable reports and suggestions from a centralised platform.
8. Always be aware of ROI and business impact: The Swrve dashboard is sensitive to your business’s
need to know ROI, and therefore also shows you projected and actual ROIs, and how using its tool
has helped in actual conversion growths, revenue per engagement, and average revenue per user.
It shows you the value of every interaction.
9. Get a robust architecture to support your channels: Swrve’s superior APIs, SDKs, pre-built
connectors, and rules-based integration framework ensures that the software is easy to install
anywhere within your tech stack. It also links easily with several other platforms. It has an uptime of
99.99%. It is GDPR-compliant, and the user data is highly encrypted and stored securely.
10.Get the services of a dedicated success manager: You will get an exclusive Customer Success
Manager, who will work with you, catch up with you regularly, give account reviews, and suggest
strategy changes if required.
Integrations:
Adobe Marketing Cloud, Oracle Marketing Cloud, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Salesforce Service
Cloud, Segment, Tealium, Amplitude, Bluedot, Facebook ads, Instagram ads, Mailchimp, Mandrill,

What Swrve users say
The tool has clients such as RyanAir, Telefonica, Condé Nast, Three.co.uk, Digicel, StubHub, Verizon,
Warner Brothers, Playrix, Wall Street English, Netgear, Movember Foundation, Zalora, EA Games,
Emirates, and Sony Pictures.
“In our business, timely and relevant engagement is the difference between subscriber retention
and customer churn. We scoured the market for partners who had an enterprise grade solution
and could help drive real business results. We’re thrilled we chose Swrve because they stand
heads and tails above the rest of the market and the results speak for themselves.”
Peter Lloyd Special Project Advisor to Group CEO & BOD at Digicel
“Swrve has allowed us to connect with millions of players with smarter messaging and perfect
timing. The real-time in-app messaging we send with Swrve doesn’t look or feel like marketing
messaging—they’re rich and on-brand enough to be seen as another level of the overall player
experience. This alone has created $2.3 million in upsell revenue and produced valuable lifts in
app store ratings, which is very positive for our brand.”
Jacek Kwiatkowski, Head of Analytics at Vivid Games

Symplify: Omnichannel Communication
and Conversion Suites
Symplify is the rebranded face of SiteGainer, after SiteGainer was acquired by Symplify
Technologies in November 2019. Symplify has 2 product suites: Communication and Conversion
(which is where SiteGainer has been amalgamated into). The Communication suite is a customer
lifecycle management tool and gives you access to 8 communication channels. The Conversion
suite has real-time A/B testing, user research, and conversion analytics.
What features does Symplify have?
1. Experiment with your webpages: You can conduct A/B tests on a variety of page elements, such
as headlines, content, layout, buttons, colours, CTAs, banners, contact detail display, images,
countdowns, animations, functionality, pricing, hover effects, steps in checkout, header and footer
content, recommendations, testimonials and reviews, trust, branding, payment methods, mobile
layout, font and sizes, among others.
Source: Symplify
2. Conduct user research with ease: With heatmaps, clickmaps, touchmaps, and scrollmaps offered
by the platform, you can see what problems your users find on your site, what they are attracted by,
what areas they pay no attention to, where they click, how far down a page they scroll, etc. You can
select which user segments you want to collect data from, choose how long you want the data to
be collected, and then wait for analytics to show you comprehensive and visual reports. This will
help you identify issues and proactively fix them.
3. Personalise your website for your visitors to drive engagement: You can personalise all kinds of
page elements using Symplify Conversion suite—what you need to do is define audience segments
to help categorise the users you would be targeting, create different pages or page elements for
each segment or group of users, conduct experiments to find out what elements/page designs
work and what don’t, and then deploy the personalised pages. Each page will be shown only to
the segment that particular version is meant for.
4. Create and test pop-ups and surveys to improve conversions: The tool has pop-up and survey
templates that can be launched directly on your website without needing the visitors to leave the
site. Pop-ups and surveys will help users interact more with the website and will help you get direct
feedback from them. You can also create your own designs from scratch using HTML codes. Both
pop-ups and surveys can also be tested and personalised for different visitor groups. The data on
user interaction with these pop-ups and surveys, test results, and analytics can be accessed from the
dashboard.
5. Communicate with your users easily: The Symplify Communication suite allows you to interact
with your users through 8 channels: email, SMS, web push notifications, app push notifications,
print media articles, social media, voice communication, and dynamic webpages. All of these can
be managed from a single editor, making the whole process hassle-free.
6. Manage customer lifecycles conveniently: You can create user journeys with a drag-and-drop
editor. You can assign any event as a trigger, automatically optimise the journeys as data changes,
switch channels seamlessly, and react to alternative outcomes. You can import historical data into
the suite and combine it with real-time data gathering and analysis to form robust and precise
segments. These user groups can be created and modified as per your needs with the help of a
custom audience builder. The segmentation can be applied with one click across all channels. You
can get a 360°view of your customers to help you understand your users and their needs better.

“My first wow moment was when I saw the impact A/B testing had on our figures and business
growth. A couple of tests later we could actually measure and see the great payoff from the A/B
tests. It is an amazing way to increase your online revenue. This is a must for everyone that wants
to grow their online business for real.”
Jonatan Johansson, Growth Manager and CRO-specialist, NA-KD.com
“Together with Symplify Conversion we’ve managed to have a steady flow of tests every month.
This was always our goal, but we’ve seen a bigger amount of winning tests than we could have
hoped for. (...) The success management team at Symplify Conversion was of huge help in the
acceleration of our test programme.”
Pelle Bergqvist, Head of Design, CDON

need to prioritise how to spend development resources their support offering where they help
you set up the experiments you want is great.”
Knut Sorli, Careerbuilder

Taplytics: Customer Experience
Automation
Taplytics allows you to create customer journeys and personalised experiences for multiple
channels through a comprehensive and data-protected software. It also has CRO and
personalisation services for enterprise clients. It caters to product teams, marketing teams, and
engineering teams.
What features does Taplytics have?
1. Deliver omnichannel personalisation: Taplytics can be used to conduct A/B tests and deliver
seamless personalisations and targeted messages on desktop and mobile web, mobile apps,
email, push notifications, and OTT.
2. Create optimised product experiences: The product team solution allows you to create product
designs either using a visual editor or using a code-based editor. App launches, updates, and
feature rollouts can be managed and deployed without IT/development support or app store
approvals using Launch Control. You can control who should see the new features and who should
not, which user segments get to see the updates first, or prioritise the launch sequence and launch
time of features. You can also deliver triggered messages and personalisation campaigns on
multiple channels.
3. Create personalised digital journeys for your visitors: Using existing and real-time customer
data and artificial intelligence, personalise your digital properties for users and engage with them
meaningfully by sending personalised and relevant messages on different channels. Design
customer journeys with the right kind of personalised and engaging recommendations, offers, and
messages across channels to ensure that they don’t get fragmented and disconnected messages.
4. Experiment with your pages and campaigns: Both marketing and product teams can create and
launch A/B tests for desktop and mobile web, Android and iOS mobile apps, and over-the-top
media such as Android TV, Amazon TV, tvOS, and Roku TV, using an intuitive editor. The software
has capabilities for client-side and server-side A/B testing; the Decision API it uses is light, does not
need an SDK installation, and delivers a zero-flicker experience. Traffic to the experiments can be
customised by deciding how many visitors are shown each variation, targeting particular segments,
and adding or removing users. You can automate the go-live of a winning variation.
5. Automate your campaigns by combining all the above features: Leverage the tool’s capabilities
of real-time user behaviour monitoring, segmentation rules for personalisation, triggers for
engagement messaging, Taplytics AI, and the results from experimentation to automate your
marketing campaigns across channels. There are journey builder templates to get you started on a
new customer journey design.

6. Get real-time analytics and insights: Both product and marketing solutions come with real-time
analytics of all user interactions with your brand, and tests and campaigns launched through
Taplytics. Get in-depth user behaviour data, experiment and campaign performance metrics,
product and campaign insights, AI-generated suggestions, and custom reports from all your
connected channels. You can also link the data with other analytics tools you use.
7. Make sure your data is always protected: Choose single-tenant cloud installs or on-premise
installations to ensure that your users’ data remains on your servers and stays secure.

Google Analytics, Adobe, Mixpanel, Kissmetrics, Segment, Amplitude, Firebase, Heap, Looker,

What Taplytics users say
Clients of this tool include Houseparty, Chick-fil-a, Good&Co, TodayTix, Equinox, RBC Financial
Group, Crate&Barrel, GrubHub, Rosetta Stone, and Lottery.com, among others.
“With Taplytics, it’s so easy to set up experiments and bucket users. It’s lowered our inhibitions
around testing.”
Jeff Needles, Data & Analytics, Houseparty app
“With Taplytics’ visual A/B testing solution, we saw a huge bump in credit card purchases once
we introduced our new payment flow. The number of customer payment option complaints
dropped to zero, meaning customers are much happier with their Chick-fil-A experience.”
Jay Ramirez, Product Owner, Chick-fil-A
“We wanted a testing platform that provided results just as quickly as we formed hypotheses—
Taplytics gave us just that. It is a fantastic platform to have. My team and I use the visual editor
so often that it’s proven to be a staple part of our process when it comes to improving our app.”

VWO: Experience Optimisation
and Growth
The VWO Experience Optimization and Growth Platform has capabilities for webpage testing,
insights, full-stack feature management, visitor engagement, and growth management. You
can purchase each capability separately or buy them in combinations to make the most of the
data and intelligence you’re gathering. The software can cater to small businesses as well as
enterprises. The company also offers CRO services.
What features does VWO have?
1. Deploy widgets for better conversions: Widgets such as pop-ups and banners with discount
coupons at exit and welcome mats with special offers have been proven as conversion optimisers.
The VWO widget template library gives you access to a variety of widgets you can deploy on your
site/app, without any code. They can be modified and customised as per your needs using the
VWO Visual Editor. They can be deployed based on user attributes and on-page behaviour and
targeted and personalised based on audience segments.
2. Conduct user research: With heatmaps, scrollmaps, clickmaps, and session recordings, you can
see how visitors interact with your webpages and forms. You can see what they’re looking at on a
page/form, where their mouse is moving, how much of a page they’re scrolling down to, where
they are clicking, how much of a form they’re filling, at what point of a form users experienced
frustration or hesitation, etc. This helps you understand what page elements the visitors find
interesting and what they are not attracted to. Couple this with insights from tests to create
strategies that actually work for your business.
Source: VWO
3. Create and run tests easily: Create A/B tests, Multivariate tests, and Split URL tests across devices
and domains. The visual editor allows you to create and modify pages and page elements without
needing the help of developers. At the same time, you can make advanced code changes in
HTML, CSS, or JavaScript using the advanced code editor. You also get to undo your changes as
many times as necessary, and preview and QA the tests on different browsers and devices before
launching them. Some features unique to VWO are:
a. With VWO Full Stack, you can conduct enterprise-grade server-side tests, complex tests
involving algorithms and recommendation engines, and experiments on multiple channels such
as native apps, IoT devices, and beacons as well.
b. The server-side tests give zero flickering and negligible latency with the VWO Asynchronous
Smartcode.
c. For multivariate tests, you don’t even have to manually create multiple pages with different
combinations of elements that you want to test out: the tool will automatically create multiple
versions of the page for you to compare and decide. You can even conduct multiple tests on the
same page simultaneously, and schedule tests and campaigns in advance.
4. Customise your tests: Add pre-defined hypotheses to the tests to set expectations and compare
the results of the tests against them. You can add goals—specific to your campaign or one of your
existing conversion goals—to validate the test results against. Run numerous tests simultaneously
and define how much traffic you want each of them to be assigned with.
For multivariate tests, the tool will prioritise the winning combinations and drive more traffic
towards it automatically. You can also link users’ on-page behaviours and audience segments to the
tests to decide what types of users get to see what variations. Smart Notifications will alert you to
notable results, insights, and recommendations for the tests. Use the built-in Duration Calculator to
determine how long you should run the tests to reach results aligned with the goals you have set.
5. Get insightful reports on your tests: VWO uses Frequentist testing methodology with Sidak
correction for multivariates, which ensures that winning combinations are found with minimum false
positives and error margin. The A/B and split tests run on Bayesian statistics.
Advanced reporting capabilities of SmartStats allow you to see how the tests are performing, the
conversion rate differences in each variation, and the range in which your conversion rate lies, all
without waiting to reach statistical significance. You can track numerous metrics to determine what
impact the tests are having on the entire funnel and generate the reports necessary for all kinds of
data analysis that can be done both online and offline through downloadable reports.
For multivariate tests, you can see detailed performance and conversion rate differences for all
combinations and element changes. It gives you intelligent insights based on your business needs.
6. Customise your A/B test reports with the new dashboard: The A/B testing report interface was
recently overhauled, and now you can customise the report dashboard as you need. The features
added include:
a. Filters: This is available at the top of the report. Filter by date range or a visitor segment, and all
the goals, graphs, and compared goals will be filtered.
b. Notifications: Get notifications of the errors with a variation or goal tracking and about a winner
or a smart decision in tests.
c. Stats table: The Stats table now shows the median value for the expected conversion rate,
expected revenue per visitor, improvement, and expected revenue per conversion.
d. Graphs: A completely new graph—Probability Density—now shows the different probabilities of
conversion rates for all variations of the test. This graph will help visualise the 99-percentile range
371
of the conversion rate and compare how close or far apart your variations are.
e. Compare goals: You can now compare test performance for multiple goals in a single view. You
can add up to 5 goals in one view.
Source: VWO
7. Get insights on your website: VWO Insights is an in-depth analytics dashboard. Funnels allow
you to see where in their journey visitors are leaving your website. Once you know where the
conversion leakage is occurring, watch audience interactions through heatmaps and session
recordings to figure out why the drop-offs are happening. You can also add on-page survey and
form widgets to seek direct feedback from users. All your testing data and reports are also stored on
VWO Insights.
8. Segment your users and target them with the right tests and personalisations: User segments
allow you to separate your site visitors into groups that you can target with specific messaging or
custom pages. You can either create your own audience segments or use VWO’s 20 pre-defined
ones. You can create and link multiple segments together.
For example, you could have segments by location, browser type, language, users arriving on your
page through ad campaigns or other referring sites, those who are new to your site or are returning
for the second, third or nth time, the amount of time they spend on your site, etc. Now you can
create complex segments for targeted messaging by combining visitor segments that come to your
site from the UK via an ad campaign for a specific product, spend 1 minute on your site, and are
showing the intent to exit.
372
9. Reach out to your users offline beyond email marketing: With VWO Engage (earlier known as
PushCrew, you can use nudge marketing strategies to drive engagement and build a relationship
beyond the webpage with your users. Engage includes web push notifications and Facebook
Messenger. You can create the push notifications in just a few steps. Facebook Messenger allows
you to connect with customers at a personal level, which allows you to run personalised campaigns
for cart abandonment, browse abandonment, offers and discounts, new product showcasing,
retargeting, and customer retention, all without spending big on advertisements.
10.Uncover usability issues and learn how to fix them: You can connect with your users and the
VWO expert community to get usability reviews and tips on how to improve your conversions
through persuasive and engaging design, interface, and user experience.
11.Use linked tools to record your ideas and learnings: VWO Plan is a centralised storehouse of
all your data, insights, notes, ideas, and comments that can be accessed by all authorised users
and allows you to effectively manage your experimentation roadmap. The VWO Chrome Plugin
extension allows you to download heatmaps and add your notes about any test, recordings, or
reports to the common repository. This will allow your team to collaborate and access everything
about the platform and analytics. All important learnings and results of tests can be recorded
through the VWO Program Management Capability. The Kanban board gives you an overview of
your hypotheses and testing pipeline, completed and upcoming tests, and test opportunities.
12.Capture entire journeys & not just isolated sessions: A new feature, VWO Visitor Profiles
empower revenue teams to stitch multiple sessions of a user together for a holistic dive into
the user’s journey with your digital properties. These sessions are available as a part of Session
Recordings under VWO Insights. Visitor Profiles have multiple use cases—customer support teams
can look into a disgruntled customer’s journey, sales representatives can look at a high value lead’s
trail on your domain, etc.
13.Better conversions for time-sensitive events: With VWO releasing Multi Armed Bandit (MAB),
e-tailers who do not have the luxury to wait for statistical significance and want to maximise
conversions now have an instrument to do so. MAB allocates traffic dynamically to variations
tending to draw higher conversions so that businesses can sacrifice test result purity in favour of
better conversions for a short-term window. A good example of this scenario is when a mobile
brand runs a launch flash sale for three days for their next handset: the objective of their marketing
team is to maximise conversions in this short window and not gun for statistical significance.
Integrations:
Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, WordPress, Drupal, BigCommerce, Magento, Shopify,
Joomla, ComScore, Clicktale, Tealium, Kissmetrics, Mixpanel, Heap, CallTrackingMetrics, Clicky,
Clearbit, and DemandBase.

VWO case studies
Client: Ubisoft
Industry: Gaming
Product: Structured Conversion Rate Optimization, A/B Testing, VWO Platform, and VWO Services
Goals and Results:
• Improvement in lead generation and conversions on the ‘Buy Now’ page: Visitor data was collected
using heatmaps, scrollmaps, clickmaps and surveys. The data was analysed to build a strong
hypothesis for testing. The hypothesis was to reduce the up and down scroll and simplify the
entire buying process. After data collation, the VWO Services team suggested a complete design
overhaul for For Honor’s ‘Buy Now’ page and constructed an A/B test based on the new design,
using VWO. The test was run during the holiday season (October-December 2017), when the traffic
was 60% higher than the usual. Comparison of the test data between the old and the new layouts
on the VWO platform demonstrated that the redesigned version increased the lead generation rate
by 12% (from 38% to 50% conversions).
Testimonial:
“We ran a series of A/B tests based on the data we gathered by using Heatmaps, Scrollmaps
and Surveys available on the VWO Platform. It helped us to identify key elements on our
websites that needed a deeper look.”
Jenny Hughes, Digital Marketing, Ubisoft
378
Client: Best Choice Products (BCP)
Industry: e-commerce
Product: A/B Testing and VWO Platform
Goals and Results:
• Improving conversions with Search Bar A/B Testing: On assessing data, BCP found that of the 50%
mobile traffic they were getting, users who looked for products using the search icon in the header
were converting 60% higher than others. They hypothesised that making the search bar more
visible would improve user penetration into the website and drive conversions up. A larger and
more central search bar was tested for mobile users for 1 week. In that short timeframe, the variation
demonstrated a conversion uplift of 30% and a revenue increase of 0.1%.
Testimonials:
“We are constantly iterating our designs in tandem with user insights. Earlier we weren’t
checking how these releases were impacting our conversion rate, revenue, and other metrics
beyond GA data. We were using a different tool that didn’t offer A/B Testing capabilities. We
realised that we were collecting data, but weren’t acting on it. That’s how we started looking
for an all-inclusive platform that provides A/B testing, heatmaps, scrollmaps, surveys—and we
came across VWO.”
Kelly Klopfer, UX Design Manager, Best Choice Products
“There’s so much one can do with A/B testing, the possibilities are endless! Experimentation
has become the new go-to-market strategy for BCP. We generate ideas by looking at data from
VWO & GA and explore design solutions. Then, we compare them with competitor designs and
discuss them with the development and management team before moving forward with the
campaign.”
Alexandra Diaz, UX Designer, Best Choice Products
