Active Apparel Brand Uses Recommendations & Testing to Double CVR

This UK retailer is not merely a clothing line, but a hub of innovation that fashions outerwear for enthusiasts and professional athletes alike. They craft activity-based clothing dedicated to each form of sailing—offshore, inshore, ocean, and coastal. For them, surfacing the right product recommendation was paramount, as sailing is not a one-size-fits-all sport. Not only was their team looking to serve their loyal customers the most relevant and well-timed content, but they were also looking for ways to optimize their conversion rate.

Their team leveraged Monetate A/B/n Testing and Monetate Product Recommendations to help them achieve their broader mission of expanding their global reach. They also wanted to bring greater visibility to their wide range of technical clothing and sailing gear.

Improving site navigation and testing impacts of imagery on conversion

The company ran an experiment to see if placing a tab navigation on the mobile app would lessen user fatigue and facilitate an effortless path to purchase for new shoppers. This tab navigation resulted in a +13.9% lift in ATC.

Shoppers who interacted with the navigation bar also had a much higher conversion rate – a whopping +83%. Conversions for returning shoppers also saw a boost of +4.7%, as they were the ones interacting with the tab the most.
