ASSUMPTION: Customers are able to make a more informed decision
when products are filtered.
The Paradox of Choice
None
None
When people have no choice, life is almost unbearable. As
the number of available choices increases, as it has in our consumer culture, the autonomy, control, and liberation this variety brings are powerful and positive…
… But as the number of choices keeps growing, negative
aspects of having a multitude of options begin to appear. As the number of choices grows further, the negatives escalate until we become overloaded...
… At this point, choice no longer liberates, but debilitates.
It might even be said to tyrannize.
30+ Packages
None
First Iteration
A/B Test: • Mobile first • London Gatwick • Hotels
None
After 2 weeks: • Conversion up 49% • Product selection
unchanged • Team very excited!
The Next Step: • Test Manchester on mobile • Test
Heathrow on mobile • Test on tablet & desktop
Rolling With It
A/B Tests: Heathrow conversion was up
A/B Tests: Heathrow conversion was up … but Manchester was
failing
