Maximizing Customer Insights and Prioritizing Growth with VWO Insights – Web
Imagine a world devoid of customer behavior analysis tools. There would be no dearth of challenges faced by brands in such a scenario: Understanding customer preferences, personalizing experiences, retaining a loyal customer base, and optimizing marketing strategies would become elusive goals. The absence of these tools could easily cast a shadow over product development and result in missed cross-selling opportunities, posing an existential threat to digital businesses.
Luckily for us, the reality is different. The strategic implementation of cutting-edge customer behavior analysis tools has helped numerous brands overcome these hurdles and position themselves to thrive in the ever-evolving market dynamics.
Leveraging user behavior analysis for transformative improvements
To maximize customer insights and strategically prioritize growth, companies have customer analysis tools at their disposal. These can be used to define clear goals and key metrics, implement robust tracking mechanisms, meticulously segment user data, and discern meaningful patterns in user behavior.
VWO Insights – Web, has the power of features like session recordings, heatmaps, surveys, and form analytics. It goes beyond mere observations to dive deep into user interactions, identifies issues with surgical precision, and provides actionable insights that shape the very fabric of design decisions.
You can browse all sessions of a visitor in a single hub to understand their complete journey. You no longer need to miss any intricacies of their journey – in fact, you witness firsthand how they navigate and experience your website.
Say, for instance, your goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new user interface and identify opportunities to enhance the visitor journey.
You begin by accessing the session recordings tool to observe user interactions on the website. The focus is on users who successfully complete a purchase, aiming to understand their journey from landing on the homepage to completing the checkout process.
You can see whether your users navigate easily through your redesigned homepage – whether the simplified layout and clear call-to-action buttons contribute to a positive first impression. You can check how quickly visitors find the product categories they are interested in, and note down instances of confusion or hesitation.
If session recordings and heatmaps highlight users smoothly browsing through product pages, you can check whether the transition from product selection to cart management is as seamless as you’d like. The clickmap, scrollmap heatmap, and session recordings all come in handy to analyze the efficiency and placement of the add-to-cart button.
You can also evaluate the checkout process if you notice an increase in abandoned carts. How are users progressing through the checkout steps? Session recordings can show any issues they encounter giving you the opportunity to brainstorm optimization ideas like adding clear progress indicators, concise form fields, or the option to save payment information.
With a quick setup and a free trial, you can harness the comprehensive analytics offered by VWO Insights – Web to guide transformative improvements on your website, ensuring a digital experience that resonates powerfully with your audience.
In the following section, we present 3 case studies of high-growth brands that used VWO Insights – Web to fast-track their UX goals.
Success stories: The power of surveys, session recordings & heatmaps
Bear Mattress identified issues with their product detailed pages: low click activity, less interaction with products, non-engaging copy
Bear Mattress, a sleep wellness trailblazer, sought to elevate its revenue game by tapping into cross-selling opportunities. Teaming up with VWO, they embarked on a strategic journey to optimize their website and boost conversion rates, aiming to redefine the sleep experience for their diverse customer base, spanning athletes to professionals.
Honing in on the ‘Cross-sell Flow’ on mattress product detail pages, Bear Mattress identified challenges with the help of VWO Insights – Web.
The following observations were made:
- Not many people clicked on the ‘Frequently bought with mattress’ section that shows other products you might like. Compared to other parts of the page, not many clicks happened on those suggested products, as seen in the heatmap.
- In the ‘Frequently bought with mattress’ part, there were no pictures of the items, making people less interested in that section. It affected how much people engaged with that part of the page.
- Also, the words used were more about the product than what the customer might like. The words didn’t make customers curious or give them good reasons to think about buying the product.
A daring redesign of the cross-sell section based on these insights led to a 24.18% uplift in successful purchases and a remarkable 16.21% revenue boost.
Micro Focus identified the cause of the low form completion rate with form analysis: no indication of mandatory fields
In the intricate realm of digital transformation, Micro Focus, a stalwart with almost five decades of history, embarked on a journey to redefine success in a dynamic marketplace. The team championed optimization efforts across Micro Focus’s digital properties.
The goals were crystal clear for this seasoned team— Home page enhancements, revenue page elements, and an overall superior user experience were top priorities.
Deep-diving into user interactions using VWO Insights’ heatmaps, scrollmaps, and session recordings, the team unearthed critical observations. Mandatory form fields lacked asterisks, free trial CTAs were below the fold, and the Marketplace domain needed product linkage for traffic flow.
When these crucial issues were addressed, a 12.37% uplift in form completion rate and a 124.13% increase in traffic to revenue-generating product pages were achieved.
IMB Bank identified the friction that led to high drop-offs on their website pages and form: lack of instructions, uncertainty around USP, and missing social proof
IMB Bank, a financial stalwart since 1880, leveraged VWO to uncover hidden engagement opportunities and boost conversions by a remarkable 87%.
User behavior research using VWO Insights – Web, including heatmaps, funnel analysis, form analysis, and session recordings, guided the team. The results spoke volumes:
Personal loan conversion rate: A stellar 36% increase.
Home loan conversion rate: Soared by an impressive 87%.
The team ran two campaigns:
Campaign 1: Personal loan application form – 1st page optimized
Addressing a high drop-off rate on the first page identified by VWO Insights – Web, elements like USPs, awards, time indicators, improved design, and clear instructions were introduced. The result: a 9% increase in form completions, later escalating to a 12% YoY boost.
Campaign 2: Personal loan application form – exit popup
Analyzing an 84% drop-off before completing the form, an exit popup was employed. While not impacting form completion significantly, there was a surge in users saving the form. Recognizing the need for additional information, the ‘save’ option proved highly impactful. Post-implementation saved forms and resumed completions soared by 37% and 250%, respectively.
