USECASE #2

 

Increasing AOV by 35% with Insider’s Progress Bar

The challenge

Philips wanted to create an engaging customer purchase journey that would improve the AOV of each user. It looked to implement an innovative onsite solution that would address this challenge.

The solution

Insider’s growth experts suggested implementing a Progress Bar to encourage users to spend more. This was added once a user had added an item to their cart. When the value of the cart was below a certain threshold, users were shown the Progress Bar, reminding them of the current value of the cart and how much more must be added to become eligible for shipping offers. This visible, real-time engagement improved clicks and onsite engagement.

USE CASE #3

Driving a further 3.8% increase in AOV and 14% increase in CVR with Social Proof

The challenge

Philips observed a large percentage of its Web users would add products to their cart but fail to complete their purchase. The brand wanted to implement an innovative solution that would motivate users to complete their purchase sooner, while building trust and increasing engagement.

The solution

Having understood the objectives and desired goals, Insider recommended displaying a Socialroof message for users who already had placed products in their carts. Social Proof is a powerful conversion driver—visitors can see if other people have viewed, purchased, or left a positive review for a product they’re currently interested in. This creates a sense of urgency while building trust around the product and brand.
