• We’re still learning a lot more about the brain• It’s still very early days yet – and lots of big data involved• More and more EEG (electrical) and MRI (scans) testing• The US military plans to use MRI to recruit dogs –
optimising for fast & loyal learners(1)
• Usability testers now using multiple sensors during tests : EEG headsets, Heart rate, Blood pressure, Skin conductivity, temperature and even salivary hormones(2)
• You can even buy ‘Mind Control’ games and toys now! (3)
• And just as this is all happening• We get an explosion in new devices, contexts and ways of
interacting with brands and each other• So the Psychological landscape of consumer emotions is
being better understood, whilst also being disrupted• This is why I love my job!

Caroline Jarrett : @cjforms
Luke Wroblewski : @lukew
• Informed by their work and with copywriting from @stickycontent, we crafted a survey for Autoglass.
• We got a 35% clickthrough rate and a whopping 94% form completion rate. 9 pages long. Sweet.
• Luke Wroblewski’s work on Forms, Psychology, UX and Design is the best in the world – and essential for anyone working on a website. @OptimiseOrDi

@OptimiseOrDie
• There are many split test examples of review creative driving trust and sales
• Social signals increasingly important
• From hand picked• To user driven• To socially driven• You must get a reviews
infrastructure to collect, respond to and use them on other customers!
• Reviews are useful – they also SELL

Photo UX
24 Jan 2012
• Persuasion / Influence / Direction / Explanation
• Helps people process information and stories
• Vital to sell an ‘experience’
• Helps people recognise and discriminate between things
• Supports Scanning Visitors
• Drives emotional response
short.cx/YrBczl
• Very powerful and under-estimated area
• I’ve done over 20M visitor tests with people images for a service industry – some tips:
• The person, pose, eye gaze, facial expressions and body language – cause visceral emotional reactions and big changes in behaviour
• Eye gaze crucial – to engage you or to ‘point’
Photo UX
24 Jan 2012@OptimiseOrDie
• Negative body language is a turnoff • Uniforms and branding a positive (ball
cap) • Hands are hard to handle – use a prop to
help• For Ecommerce – tip! test bigger images!• Autoglass and Belron always use real
people• In most countries (out of 33) with strong
female and male images in test, female wins
• Smile and authenticity in these examples is absolutely vital
• So, I have a question for you

Desktops?Step 1 : Add ‘Click to reveal’

• This is a great budget option!
Step 2 : Invest in call analytics
• Unique visitor tracking for desktop
• Gives you that detailed marketing data
• Easy to implement
• Integrates with your web analytics
• Let me explain…

Agile, Lean, Split Testing – need UX
@OptimiseOrDie
1. Disruption or continual product improvement needs the customer at the heart of everything, even though the landscape is often changing.
2. Although we try to use these techniques, they’re sometimes levers we pull without understanding why they work or how we can best exploit them
3. Even new disruptive businesses like Uber and Airbnb – rely on one thing – a brilliant experience that glues all parties together in a delightful and carefully crafted messaging and feedback loops.
4. Airbnb – Device, context, messaging, privacy, disputes5. Mobile contextual experiences are our design future –
get used to understanding how context and device can shape the psychology of the consumer
6. Companies without the test / measure / feedback / learn cycle are vulnerable to leaner competition
The future of testing?

How is it working out for Craig?• Methodologies are not Real Life ™• It’s about the mindset of the team and managers,
not the tools or methodologies they play with• Not all my clients have all the working parts• You should not be a methodology slave – feel free to
roll your own• Use some, any techniques instead of ‘guessing’• Blending Lean and Agile UX with conversion
optimisation techniques is my critical insight from the last 5 years:
Belron World Conversion Rate Increase:2009 +5%, 2010 +10%, 2011 +15%, 2012 +25%Rush Hair (Within 3 months)Bookings +77% and Phone +33%
• Don’t over complicate it. JFDI.

Photography Guidelines - Belron
• Groups, vans, stores, head office, corporate guff = NO
• Single person – not groups or even person + customer (ignoring you)
• Open, Friendly, Natural, Smiling, Engaged, Alert = YES
• Smile best with eye crinkles
• Uniform – has huge effect, even wearing branded hat improves conversion
• Look straight at viewer or slightly towards CTA
• No folded arms, arms on hips, pointing, scowling, cheesy smiles, hands behind back, hanging useless by the side, clasped by groin, fiddling with hands
• Plain backgrounds only or free of distractions
• Arms with prop instead – hold a clipboard, rag, tool – I’m working for *you*
• Female images work best in almost every country – they slay the guys
• Natural, authentic and not ‘model’ or ‘stock’ image types work best for people
• Some of our best performing images would be rejected by advertisers as ‘too ugly.
