13% Revenue Per Visitor Lift
@optimizely @chrisgoward @shanehale7
The Situation Three Years Ago• High Volume website with a one-person optimization team
• Leveraged an ad server AB Testing and Optimizely for UX tests
• Revenue was reported in Adobe Analytics
• 4 - 8 tests per month
• “Hunt and peck” optimization strategy
• Confidence in test results was lacking
• Unknown optimization opportunity
