Increase Signups by Adding Video to Your Page

The heading is rather misleading. It actually should say "Some site somewhere increased sign-ups by adding video to their page. You may or may not get the same effect, depending on a vast myriad of factors." But I guess that's not very catchy is it.

Is the form for trials or paid customers? Seems the form is for trials which effects only the # of trials which was only marginally higher. What is the process to convert from trials to paid and is the video really the cause in the massive jump?<p>There were also other small subtle changes like the addition of "Request Instant Price Quote" headline etc.

The Obama people, in a much, much bigger test, found that having a video on their splash page decreased signups.

How was the testing done? Every other pageview delivered over a 7 day period had the video?<p>If you tested by running one for 7 days and the other for 7 days, there are numerous other possible factors. Even the comparison of Friday versus Saturday traffic could have enough variation on a small sample to skew results. Internet congestion might have slowed the site down during one test, awareness might predispose people to be more likely to convert beyond trial or even the fact that the video version renders more quickly to the surfer proving that html design and page render time may have been the deciding factor. I didn't see any mention on the site how the trial was actually conducted, but, based on the other test results, I don't see enough isolation of variables to decidedly say the video was the sole factor.

The lesson in A/B testing isn't to find magic bullets in other people's results. It's to actually <i>do</i> A/B testing. If you could generalize from other people's results, you could just catalog what works and be done. It doesn't work that way.

This is especially interesting for me (because normally I am put off by video), do you think is because the video highlighted the installation procedure better or do you think generally people prefer video?

I think it was because the video helped the user understand the product better. All about education.
