Make your site decisions based on data, not on executive gut feelings.

To many marketing and creative directors are "guessing" to what drives their conversion improvements. If your eCommerce business is not taking a scientific approach to learning what works on your site, you are likely paying higher acquisition costs than necessary and leaving incremental sales on the table.

Multivariate testing from Trinity Insight will help you better understand which website variables most impact your sales performance. We make both the implementation and management of the solution headache free and work directly with you and your team to craft an ongoing testing strategy.

We utilize the reliable website optimizer testing platform that provided by Google. This system will have no impact to your search engine ranking and search spiders are not aware that a test is even ongoing. All test components are served at the browser level only and are installed without any significant help from your IT department.

If you are trying to get someone to take an action on your site, you must be testing. Trinity can help you refine your creatives and test the following components and more:

- Landing Pages
- Promotions
- Page Layouts
- Messaging and Headlines
- Cart and Checkout Variables

Our reporting makes the data simple to understand and allows comparison into key core metrics. Using Trinity to conduct your testing and creative development processes is like having an in-house website analyst and designer at a fraction of the cost.

When to test

If you are wondering if you should be conducting multivariate testing on your website, then you probably should be.

More than any other effort to optimize your site metrics, multivariate testing will increase the effectiveness of your marketing messages, calls to action, and drive higher levels of response within prospects and customers alike.

No matter if your goals are increased product revenue for an eCommerce retailer, increased engagement for a services business or content publisher, or more qualified online prospects for lead generation, multivariate testing with Trinity Insight will help your online business become more profitable online.

Multivariate testing is a fundamental component within any online marketing or eCommerce strategy. Because user attention on the web is fleeting and the opportunity to make a favorable impression is limited, it is paramount that you optimize your website with varied forms of content.

What things to test

So you are ready to take the testing plunge. You have executive buy-in, your team is excited, and you are ready to incorporate multivariate testing within your online business.

Now comes the fun, albeit challenging, aspect of multivariate testing – the process of identifying pages on the website to be tested and conceptualizing testing variations that will help you reach your online goals.

Trinity Insight analysts work with your stakeholders to make this process painless. By incorporating multivariate testing best practices, Trinity Insight is able to effectively launch a testing program with little or no help from your corporate IT department.

As a first step, our analysts first identify high value areas of the site through a detailed review of your web analytics data. This process helps you and your team gain intelligence into the most important pages of the site and how these pages are currently performing.

At this step, Trinity analysts will recommend an initial sub-set of pages and variables for testing. We develop a testing strategy for either a 3 or 6 month duration and provide this documentation to our clients prior to launch of a multivariate testing engagement.

This strategy documentation outlines the core metrics we are looking to optimize (ex. conversion rate), the pages for which we will be testing (ex. furniture category page), the page elements that are being tested (ex. primary promotional spot), and the variables that will be tested (ex. Free Shipping promo/$100.00 off all leather sofas/Free stain protection with all sofas).

No matter if you are an eCommerce store looking to be more sophisticated with your merchandising or a lead generation enterprise looking to extract more value from your visitors, multivariate testing with Trinity Insight will help your business excel online.

How it works

The testing plan is ready. Now it's time to start executing the creative and technology components that define a multivariate testing project.
