How to run this test

  • Page exit rateTrack exits among visitors who see the strip.
  • Support contacts about strip claimsTrack questions about the benefits stated in the strip.
  • Main headline visibilityCheck whether the strip pushes the main headline below the first screen.

What to check before and during the test

  • Keep constantKeep the headline, CTA and rest of the page unchanged.
  • TermsState any important conditions for each benefit.
  • MobileReview line breaks and remaining space for the main message.
  • Separate testsDifferent claims, placement or visual emphasis are separate comparisons.

Setup mistakes to avoid

  1. 1Do not include a benefit the product does not actually provide.
  2. 2Do not change strip content and headline together.
  3. 3Do not turn the strip into a fixed, non-dismissible overlay.
  4. 4Do not present a conditional offer, such as free shipping above a minimum spend, as unconditional.
  5. 5Do not cram in more than three items until they become unreadable.
