At Mobile1st, we are in the business of perfecting mobile conversion. That means propelling enhanced user experiences and elevating mobile conversion rates for ecommerce and brand marketing firms. To accomplish this goal, our team of mobile experts employ a toolbox jam-packed with over 65 partner apps for A/B testing, improving user experience, reducing page load times and delivering greater order conversion rates. And our team prides itself on staying up-to-date on the latest technology, testing, software updates and tinkering with what’s new and best.
In fact we’ve even invented our own priority software, Mobilizer™, for analyzing visual UX on phones and tablets. But here I want to bring to your attention another tool that has impressed us for its effectiveness and ease of use. Monetate Test & Segment™, which has proved effective for small and midsize businesses as well as enterprise firms like J. Crew and Office Depot, is now available through a new partnership with Mobile1st that offers the benefits of both.
Mobile1st is one of Monetate’s most valued partners: authorized to resell, service and support Monetate Test & Segment. It’s the exact same solution that is available for purchase directly from Monetate, but it is offered here coupled with conversion rate optimization and Monetate implementation expertise from Mobile1st.
Defining Testing and Segmentation
Certainly, I’ve discussed A/B testing multiple times (including here and here). This process of experimental testing directs your traffic to competing versions of your website in order to assess which one performs better. A/B testing is a foundational tool for all E-commerce and online retailer efforts. It lets marketing masters quantitatively verify their intuitions about what drives conversion and elevates user experience.
A/B testing is one of the core methods of website personalization. Segmentation is a related method, also under the personalization umbrella. With segmentation, your stream of traffic is divided up according to such variables as demographics, point of origin, local weather, types of interactions with your websites, and more. The tool helps identify the segments that are most impactful for your business, so that your team can generate targeted offers and designs for different audience groups. The next step is to use A/B testing to measure the performance of messaging, specialized offers, and a UX tailored to each segment, to see how that enhances conversion. For example, customer segments can be offered discounts, promotions, or special functionality. Each set of test results supplies learning for the next round of enhancements, ensuring a dynamic and accelerating process of conversion optimization.
Segmentation and testing can be extremely technical exercises when performed 100% manually, but they are made much more accessible by the latest wave in automated testing tools. Your test and segment tool should be easy and intuitive on the front end for marketing teams, while on the back end, automation and time-tested algorithms should do all the heavy lifting.
The best platforms, including Monetate, identify the most critical segments by seamlessly combining:
- Data from your own CRM and POS
- Contextual data — derived from search behavior, demographics, shopping activities and more
- And lastly, real-time data based on prospect interaction with your website and your A/B tests
