Conversion

Safe experiments feel comfortable. But they’re also why growth can stall. Your experimentation program needs the same thing your portfolio does: a risk profile. Here’s the breakdown: 🔹 Low risk = incremental tweaks 🔹 Medium risk = new but manageable ideas 🔹 High risk = disruptive bets your competitors won’t touch On this episode of The Conversion Podcast, we unpack: Why low-risk loops trap most companies Practical exercises to design bolder tests How to de-risk high-upside ideas without killing them Real-world examples include: Domino’s charging for delivery, SaaS dropping free trials, pharmacies validating same-day pickup. In less than 20 minutes, you’ll know how to shift from safe to strategic. Listen here → https://lnkd.in/eAiPvFQv #abtesting #experimentation #CRO

Most business decisions aren’t made with data – they’re made with gut instinct. The problem? Instinct-driven choices often hurt growth. That’s where A/B testing comes in. Too often it’s seen as a way to validate small tweaks — a headline here, a colour change there. But its real power is far greater: 👉 It lets brands test bold ideas without the risk of a full rollout. 👉 It turns customers into active participants in decision-making. 👉 It separates what actually works from what just “feels right.” Take T.M. Lewin. By simply clarifying shirt sizing (“regular” vs “long”), we drove a 7% sales uplift. Or the pizza brand that tested new flavours before they even existed — and cut a year off their product development cycle. The fastest-growing companies (Amazon, Meta, eBay) are relentless experimenters. And smaller brands can use the same approach. You don’t need a huge budget — just traffic, curiosity, and the willingness to test. Because here’s the truth: only ~30% of changes improve performance. The rest are neutral or harmful. If you’re not testing, you’re gambling. Experimentation isn’t just about safer choices. It’s about braver ones.
