3 Advanced Split Test Strategies To Try First

One benefit of being an OCU Plus member is our team of experts runs your split tests for you. As we roll out new features like the new advanced split testing, you’ll have your very own researcher and funnel builder optimizing offers tailored to your brand.

By leveraging 6 years of user data gathered from thousands of Shopify stores, our OCU Plus team knows how to build effective split tests that continue to improve over time.

#1 The Pricing Strategy

First, we’ll test different pricing and discounts to discover which offer drives the most revenue and conversions.

Traditionally, a full-priced item is tested against a 10-20% discount

But with Advanced Split Testing, we can now test 2 additional pricing combinations at the same time in the same offer:

Four different post-purchase upsells with different discounts being split tested inside OCU.

This gives us direct insight into the acceptable price range of a given upsell and the highest and lowest converting sale price.

And contrary to what you’d expect — the highest converting offer isn’t always the one with the biggest discount. In a recent case study, we’ve actually seen an OCU Plus Member’s customers prefer a smaller discount.

When starting your first advanced split test with varied pricing, our team of OCU Plus experts recommends testing these offer types:

#2 The Product Size & Quantity Strategy

Next, we’ll find your ideal product quantity and size.

If you offer consumables or bundles in your store — or if you can sell the same items in different combinations — then this is a test you want to start right away!

For your second advanced split test, we recommend testing these 4 different product quantities:

The four offers of the OCU product size/quantities strategy.

By discovering what your highest-performing quantity is, you gain lucrative insight for your next promotion or product launch.

If you know your customers prefer a 5-pack over a 3-pack, then you can use that information to directly increase your sales and average order value.

This same strategy is potent during the holidays when determining which bundles serve best as complementary upsells to your primary item.

Here’s an example of how you would set up an offer with interchangeable items using a basic skincare bundle as a starting point for bundle upselling:

#3 The OCU Offer Type Combinations Strategy

The third advanced split-test strategy focuses on the type of offer instead of the contents of the offer.

In the OCU app, you have the choice of 3 types of upsell offers: single offer, multi-product offer, and dynamic offer:

With advanced split testing, you can mix and match these offer types and combine this strategy with the previous strategies for even more sophisticated optimization.

When testing the different offer types in OneClickUpsell, our team of experts recommends that you start with these four:

It’s Drag and Drop, Too!

Lastly, you can also move the location of your post-purchase offers by dragging and dropping offer card positions in the funnel:

That means you can easily split test the contents of your offers and also their location.

And as part of our new Advanced Split Testing feature, OCU Plus users can leverage the new offer type distribution settings — allowing users to determine how much of your website traffic will see your upsells.

When using this feature for pre-purchase offers, you can essentially split test a new offer against no offer simply by setting the distribution to 50%:

The pre-purchase traffic distribution setting being set to 50%.

This helps determine if a pre-purchase upsell is successful without triggering a risk of abandoned carts, and it gives you more control over when you decide to reach full distribution.
