WHAT WE'VE SEEN

Hypothesis

We've seen that Omer and his team's problem was a mixed selling proposition, i.e. several things offered at once, which means several points of entry to the conversion funnel.

Why a problem is the problem? 

Several points of entry to the conversion funnel means less predictability and less control on the part of a product, which results in many drop off. 

What they offered was several paid finance courses as well as a free option in one place. Also, the free option was the basic course which was not created to its fullest, so the School had a huge number of drop-offs after this free course. And people would not come back. 


So this mixed offer would require a user to make a choice whether to buy right now or to go for a free course, even if it was not the most representative  of the company's capabilities.

What We Did

Scope of our work included 4 main assignments:

Landing page copy

Landing page UX

Videos and Social proofs

A/B testing of alternative funnels

A cover image of open of Global Finance School's courses

Restating the Value Proposition

well written selling pitch

prioritising the first screen vs others

featuring video with the coarse samples

So we suggested restating the value of preposition on a target landing page.

Creating A/B tests with three variants of the page

What we've done as per each LP test is:

a clear call to action focused to the customer value

ease of navigation of the page and UX

reviews of real people taken from the page on Facebook

As a result of A B testing,  the landing page without free course featuring the video samples of the course was a winner.
