Variation

If we tailor PDP content based on whether a user is new or returning, then the PDP conversion rate for both segments will increase because new users will get the information needed to build confidence, while returning users will see a faster, sales-driven path to purchase.

What We Changed

  • New visitors saw more educational content focused on product benefits.
  • Returning visitors experienced a streamlined layout with stronger CTAs.
  • Reduced distractions for returning visitors to enhance conversion focus.
  • Emphasized social proof for new visitors to build trust.
