Increase Opt-Ins 46.4% In 2-Minutes With This Little Change

By Todd Brown | October 28, 2008

I’ve learned over the last year how incredibly important testing all of my website changes really is.

In the past I’ve made some poor assumptions about what I thought would increase response or improve conversions, only to find out after the tests I was off the mark a bit.  In some cases, a lot!

Without testing and tracking the results, most marketers are making changes to their website, not knowing whether they’re improving their results or hurting them.

Take for example - your opt-in page.

When was the last time you tested a new headline or call-to-action or opt-in form in an attempt to improve the results you’re getting right now?

Below is a simple test I’m running right now that has allowed me to increase my opt-in rate on one webpage by 46.4%.

Testing Results

The test… only asking for email address on the opt-in form, instead of asking for name and email address.

Below is what the inside of the opt-in form looked like on the original, control webpage:

Below is the only change I made on the entire webpage:

The result - the slight, little change to the opt-in form showed a 46.4% improvement in opt-in rate.

Is this something you should immediately run and implement on your sites??

No.

It is, however, something you should immediately test on your opt-in page to see how it impacts your opt-in rate in your marketplace.
