Purpose

Answer: “How do I measure and improve upsell performance?”

⭐ Why This Matters

Without measurement:

• You guess instead of optimize
• Discounts erode margin silently
• High-performing surfaces go unnoticed

⚙️ How A/B Testing Works

Each test splits traffic into:

• Control (A) → original offer
• Variant (B) → modified version

📊 Metrics Tracked

• Views
• Conversions
• Revenue
• Click-through rate
• Average Order Value (AOV)

🧪 Creating an A/B Test

Step 1: Hypothesis

Define one change only.

Example:

“Increasing discount from 10% to 15% improves conversion.”

Step 2: Metric Selection

Choose one:

• Conversion rate
• Revenue
• AOV
• Click-through rate

Step 3: Surfaces

Tests run per surface.

Rules:

• One test per surface at a time
• Requires at least two active offers

Step 4: Duration

Recommended:

• Minimum 14 days
• Or until statistical significance
