Landing Page and Pricing Experiments

You can run landing page experiments to improve conversion and pricing experiments to find the price or packaging that maximizes revenue and retention.

A practical way to think about them is:

  • Landing page experiments test changes to the page experience, such as hero images, CTA placement, form length, testimonials, colors, and message-offer alignment.
  • Pricing experiments test changes to price, packaging, discounts, tiers, or add-ons while keeping the rest of the experience stable so you can isolate the effect of price.

Key ideas from the sources:

  • Start with a clear hypothesis and measurable goal before testing.
  • Use control and variation groups so you can compare outcomes cleanly.
  • Track the metrics that matter most, such as conversion rate, ARPU, revenue, retention, and margin.
  • For pricing, test changes in packaging and presentation as well as price itself, since the way an offer is framed can change customer choice.
  • Be careful with direct price tests on the same product for different visitors; one source recommends testing different but comparable offers instead of showing different prices for the exact same product to different users.
  • Pricing experiments should also consider customer experience, not just short-term revenue.

Examples of landing page experiments include:

  • Testing different hero images.
  • Moving or repeating CTAs within the page.
  • Breaking long forms into multiple steps.
  • Testing testimonial format and placement.
  • Adjusting colors for CTA visibility.

Examples of pricing experiments include:

  • Offering a skip-trial discount or intro discount.
  • Testing single-plan vs. multi-plan structures.
  • Using price anchoring with a higher-priced tier next to the target plan.
  • Bundling an add-on into core plans.
  • Testing discount presentation such as slashed MSRP or percentage-off framing.

If you want, I can turn this into a test plan for your product, including hypotheses, variants, and success metrics.
