90 Days, Exhaustive User Research, and a 58% Jump in Conversion Rate for a Major Retailer!

Buying refurbished tech requires trust.

Before 180 Marketing, a major tech retailer struggled with…

  • Spiking CAC

  • Tanking buyer confidence at the point of purchase for refurbished IT products 

  • Increased prospect queries about refurbishment grades 

  • Chaotic user experience

Confidence Dropped at the Moment of Purchase.

Buyers needed more information & clarity about:

  • What refurbishment grade meant

  • Warranties

  • The product condition

Unclear information
created hesitation at the 


exact moment of purchase.

Then entered
180 Marketing.
They started with data, not assumptions.

Insights turned into
experiments quickly.

10 A/B tests in 90 days

Quick wins identified

First tests in 2 weeks

Momentum over perfection

Research indicated that shoppers had concerns regarding the quality of refurbished IT equipment. While the brand only sold high-quality devices, this was not sufficiently clear on the site. This test highlighted item warranties. The variant increased (CVR) by 17.7% at a 98% confidence level.

Corporate shoppers reported difficulties when placing bulk orders due to a lack of clarity regarding item availability across different refurbishment grades. Detailing product availability by grade increased CVR by 10.1% at a 90% confidence level.

180 Marketing Made Trust Visible

Hypothesis → Test → Learning

Results Followed Consistency!

Bruno and his team have run 1/3rd of all the planned tests in the backlog. And they are just getting started.

  • Their North Start Metric (NSM): Revenue per User (RPU). It balances both conversion rate and average order value (AoV)

  • The program saw a 58% increase in conversion rate over a period of 12 months.

The Tech Stack of Champions:

  • GA4 

  • Heatmapping & session recordings 

  • Convert Experiences (A/B testing)  

Convert gave us the flexibility to easily set projects using either Bayesian and Frequentist methodologies, plus the ability to set specific statistical thresholds per project, making it significantly easier to monitor and maintain agreed-upon significance levels.
The "Deploy" feature is a huge help to keep momentum as soon as experiments are completed.
