Mobile product picker by shopper priority: +6.5% purchases

WinnerOther

Letting mobile shoppers choose what matters most to them, then highlighting the matching product option, lifted purchases by 6.5%.

DRIP Agency ran the test for a DTC beauty-tech brand and published it as a case study.

The other options stayed visible, so shoppers were guided but not boxed in.

Mobile shoppers pick a priority and the matching product option is highlighted.

Simplified mockup drawn by LiftArchive from the shared screenshots.

Control

Mobile shoppers saw the standard product choice, with several variants and bundles to compare on their own.

Variant

Mobile shoppers first picked a priority: application time, value for money or the overall package. The matching product option was then highlighted, and the others stayed on screen.

Why it likely won

Our reading of the result, not the practitioner's claim.

  • The brand had several variants and bundles. On a small screen, comparing them is hard, and a guided pick cuts that work.
  • Asking about priorities matches how people think: they know what they care about before they know which bundle fits.
  • Keeping other options visible avoids the feeling of being pushed, so shoppers who disagree can still choose freely.

Caveats: Mobile only, and the page type was not stated. Significance and sample size were not shared.

How to run this test on your store

Hypothesis
If we let mobile shoppers pick their main priority and highlight the matching option, then purchases will rise because choosing between several variants becomes easier on a small screen.
Primary metric
Purchases (mobile conversion rate)
Guardrails
  • Average order value
  • Revenue per visitor
  • Product page exit rate
Who should test it
Stores with three or more variants or bundles that differ in clear ways, especially with heavy mobile traffic. It is unlikely to help when there is only one product option or the choice is simple, like size or color.

Questions

How can I help shoppers choose between product bundles?

Ask what matters most to them, such as price, time or completeness, then highlight the option that fits.

In this test that lifted mobile purchases 6.5%.

Should I hide the other options when recommending one?

Not necessarily. This test kept the other options visible, which lets shoppers who disagree with the pick still choose.

Is a product finder worth it on mobile?

It can be when the range is confusing on a small screen.

A one-step priority pick is lighter than a full quiz and adds little friction.
