Wrongly interpreting the patterns in your A/B test results can not only lose you money, it can lead you to make changes to your site that actually harm your conversion rate.

Correctly interpreting patterns in results will mean you learn more from each test you run, give you confidence that you are only making positive changes, and help you turn any losing tests into future winners.

The results of A/B tests will generally fall into one of five distinct patterns. Learn to spot these patterns, follow...

New software from ‘artificial emotional intelligence’ (AEI) company Human has the ability to recognise and track human emotions and characteristics in real time.

The technology looks at an individual’s subliminal facial expressions, those little ticks, twitches and micro-gestures that a person is not aware that they are making, but paint a detailed picture of their mental state.

The software is the first of its kind, and looks to take a brave new step from facial...

Its official – the retail Christmas trading period has arrived, with under 100 days until the big day. In the UK, the trading period generally runs from October to January, and this won’t change any time soon.

But with such a limited key shopping timeframe, many brands are looking to challenge the way the fashion industry works throughout the rest of the year – why focus only on selling cold, wintery clothes when the weather may change imminently?

Ultimately, the elements and weather...

There’s no hiding from the fact that we live in a digital world. An increasing number of our interactions with friends, business associates and companies happen online and the internet has become a powerful force that has inflicted changes on every sector.

The dating industry is no exception. Rather, this particular industry is a prime example of one that has fully embraced technological and digital advancement for the better – and more specifically, to achieve its aim of helping users find their...

Marketers have been hoovering up as much data about their customers as they can over the last few years. Increasingly though, the idea that it is the quality not the quantity of data that is important.

The rush to collect as much data as possible actually led to a lot of paralysis among organisations who suddenly couldn’t decide on the right area of focus.

Clearly all data is not created equal, so what is at the top of the priority pile for agencies and brands?

New York-based consumer behaviour and insights company...

Disruption is set to displace four of the top ten organisations across every industry. But how does disruption occur?

How are challenger brands harnessing it to their advantage? And is it possible to spot a disruptor before they start wreaking havoc in your industry?

While the word disruption may be fast approaching cliché, the sentiment behind it is very real. As is the challenge of responding to young brands...

With GDPR just 9 months away, it would be reasonable to assume that boardrooms across the UK would be filled with chatter as companies decide on what their strategies are going to be.

Well that may not be the case, according to a survey by Trend Micro and Opinium of 1,130 IT decision makers operating at C-level or middle to senior management level, from large businesses (500 plus employees) from 11 countries including the US, UK, France and Germany.

While 88% of the British business leaders are confident that...

The taxi industry is the perfect example of a traditional business that has been affected so dramatically by technology that the landscape is almost unrecognisable when compared to five years ago.

The customer journey has transformed from calling a local firm in advance, or hailing a black cab, to accessing a taxi with quick click of a button on a mobile. The taxi industry is now a whirlwind of fast-moving rideshare start-ups, posing fierce competition for the more established firms that are facing...

We’re less than a year away from the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) taking effect, and by most accounts, many brands aren’t ready for it. Marketers, in particular, need to be out in front of the changes required for compliance because it is their job that will arguably be upended most by the legislation.

GDPR will redefine, and in some...

Perhaps this was, in some way, inevitable: Walmart has got Amazon square in its sights after announcing a partnership with Google for voice-enabled shopping.

The partnership, which will become available in ‘late September’, will enable customers to pick thousands of Walmart items through Google Assistant. Carts can also be personalised, with Google having access to Walmart shoppers’ purchase histories, so enabling a smoother, more efficient shopping experience.

Perhaps most tellingly...
