EmotionsAI Fuels a Bold Approach for a North American Insurance Company

140% application submissions

340% emails addresses collected

A North American insurance company, known for providing health and life insurance, partnered with AB Tasty to take its customer experience to the next level. Using EmotionsAI, they transformed how they connect with their customers—getting to the heart of what people really want and need. The result? Smarter, more agile personalization that boosts engagement and drives big results.

CHALLENGE

In the early days of its digital transformation, the company relied on assumptions to guide its personalization strategy. This approach made it hard to keep up with user needs, let alone adapt quickly. They needed a solution that wasnʼt just smart—it had to be insightful and flexible. Thatʼs where AB Tastyʼs EmotionsAI came in, turning their assumptions into a data-driven game plan, enabling bold, agile strategies powered by emotional insights.

EXPERIMENTING WITH EMOTIONSAI

EmotionsAI opened up a whole new world of understanding. By segmenting users based on emotional needs—like “Need for Competitionˮ and “Need for Safetyˮ—the company started creating hyper-targeted, meaningful experiences. Every insight became an opportunity to test, tweak, and try again, helping them build momentum toward measurable success.

  1. Boosting engagement with email capture
    Low engagement on the dental page for mobile users was a challenge. This prompted the team to introduce an “Email My Quoteˮ pop-up for those who hadnʼt scrolled within 20 seconds. This simple nudge proved highly effective in capturing leads:
    ● 340.54% increase in email addresses collected
    ● 0% impact on ongoing application activity

With EmotionsAI, weʼre finding unique ways to capture our usersʼ attention and engage them effectively.

AVP of Ecommerce
  1. Winning Back Application Abandoners
    Not every customer finishes what they start. For users who abandoned their application but returned to the dental landing page, the team tested an automatic quote widget. This gentle reminder worked wonders:
    ● 95.83% increase in applications started
    ● 23.47% increase in applications submitted
  2. Addressing “Need for Immediacyˮ with FAQs
    For users craving quick answers, the team brought FAQs front and center—strategically placing them right above the quote area for dental insurance. By giving customers what they needed faster, they encouraged more completed applications:
    ● 140.33% increase in application submissions with FAQs above the quote section.

“The insights from EmotionsAI enable us to fine-tune content placement based on customer needs, driving immediate results.

Digital Marketing Strategist
  1. Engaging Non-Buyers with a Pop-In
    Not every visitor is ready to commit right away, and thatʼs okay. For users lingering on the page without taking the next step, the team used a pop-in targeting emotional segments like “Safety,ˮ “Comfort,ˮ “Community,ˮ “Immediacy,ˮ and “Notoriety.ˮ It was the nudge these users needed:
    ● 55.18% increase in Kit submits among targeted segments.

INTERNAL IMPACT

EmotionsAI has transformed how this insurance provider approaches testing. By embracing a data-driven culture of agility and improvement, the team has started building trust across the organization. Marketing and customer service are now exploring how EmotionsAI insights can refine their strategies, setting the stage for future cross-department collaboration. While iterative testing has long been part of their process, EmotionsAI takes it to the next level. By integrating emotional segmentation into their strategy, the team has made testing more precise and impactful—turning insights into actions that resonate with their audience.

EmotionsAI is not just a tool; itʼs changing how we approach customer experience, making us bolder and more effective across the board.

Ecommerce Manager

With EmotionsAI, this North American insurance company is just getting started. Hereʼs whatʼs next:
● Personalized call center experiences: Using emotional insights to make real-time interactions more meaningful.
● Smarter digital remarketing: Refining campaigns to resonate with high value customer segments.

Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Singapore, The Pan Pacific Hotels Group operates over 20 luxury hotels, resorts and serviced suites across Asia, North America, Oceania and Europe. The hospitality giant has stepped foot into the world of personalization, and AB Tasty is their platform of choice.

CHALLENGE

How a Dedicated Optimization Program Helped Fragrance Direct Delight Its Customers

+21% Revenue Uplift

+20% Increase in Transactions

Fragrance Direct is a UK-based pure-play beauty retailer who has been operating since 1993. It sells over 14,000 products across 600 big-name brands, designer labels, and high street favorites. In addition to fragrances, Fragrance Direct sells makeup, skincare, and haircare products from both everyday and luxury brands. Fragrance Direct has been partnering with AB Tasty for over 2 years, and for just under 2 years with Endless Gain.

The Objective

To improve Fragrance Direct’s customers’ experience and generate the business more sales and profit. AB Tasty and Endless Gain approached this in three key ways with outstanding results.

The Approach

Social proof messaging helps instill trust in Fragrance Direct among customers

Research showed that the wider market awareness of Fragrance Direct was quite low. A variety of social proof messages were successfully introduced to new customers. These social proof experiences delivered an increase of over 8% in the user conversion rate.

Personalization helps strengthen an already-strong trading period

Fragrance Direct does very well during three gifting seasons: Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Christmas, through the Fragrance Finder page.

However, research showed that traffic volumes were low on this page (even during peak periods) despite high conversion rates, and users surveyed said they didn’t actually know what they were looking for from a gifting point of view when they arrived on this page. Using AB Tasty’s Audiences feature, Endless Gain identified users arriving on-site either looking for gifts or unsure about what to buy. These specific user segments were prompted with the question “Searching for gift?”.

Users who clicked on the prompt were taken to the Fragrance Finder page where they were then able to, through a series of personalized questions, engage with and find their desired gift.
The prompt was not shown to users who were not looking for gifts, in order to avoid distracting them and disrupting their journey with the brand. With tactical usage, this personalized strategy delivered a 10% increase in the user conversion rate for Fragrance Direct during their peak periods.

Helping customers checkout faster, and easily, increases sales

Multiple pieces of research highlighted the checkout funnel as one of the key priorities. Various steps within the funnel (and the fields within them) caused considerable friction for customers. Each of these elements, either singularly or combined, were likely to be harming conversions. Endless Gain redesigned multiple elements with the checkout. Through experimentation, the improvements increased the user conversion rate by 2%.

“Using AB Tasty, an efficient and flexible experimentation and personalization platform, enabled us to build on our optimization approach. To continue to build on that, we decided to hire Endless Gain. Working with Endless Gain means we get dedicated resources who are focused 100% of their time on improving our
customers experience without the distraction of day-to-day business challenges.”

Decathlon Scores Big With Social Proof

3.3% Increase in Transactions

2.8% Revenue Lift for Returning Visitors

Whether you’re a converted couch potato or an experienced athlete, Decathlon has something for everyone. Present in 52 countries, Decathlon designs and sells sporting goods, both online and in 1,600 brick-and-mortar locations.

Challenge

Decathlon’s mission is to make sports accessible to all. One of the ways they accomplish this is through offering a wide array of choice – 10,000 products covering 80 sports are sold on Decathlon’s website. With a range of price points and styles, there is an almost dizzying array of items to choose from. For some shoppers – especially those trying out an activity for the first time – this amount of choice might seem overwhelming.

How could Decathlon help shoppers get situated?

Social Proof Hypothesis

“We know that social proof – the idea that, when unsure, people look to others for direction – is a powerful and effective concept,” explains David Harari, Customer Success Manager at AB Tasty. “In the context of e-commerce, this means people are influenced by what their peers are interested in when deciding what to buy. We wanted to test out if a simple line of social proof messaging would nudge website visitors further down the purchase funnel.”

To do this, Decathlon’s UK digital team ran an experiment based on AB Tasty’s Social Proof widget. The AI-powered widget dynamically surfaces the number of times a product is viewed by other shoppers on a site in a given timeframe. This gives other browsers an idea of which items are getting more traction.

“We thought it could be that extra little nudge to hit ‘add to basket’ – and might help certain customers continue through the purchase funnel,” elaborates Florent Beck, UX Leader at Decathlon UK. The team set up an A/B test on 400 product pages to see whether this kind of social proof messaging would have an impact on visitors’ purchase decisions. The text was inserted automatically just below the customer reviews ratings (another element of social proof), and above the product description. “What was really handy about the AB Tasty widget was that we can set a minimum amount of views before the message showed. In this case, we chose 20 – so if fewer than that number of people viewed the product, the message wouldn’t show, and once it hit 20, it would automatically appear,” explained Florent.

Results

Adding this simple line of social proof messaging not only increased clicks on the ‘Add to cart’ button, it also bumped up transactions and revenue. For all audiences, clicks increased by 1.5%, transactions by 2.4% and revenue by 1.3%.

Interestingly, when the team segmented the results by certain audience profiles, they realized that the social proof messaging worked better on returning visitors. They clicked 2.8% more, with an increase of 3.3% on transactions and 2.8% for revenue lift. “This might indicate that shoppers that know and trust the Decathlon brand are even more likely to put stock in others in the Decathlon community, versus first time visitors who are more wary,” explained David.

Even more interesting was when they dove into the data to look for what kinds of products this messaging worked best with. They also discovered that the social proof approach worked better for lower priced items – less than 10 pounds – versus more expensive, ‘investment items’, like a nice bike or set of skis. This kind of information can help Decathlon increase the efficacy of their campaigns in the future, and scale up this tactic for other markets.

“We value our community at Decathlon. What’s great about this kind of social proof messaging is that it’s a way to automatically let people take the opinions of other Decathlon shoppers into account – if a certain product is popular or trending, others can know that in real time as they’re browsing. From a business perspective, it increases our transaction rate and revenue, and from a customer experience perspective, it helps orient shoppers.” – Florent Beck, UX Leader, Decathlon UK
