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.
● Organization-wide adoption: Expanding EmotionsAI insights across all teams for a unified, customer-first strategy.

CONCLUSION

With the AB Tasty platform and EmotionsAI, the company has shifted from a one-and-done testing mindset to an agile, always-evolving strategy. Every test brings them closer to their “betterˮ—creating smarter, more meaningful experiences for their customers and empowering their teams to think big, act boldly, and keep improving.

On The Beach Tests the Water with Personalization

+200 more bookings online

30 experiments per month

On The Beach has perfected its personalized messaging by using AB Tasty’s experience optimization platform to speak to its different customer segments, leveraging data-driven decision-making to get more beaches to more people.

On The Beach is a UK travel company specializing in beach holidays. Known for their vibrant and dynamic brand image, they provide hassle-free and affordable beach holiday experiences. 

They strive to appeal to a wide range of travelers, offering a wide selection of destinations, accommodations, and activities.

Often highlighting the excitement and joy of beach vacations, their website showcases the company’s commitment to creating unforgettable holiday experiences. By promoting transparency, flexibility, and excellent customer service, On The Beach has established itself as a trusted and sought-after brand in the UK travel industry.

Fine Tuning the Customer Journey

As On The Beach caters to a wide range of customers, it’s important to ensure that their website provides a personalized experience according to each customer’s needs.

Customers start the journey of looking for their perfect holiday, they may often visit a website multiple times before making a final decision and reaching the final stage of purchase.

This means they have new or returning customers coming to their website. The company should be able to show it understands its customers by providing personalized and targeted messaging along the different stages of the customer/purchasing journey.

This is where testing and experimentation become vital as On The Beach finds the right messaging with the highest positive impact on its different user segments. The Conversion Rate Optimization Manager, Alex McClean, explained,

“We’re trying to look at how we can take our different customer types and give them a better, improved journey”.

An example is when they used different badges to recommend holidays to individual segments coming into their site. With the help of AB Tasty, they discovered that new users preferred a recommendation marked “Bestsellers” and that returning users reacted better to “Our pick”, as they already had trust in the brand.

Testing these various types of messages allowed them to determine the right messaging for each user group, ultimately leading to increased bookings.

The Roll-Out of AB Tasty Across the Company

On The Beach understood the advantage of being able to test and learn after seeing the impact that A/B testing has on their business. In this way, after trying simple tests, based on content and product placement, they started to increase the number of tests they did a month while bringing in other team members. 

By sharing test results, learnings, and best practices, On The Beach ensured that all departments, including marketing, product development, and customer support, had access to the latest information. This cross-team collaboration enabled the company to make data-driven decisions, implement successful optimizations, and continuously enhance the overall user experience, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and business growth. A real experimentation culture was fostered.

When we first started using AB Tasty we were looking at rolling out maybe five to ten tests a month. But now, as the business has advanced its testing capabilities and more people are getting involved, we’re rolling out 20-30 tests, with buy-in from the whole business

Key Support from AB Tasty

One of the great advantages for On The Beach, as their testing program expands, is being able to learn at speed, as well as the support they receive from AB Tasty’s teams. 

With a responsive and knowledgeable support staff, AB Tasty assists On The Beach in setting up tests, interpreting results, and implementing optimizations. They offer timely and personalized assistance, guiding the company through the testing process and offering expert advice on best practices.

Alex explains,

“For us, the real reason that we chose AB Tasty, and what differentiated AB Tasty from the competitors was the level of service that we were offered. We have complete access to developers, really attentive CSMs, It’s really beneficial to keep things moving where we don’t need to go to our development team”

The support from AB Tasty means that On The Beach can leverage and grow at speed. The learnings that are achieved through testing mean they can improve their site experience and conversions, re-iterate, and grow to provide a customer experience that speaks to their audience.

Whitepages Boosts Subscriptions with AB Tasty’s Feature Experimentation

+23% Conversion Rate Increase

The Whitepages’ company mission is to build trusted connections in today’s digital world. Since 1997, Whitepages has excelled at meeting customers’ needs by providing information designed to help them stay connected, protected, and make informed decisions.


CHALLENGE

The Whitepages’ marketing team set a goal to increase conversion rate and boost memberships for their monthly plan by improving the structure of the pricing page and make it easier for customers to compare the different plans.

TEST IDEA

The layout of the price subscription page was changed so that all three plans were more prominently displayed next to each other in the form of expanded vertical menus to clearly showcase what’s included in each plan. 

Dynamic toggles were also placed at the top so users could compare monthly and annual pricing plans while the bottom of the page featured a larger payment tab under the plans instead of next to them.

RESULTS

With the new layout, the team was able to present a simpler and easier navigation for Whitepages customers to seamlessly compare different plans with just the right amount of information they need to make a decision.

As a result, after one week, the team saw a 23% increase in conversion rate and a 31% increase in monthly membership plans.

TAKEAWAYS

Feature experimentation has given the Whitepages team the ability to quickly make adjustments while running a test, target a specific audience, and turn on or off a test or device type. This has given the marketing team greater flexibility and autonomy without relying on engineering sources which resulted in faster workflows.

The test involved more complex and dynamic elements (such as the inclusion of the contact’s record of the current plan to which the user is subscribed). This required each of these elements to interact with the entire IT system, which was only possible through server-side testing. The team plans to continue using server-side experimentation to test pricing pages to drive more conversions for the plan upgrades for current members and new users.

Spreedly Boosts Lead Generation with AB Tasty

+34% Contact Form Submissions

Spreedly is a B2B payment orchestration platform that supports clients transacting through multiple payment services.

 


 

CHALLENGE

After Spreedly engaged AB Tasty as its experimentation platform of choice, we partnered with CXperts to fully onboard Spreedly in an effort to not only begin initial tests but also to build and support a mature experimentation program to scale as they grow.

 

TEST IDEA

CXperts and Spreedly decided to first test the homepage, hypothesizing that site visitors may not know about Spreedly’s trial. Additionally, improving the CTA could boost engagement and conversions. The teams developed two variations to test: one offering a “trial” and the other offering a “free trial.”

 

RESULTS

With this test, Spreedly realized a 34% increase in contact form submissions – their main goal – with 90% statistical significance. Although clicks to the CTA didn’t increase, it was clear that exposure to “trial” messaging had a positive impact.

AB Tasty has been critical in helping us make strategic, data-driven decisions that drive more conversions of our web traffic to leads for our sales team.

– Mike Taberksi , Senior Customer Insights Analyst

 

TAKEAWAYS

Over the course of the onboarding, CXperts was able to use AB Tasty to improve other key engagement metrics for Spreedly, such as pages visited, scroll depth, time on site, and revisit rate, all suggesting an increase in potential long-tail conversions. Additionally, the Spreedly team now has a roadmap of tests and the expertise they need to continue growing the program.

AB Tasty Enables MoneySmart to Innovate at the Pace of Their Ideas

+12% CTA clicks

+40% Use of filters

MoneySmart Group is South East Asia’s leading personal finance portal, helping consumers compare loans, insurance, and credit cards. From everyday decisions like choosing the best credit card to big decisions like buying a home, MoneySmart shows their customers what’s out there, recommends what’s best for them and helps with the application process. 

AB Tasty accelerates experimentation

Today, MoneySmart’s product team can get an experiment up and running – and see results – in under 24 hours. Someone has an idea to test a form length, button color or banner? No sweat! But it wasn’t always like this, as Vincent Paca, Engineering Manager at MoneySmart, explains:

“Before AB Tasty, we were running our own, experimental platform. A lot of the developers’ time was spent creating and coding in different variations of tests. What this meant was that you could spend a sprint just to launch a very simple test. It was a very costly endeavor.” 

Sanjiv Shah, Product Manager at MoneySmart, elaborates: “It took a long time to set up a test, it was very manual and painful. While we wanted to experiment with speed, it just took such a long time.”  

This sluggish process is less than ideal.  

First, testing inertia can mean missed opportunities to convert traffic to leads, or leads into customers. This can eat away at a business’s bottom line.  Perhaps more crucially however, it can also entail falling behind competitors who are more rapidly refining the experience on their websites. Consumers increasingly expect financial sector brands to offer digital experiences that are as smooth and delightful as those of e-commerce or social media sites. If MoneySmart wanted to keep up, it was time to make a change.

That change came in the form of AB Tasty.

No such thing as a losing test

“What AB Tasty gave us was a tool that let us easily make changes to our website, deploy these changes and get the results out of the door within a day,” explains Vincent. “The QA function is fantastic,” adds Sanjiv. “You can actually see what a test will really look like for your customers by doing a test in production on just your computer’s IP address.” The best part? No flickering effect and virtually no change to the load speed time.

AB Tasty’s arrival was a watershed moment for the product and tech teams at MoneySmart.

Gone was the manual, tedious process of aligning devops and data teams to regulate traffic flows and build dashboards from scratch. Gone, too, was the stress of not knowing if a new idea would be a hit or a flop. “With AB Tasty, even if a test idea doesn’t ‘win’, we still save a lot on production cost and avoid frustration from developers, product managers and designers,” concludes Efrim Bartosik, Head of Product Design. 

Teams come together around experimentation

One of the most appreciated aspects of AB Tasty, according to Bui Hanh, Product Manager at MoneySmart, is the perfect balance between features for technical and non-technical profiles. Not only is MoneySmart’s product team champing at the bit to run a multitude of tests, but so are the commercial, marketing and content teams. Through a testing tool that’s accessible to everyone, a true culture of experimentation is starting to take root, aligning departments around common goals and igniting growth.

A perfect example is the test shown below. Design, product and developer teams worked together to test a new layout for the ‘apply for a personal loan’ feature. The goal was to increase clicks to the ‘Apply Now’ CTA, and the new version did just that. CTR increased by nearly 12%, as did the use of the filters function (by 40%).

Version A of MoneySmart experiment MoneySmart experiment Version B

Takeaway

When barriers to experimentation – whether they be in terms of time, money or company culture – are removed, growth flourishes. Aligning teams around creativity and agility is a key ingredient to increasing both business outcomes as well as customer satisfaction. AB Tasty is the perfect partner to help product and marketing teams achieve both.

ŠKODA Jump-Starts Test-Drive Bookings with Countdown Banner

2x Number of booked test-drives

8 Day campaign

One of the gems of the Czech industry, ŠKODA has evolved into a modern, respected car manufacturer present in more than 100 markets worldwide. Known today for their unique and reliable designs, the ŠKODA brand started out over a hundred years ago crafting bicycles, followed by motorcycles and, ultimately, cars.

Challenge

In the automotive industry, booking a test-drive is a crucial step in the purchase funnel. Marketers spend considerable time, resources and budget converting website traffic into test-drive appointments; naturally, people who are willing to leave their personal information to physically try out a vehicle are exhibiting high buyer intent.

On a more pragmatic level, retailers also prefer potential customers to book ahead of time, instead of stopping by on the fly, so they can better manage their schedules. All around, increasing the number of online test-drive bookings generates hot leads and better pipeline visibility.

In addition to this ever-present goal, the digital marketing team at ŠKODA’s French branch had a particular challenge to address. They wanted to capitalize on a rare, time-limited promotional offer – a zero-interest loan program – to jump-start their online test-drive bookings. They just weren’t sure of the best website optimization tactic to employ.

Urgency Principle and Engagement Idea

They brought the opportunity to the attention of AB Tasty and Rosapark, their digital marketing agency. “We talked through a few options for how to make the most of this valuable offer,” explained Laura Rérolle, Partnership Success Manager at AB Tasty. “We decided on a simple countdown banner that would show how much time was left before the zero-interest loan option ended. The idea was to give the offer the air of an event, to make it prominent on the homepage and other key areas of the site. This would attract attention and draw interested viewers down the purchase funnel. Since this type of engagement technique is not frequently used in this industry, we wanted to try it out in this limited scope to test the idea.”

The team at ŠKODA then worked with Rosapark on the creative design and deployment aspects. They ran the campaign using AB Tasty for mobile and desktop viewers for the full duration of the offer (eight days), on their homepage and the product pages (those that detailed the cars for sale).

The countdown clock banner included two calls-to-action: one to ‘learn more’ about the offer, (which redirected to an explanatory landing page), and the other, ‘book a test-drive,’ to a booking page.

Results

There was no doubt about it – the countdown banner clearly drew positive attention, encouraging online visitors to book the coveted test-drives. “We ran this campaign with AB Tasty as part of a big media blast around this offer. We were thrilled to see that, the week of the campaign, we more than doubled the number of booked test-drives compared to the previous week. In fact, a full 13% of that week’s leads came directly from this countdown clock. This is a significant uplift in qualified leads, at very little extra effort or resources. We’re very happy with these results,” explained Sebastien Toussaint, Customer Experience & Data Performance Manager at ŠKODA, France.

“The countdown banner was very effective during this key offer. While taking care not to overuse this engagement tactic, ŠKODA could certainly employ it again during their open house events two or three times per year,” elaborated Laura.

Takeaway Tip

Engagement techniques like countdown banners, when used judiciously, can effectively nudge website visitors into converting.
