Boosting Virgin Voyages' Mobile Bookings for Peak Wave Season
Monstarlab, supported by A/B testing specialists Chartis, conducted a comprehensive UX audit and tech assessment, pinpointing areas for improvement. We examined everything from product experience flows to analytics tools, gaining a thorough understanding of the business model and identifying ways to enhance the testing architecture for maximum impact.
The team collaborated to craft updated experience designs based on data-driven hypotheses. Over three months, our prioritization process led to the identification and execution of eight high-impact A/B tests. This resulted in six winning tests, with an average booking conversion rate increase of 3.5% for mobile users, and the top-performing test achieving a 6% increase.
In collaboration with the in-house experimentation team, Monstarlab and Chartis leveraged their expertise in mobile strategy design and data to deliver rapid results. We designed and tested variations of multiple aspects of the booking experience, analyzed the outcomes, and identified opportunities to boost conversions. To sustain success, we also developed an Experiment Playbook and test specifications ready for development, enabling Virgin Voyages' teams to conduct further effective tests.
The teams from Monstarlab, Chartis, and Virgin Voyages worked together, combining capabilities and leveraging each other's expertise. This focused approach not only delivered quick initial results but also paved the way for future innovation and improvement.
Virgin Voyages, a collaboration between Virgin Group and Bain Capital, is revolutionizing the cruise industry with its adults-only experience. Say goodbye to buffets and kids, and hello to all-inclusive “galleys.”
“We were really impressed by how the Monstarlab and Chartis team integrated so quickly with our ways of working to deliver significant value in a short amount of time. Their expertise in both mobile experience and AB testing was clearly demonstrated by the high quality output which had a clear impact on our major business KPIs. We also appreciated how their transparent working style was focused on sharing their expertise to leave us in a stronger position than before."
