2x signup rate (study)

Secret Escapes is a flash-sale luxury travel company that offers discounted deals on 4 and 5-star hotels around the world.

They decided to boost sign ups, so they A/B tested 2 variations:

1. A mandatory sign-up form (input your email to register).

2. The same form + a “SKIP” option. The idea is that people will try the service, see the value and then – signup.

Result: #1 generated 2 times more signups than #2.
