Outcome
Inconclusive
Before
After
IF we simplify product descriptions by focusing on key features and benefits over specifications, THEN conversion rates will improve BECAUSE customers can quickly understand product value and make faster purchasing decisions.
Product descriptions were shortened to focus on key features and benefits rather than detailed specifications. Technical jargon was replaced with simpler, benefit-oriented language. The description format was restructured to lead with the most compelling product attributes.

Lift in conversion rate
All revenue metrics moved in a positive direction — CR +1.4%, AOV +3.4%, RPV +4.8% — but none reached the threshold for a statistically significant win. The combined RPV gain of +4.8% is encouraging, suggesting that simpler descriptions do help users convert and spend slightly more. However, with CR only at +1.4% and orders at +0.5%, the effect size is too small to declare a winner. This is a promising direction worth testing further with more pronounced copy changes or a larger sample size.
