In this experiment only the button label changed. The control had a more immediate (next step-oriented) button label of "Upload Your Photos Now". The variation tried a more benefit-oriented button of "Order Now" (hinting at paying and obtaining the product).

Leak #19 from Airbnb.com   |   Aug 13, 2019 Product

Airbnb A/B Tested These 3 Button Labels And They All Failed

A - Jul 22, 2019
D - Jul 22, 2019 REJECTED

Button label tests are easy to setup, including this one that Airbnb ran on their property listing pages. In total we detected that they a/b tested 3 variations against the original control. One month later, all treatment variations were rejected suggesting that the "Reserve" button defended its superior performance. View Leak

+0.5 Evidence

For each pattern, we measure three key data points derived from related tests:

REPEATABILITY - this is a measure of how often a given pattern has generated a positive or negative effect. The higher this number, the more likely the pattern will continue to repeat.

SHALLOW MEDIAN - this is a median effect measured with low intent actions such as initiating the first step of a lengthier process

DEEP MEDIAN - this is derived from the highest intent metrics that we have for a given test such as fully completed signups or sales.
