Visitor Pulse informing insight and segmentation
Specsavers wanted explicit insight into why visitors weren’t booking certain appointments on site. In order to do this, they deployed 3 Visitor Pulse Lite surveys for optics and audiology customers to understand why they weren’t booking.
For optics the question was, ‘We noticed you did not book an eye test with us today, why was that?’, with 4 options a visitor could choose from.
Result
--- 12 explicit segments created
--- Insights informed board level decisions

--- 0.46% uplift in virtual try ons

Let's help you look' abandonment layer
In order to prevent visitors abandoning without having booked an appointment, Specsavers deployed a sidebar abandonment layer encouraging visitors to book an appointment, or offering a search bar to help the user look and remain on site.

Looking forward
As Specsavers continue to grow its business, the website will increasingly become a place for new and existing customers to engage with the brand. The ability to identify individuals, understand their potential needs and requirements, and personalize accordingly is key to driving loyalty.
With Qubit, Specsavers has been able to collect essential data from visitors in the booking funnel that has gone onto inform board level decisions about where iterations and improvements can be made.
Among its ambitions for the future, Specsavers is looking to reduce bounce rates, increase booked appointments via the website, and enhance the user journey based on behavioral and intent data, goals that are already beginning to be met with Qubit.
