The Next Mirror Starts on the Thank-You Page

What the data says

Buyers often frame one mirror, then come back for the next about two weeks later. Nothing after checkout asks about it.

01
Buying one first is a plan. 228 of 2,866 frame buyers ordered again, half within 12 days.
Shopify orders · 13 September to 12 November · 2,866 frame buyers, business accounts left out
02
Several mirrors is where the money is. Orders with two or more frames are 21.1% of frame orders but 37.2% of frame revenue.
Shopify orders · 13 September to 12 November · 3,116 frame orders
03
The same offer before payment cost sales. In October it lifted multi-frame orders but cut single-frame orders 21%. After payment, the first frame is already sold.

Order confirmed Framing another mirror? Same look, every bathroom. [X]% off your next frames, 30 days No need to measure today. We email it to you too. Measure my next mirror Continue shopping

The concept

Offer the next mirror right after the first is paid for. Nobody has to measure today.

  • V1: $15 off each extra frame, saved 60 days. One block under the order summary opens the builder with the saving applied. Also in the shipping email.
  • V2: a bigger saving, 30 days. MirrorMate sets the amount.
  • Not October again. That offer showed before payment. This one shows only after.
  • Built into MirrorMate’s own store app. Nothing new to install.
  • Main success measure: second frame orders per buyer, followed for 60 days.
  • Timing: starts early December, final read early March. We need a screenshot of today’s thank-you page.

Show Buyers Their Frame, Drawn to Their Own Numbers, Before They Pay

What the data says

By the last step, buyers have typed six to ten measurements. The review step shows them as a list of numbers, right when the fear is that the frame won’t fit.

The concept

Turn the numbers into a picture of their own mirror. The frame drawn to scale, gaps and clips marked.

  • V1: the drawing on the review step. Tap a side to edit it.
  • V2: V1, plus the drawing builds as they go, from width and height onward.
  • Phones: drawing above the price. Desktop: beside the summary.
  • Main success measure: orders per person reaching the review step. Also watched: edits and remakes.

Earliest startEarly January. It can go first, since it needs nothing from MirrorMate.

A Measuring Cover: Measured Wrong, We Remake It

What the data says

Buyers aren’t afraid the frame is bad. They’re afraid they measured wrong.

Measuring survey · 24 August to 12 November · 1,416 answers

Remakes already happen, out of sight. About 30 in 3,397 frame orders, about 1%. Kevin: remaking costs less than a return.
Shopify orders · 13 September to 12 November. MirrorMate team · 16 September call
03
The fit promise comes with conditions. It applies only if the guide was followed, and returns carry a restocking fee. No mirror frame seller covers the buyer’s own mistake.

The concept

  • One line by the measuring steps: “Not sure? Add the measuring cover and we’ll remake it if it’s off.” The cart confirms it.
  • V1: a paid cover, off by default. V2: one free remake on every frame.
  • Before launch: Kevin signs off the cost and price, and the refund policy is updated.
Earliest startAfter the sales, once Kevin signs off. Runs after the frame drawing.

While the Samples Travel, the Frame Saving Is Already Waiting

What the data says

One in four paid sample buyers goes on to buy a frame, most within two weeks. Their $25 frame saving only arrives later, by email.

01
About 220 paid sample orders a week. 2,010 of 5,450 orders were samples only.

Plenty of time to decide. Start my frame Continue shopping

The concept

Show the frame saving on the sample thank-you page, with an end date. The same $25 MirrorMate already emails, shown sooner.

  • V1: $25 off a frame, 30 days. One button opens the builder on the sampled frame.
  • V2: same saving, 14 days. Tests whether a closer deadline brings orders forward.
  • Phone and desktop: one block under the order summary, full-width button on phones.
  • Only after a sample is bought. It never promotes samples.
How we read itMain success measure: frame orders per sample buyer within 30 days. Read about mid February.
Before launchMirrorMate confirms the amount and whether it stacks with the welcome code.
Earliest startEarly December, alongside top pick 1. Frame and sample orders see different blocks.

When the Samples Arrive, Put Them on the Mirror

What the data says

People order samples to see the frame in their own bathroom. Nothing meets them when the box lands, the moment they decide.

01
Seeing the frame first matters most. 3,231 of 6,619 buyers say not seeing it nearly stopped them.
Post-purchase survey · January to August · 6,619 answers
02
They decide soon after it arrives. Half of converters buy within 11 days.

The concept

One email on delivery day, one page. Hold each sample to the mirror, tap the one you like, frame it.

  • The email: “Your samples are here. Try them on.” Three steps, one button.
  • The page: shows that buyer’s finishes. Tapping one opens the builder on that frame.
  • The test: half of sample buyers get the new email and page, half keep today’s. Split inside the email tool.
  • Phones: one column. Desktop: finishes side by side.

The concept

Give the second screen one job: answer what buyers ask before they start framing.

  • V1: reasons to buy, moved up. Four clear lines (custom-cut, installs in under 30 minutes, no demolition, 5-year guarantee), with the color pairing right under them.
  • V2: V1, plus the $2 sample block off. The move that won on the grid.

Find the Right Frame Price, and the Right Way to Charge Shipping

What the data says

Frame prices and the $9.99 shipping have never been tested. Buyers kept buying when given less off, a hint there is room in the price.

01
A smaller welcome discount didn’t slow orders. About $6.63 less off per order from 18 September, and frame orders held at 320 to 409 a week.
Shopify orders · 10 August to 8 November · weekly orders
02
Price is not the main worry. 115 of 944 written answers mention price. 1,403 of 6,619 buyers name measuring.
Post-purchase survey · January to August · 6,619 answers, 944 written
03
Every frame order pays $9.99 shipping, one frame or five. 3,059 of 3,116 orders. Each box costs MirrorMate about $28 and holds two frames.

The concept

Test the frame price and how shipping is charged. Only the numbers change.

  • V1: a step up in price. Same amount on every size. Shipping stays $9.99.
  • V2: V1, plus shipping built into the price. Each frame +$10, shipping free. A one-frame buyer pays the same as V1, without a fee at checkout.
  • Not July’s free shipping again. July was a discount for buying more. Here nobody pays less.
  • Everywhere at once: grid, product page, builder, cart and checkout. Samples and business accounts left out.
  • Main success measure: profit per visitor, after shipping costs.

Not Sure About the Gaps? Finish the Order, We Check Before We Cut

What the data says

People leave the builder after the tape measure, at the gap questions. What they ask for is someone to check their numbers.

01
The loss is after width and height. 13% leave at “space around”, 15% at clips.

The concept

Give unsure buyers a way through. MirrorMate checks the gaps with them before cutting.

  • V1: “Check it for me” on the two steps people leave. It skips to review, and the cart shows “Gaps: we check with you”.
  • V2: V1, plus a promise line on the width and height step.
  • After the order: the team asks for a photo per side and confirms before cutting.

Compare Frames Side by Side, Visually

What the data says

People already narrow the grid by color: 42% who saw the color blocks clicked one. Choosing between the last few frames still means opening each page.

01
The August call set the shape. The chosen frames on the same mirror photo, pairings underneath. Width is the only spec.

The concept

Tick two to four frames on the grid, see them on the same mirror at the same size, pairings underneath, and one button to order all of them as $2 samples. The pattern is the one Crutchfield uses: tick, then compare side by side. Runs after the descriptions test, which gives each frame the words the comparison needs.

Let Phone Shoppers Swipe Through Each Frame’s Photos on the Grid

What the data says

On phones, the grid is where people browse. Each card shows one close-up photo, and the room shots that sell the frame sit a tap away.

01
The grid is where phone shoppers go. 57% of pages opened after the homepage, against 12% for product pages.
Google Analytics · 30 September to 29 October · 25,797 phone page views after the homepage
02
A phone card shows one photo out of 7 to 10. Phones have no hover, so shoppers only see a corner close-up.
