Industry Consumer
Psychology Reports
What actually drives conversion in your industry — based on data from 4,000+ controlled A/B experiments, not opinions.
These reports are built on DRIP’s proprietary experiment database — over 4,000 documented A/B tests across 250+ e-commerce brands spanning every major vertical. Each insight is derived from controlled experiments with statistical rigor. No surveys. No “best practices” lists. No competitor copying.
We use Quantum, our internal consumer research intelligence platform, to analyze experiment outcomes across industries and surface the psychological drivers, tactics, and page elements that actually predict whether a test wins or loses.
Who These Reports Are For
If you’re making optimization decisions based on generic CRO advice, competitor copying, or gut instinct — these reports will change how you think about testing.
Each report answers the question: what psychologically drives YOUR specific customers to convert? Not customers in general. Not “e-commerce shoppers.” The customers in your vertical, analyzed through real experiment data.
Whether you work with us or not, this research will make your testing program smarter.
Every Vertical Has a Different Psychological Fingerprint
Every e-commerce vertical has a different psychological fingerprint. What drives a Health & Wellness customer to buy is fundamentally different from what drives a Fashion customer or a Food & Beverage customer.
Most CRO programs ignore this. They apply the same playbook everywhere — “add urgency,” “simplify the page,” “show social proof” — without understanding which levers actually matter for their specific audience.
These reports break that pattern. Each one analyzes hundreds of experiments to reveal the dominant psychological drivers, the highest-performing tactics, the most common mistakes, and the specific recommendations that will have the highest impact for brands in that vertical.
