I think our/my approach to conversion optimization is all wrong. A chef will tweak a recipe a 100 times to discover the perfect balance. We/I will try an idea five times and give it a final verdict.

Camel cigarettes once ran a contest offering $50,000 to the customer who could identify what changes they had made to their packaging. Can you imagine how much brand recall is created when millions of customers spend dozens of minutes closely inspecting your product packaging?
