Buildium is a software company creating property management software for property managers. Buildium was founded in 2004 in Rhode Island (US). Customers had the perception that Buildium was only suitable for small (less then 50) units. They decided to test a different headline to change this.
Hypothesis
Changing the headline to emphasize that Buildium is suited for small and large property management companies, will convince more larger propery managers to signup for a free trial
The test
They tested following headlines:
| Version |
Headline |
| A |
Proof, meet pudding. We can help you too
We have over 8000 happy customers across the world.
|
| B |
Whatever your size, Buildium in the perfect fit
We have been powering small, medium and large property management companies since 2004 |
In the new version they also added the number of units under management – to further proove the point.
Results
The variation indeed had a 23% higher conversion rate in the test.

Learnings
This case shows that the basis of any test is a proper research. In this case an importaint customer objection was the perception that the software was only for small customers.
It would be interesting to further brake down the conversion into the small, medium and large segments. That could further confirm the validity of the test.
