A/B testing plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance of your Shopify store pricing pages. This strategy not only helps you understand customer behavior but also enables you to tailor your offers for maximum conversion. By testing various pricing models, you can identify which ones resonate most with your audience and refine your pricing strategy accordingly.

For Shopify store owners, optimizing pricing through A/B testing can significantly increase conversion rates. By experimenting with different price points, payment plans, and promotional offers, you’ll gain valuable insights to adjust your approach based on real customer data. This methodology reduces guesswork and ensures that your decisions are based on measurable outcomes, rather than industry assumptions.

If you want to dive deeper into conversion optimization and get expert support, consider Shopify CRO audit services to help identify which pricing strategies could work best for your store.

How to Conduct A/B Testing on Pricing Pages

Running a successful A/B test requires a structured approach. Follow these steps to ensure effective results:

1. Set Clear Goals and Hypotheses

Before starting your A/B test, determine what you want to achieve. For example, are you aiming to increase your conversion rates, or perhaps boost average order value? Setting measurable goals helps you assess the test's success.

For more tips on formulating hypotheses, check out our guide on creating hypotheses for A/B testing, which can help you frame your testing process effectively.

2. Choose Variables to A/B-Test

To get clear results, focus on testing one variable at a time. Popular variables include:

Price Points: Test different prices to see which attracts more conversions.

Discounts and Promotions: Experiment with percentage-off deals or "buy one, get one free" offers.

Payment Plans: Offer monthly payments versus one-time payments.

Layout and Design: Test how design changes, like font or placement, impact conversion rates.

3. Create Variations

Design different versions of your pricing page, isolating the change you want to test. This helps pinpoint the exact factors influencing customer behavior. For example, if you test price points, make sure other elements of the page remain unchanged.

For advanced Shopify development services to customize your pricing page for A/B testing, you can consult with a Shopify expert to implement tailored changes that maximize test efficiency.

4. Implement the A/B-Test

Shopify store owners can use various apps like Optimizely or VWO to conduct A/B tests without requiring extensive technical knowledge. These tools allow easy integration with Shopify, making it simpler to manage your tests.

5. Run the A/B-Test

Let your test run for a sufficient period to gather reliable data. The length of your test depends on your traffic, but ideally, it should run for several weeks to ensure a large enough sample size for accurate results.

6. Analyze the Results

Once the test concludes, evaluate key metrics like conversion rates, average order value, and revenue to identify which variation performed better. Make data-driven decisions based on these insights.

7. Iterate and Optimize

A/B testing is not a one-time activity. Keep refining your pricing strategies based on test results, iterating to achieve better outcomes. Continually optimizing your Shopify store will help maintain long-term success.

Best Practices for A/B Testing Pricing in Shopify

To ensure the effectiveness of your tests, follow these best practices:

Use Shopify’s Built-In Tools: Leverage apps like Optimizely, VWO, and Ptengine for efficient testing and analysis.

Test High-Impact Elements First: Focus on pricing structures, CTAs, and promotional offers that directly influence customer behavior.

Isolate Variables: Keep tests simple and ensure only one variable changes at a time to avoid confusing results.

Ensure Statistical Significance: Gather enough data to draw reliable conclusions by running tests with a large enough sample size.

Monitor Results and Iterate: Track key metrics like bounce rates and cart abandonment rates for deeper insights.

Languages Shape Worlds — And the People in Them

“Language is a road map of a culture.” – Rita Mae Brown

When creating fictional worlds, don’t stop at borders—let language do the heavy lifting. Dialects, vocabulary, accents, and even how characters switch between tongues can reveal class, power, intimacy, and conflict.

Here’s how to use language as a storytelling tool:

1. Create Language Layers: Dialect ≠ Language

Different regions or social classes in your world should speak differently, even if it’s the same “official” language.

Example:

In your fantasy kingdom:

Nobles say: “I shall accompany you to the citadel.”

Soldiers say: “I’ll head with you to the keep.”

Farmers say: “Reckon I’ll come with, if yer goin’ to the tower.”

Same meaning, entirely different texture. Ask:

• Who has access to formal education?

• Who clings to older versions of the language?

• Who uses borrowed words from other cultures?

2. Portray Multilingual Conversations Without Confusing the Reader

You don’t need to write entire dialogue in your constructed language. Instead:

Option A: Tag and Translate

“Aqele asaar,” she whispered. Peace upon your house.

This works well when you want to signal cultural depth without overwhelming the reader. Use sparingly for ritual phrases, swears, or proverbs.

Option B: Inferred Meaning via Context

He said something in Old Avelan—sharp and soft like a blade drawn from silk. Whatever it meant, it made her flinch.

The vibe matters more than the word-for-word meaning. Use body language, tone, and character reactions to fill in the blanks.

Option C: In-World Translation

Let the characters do the work:

“He just called me a—what, a cabbage?”

“Not quite. ‘Rot-bellied cabbage-eater.’ It’s an insult where he’s from.”

This adds humor, personality, and builds cultural tension or camaraderie.

3. Think About Code-Switching

When do your characters switch languages? It can signal:

Power: A queen who speaks the enemy’s tongue in negotiations to unsettle them.

Intimacy: Two lovers whispering in their mother tongue.

Alienation: A scholar stuck using broken trade-speech with villagers.

Defiance: A rebel refusing to speak the colonizer’s language.

Let language switching mean something.

4. Explore Attitudes Toward Language

What do people in your world believe about languages?

Is one language considered sacred?

Is another viewed as “dirty,” “low,” or “dangerous”?

Are certain dialects banned?

Is writing restricted to elites?

Is there an ancient, dead language used only in prophecy or magic?

Example:

In your desert empire, magic spells are written in a language only the dead can pronounce. Living mages simulate it with song, but it’s imperfect—hence, unstable magic.

Bonus Exercise: The Babel Scene

Write a scene where two characters must communicate without a shared language. Let them gesture, draw, struggle, misunderstand, and slowly begin to trust. You’ll find tension, comedy, and emotional payoff.

Language is never neutral. It’s memory, identity, and control. Use it like a sword—or a love letter.

🚨New AU alert! 🚨

Yea that’s right! I’ve finally started putting down on paper my ideas for an AU I’ve had in my head for awhile now.

Introducing the Rainbow Babysitter AU. A FNAF slice of life AU in which a moody teen, desperate for money and an excuse to be out of the house, reluctantly takes the job of babysitting an unruly, unhinged four year old child, despite not having any experience with kids (nor being a huge fan of them)

Aka, the Doublestar Duo Babysitter AU that no one asked for, but was definitely needed.

[subsequentibis]

i've had this thing for a little while where i'm like. fuck! a lot of the artists i look up to have really thin, precise lineart. i need to start using thinner lines so i can get the accuracy and detail and realistic, correct anatomy, and it makes you have to get better at colors because the color has to carry the piece more when the lines give them more space between, and it's made me a lot more critical with my work because i instinctively go for big thick linework, and my usual strokes look sloppy and disconnected when i use thin lines.

and then i realized it was also making me miserable and not want to work on anything, which was really getting in the way of doing art in the first place. so i cranked that brush size back up and it just feels good and easy and flowing again, and like. yknow. there's working towards improvement and then there's stalling yourself out because you're too focused on arbitrary measures. i think i'm gonna be happy with my thick lines for a bit.

Silvyr Art Dump - Extended lore for them and their Domain below the cut.

Diplomat of Volica and Advisor to the Usurper King, Silvyr is a former captain who aided the current King in dethroning the previous royals and banishing the corrupt council/nobles. They were the strategeist behind the coup.

With the previous council gone, and subsequent shortage of expertise, they duel wield roles to keep the Domain running. Sharp in mind and calculative by nature, they leave nothing to chance.

Volica is currently experiencing a food shortage due to over harvesting of nearby reefs by the former nobles & council, who were exporting all their food for profit. They are thus pursuing trade negotions to secure more food.

The Domain itself is located on a cliff that borders the ocean. With a dormant underwater volcano somewhat nearby to mine from, their Domain is rich in minerals and metallic ores commonly used in the production of weapons/accessories.

Volcano ---> Volica (Domain name is derived from the nearby Volcano, their most valuable resource, and the reason for the Domain's existence, as it was founded by a small group of zoran miners! Mining is the largest profession in the Domain, and is integral to their livelihood. They love that fckin volcano so much.)

History:

The former Lead Captain and strategist of Volica's royal zoran knights and warrior faction. On the battlefield they were a force to be reckoned with, fighting exclusively with ice magic.

With fighting occupations being the least favored in the Domain in terms of enrollment, and the Domain itself in a difficult location to guard (cliff face), Silvyr made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure they could protect their home from land based monster attacks (see Silvyr's Chosen Giant - Lifespan sacrifice).

This resulted in them feeling especially slighted when the zora of Volica began to suffer beneath the corrupt royals/nobles. Nyvor's sentence, Thresh's departure (both of whom were close friends), and the lack of improvement after the corrupt noble was slain (who was initially thought to be the source of the problem), brewed such contempt within Silvyr's heart they began planning the coup.

Ice Magic (Origins):

Silvyr descends from a long line of prideful water magic users. Yet unlike their predecessors, Silvyr struggled during their youth with their abilities. Ever flowing, always changing, the flexibility of understanding required to control water was something Silvyr lacked. This came as a devastating blow to their family.

Yet determined to succeed, they endlessly practiced, pushing themselves to their utmost limits. In an attempt to make the water more structured, they began to fix it in place, unknowingly all the way down to the molecular level, until suddenly, it turned to ice. Thus unlocking ice magic.

Silvyr's Ice magic abilities are dampened when in water, which is why they feel better in underwater environments!

Volica & The Termania Giants:

Many in Volica worship the Giants of Termania. Though Termania is located in a parallel world (per Majora's Mask lore), it is said you can contact the giants during sleep, when the veils between realms are the thinnest. If you sacrifice something of yourself, the giant may grant you amplified abilities. The origins of who brought the legend of the giants to Volica, and the zora who established first contact, is unknown.

Silvyr's Chosen Giant:

Silvyr is favored by the Goron Giant. To protect their Domain, they self sacrificed 100 years of their lifespan to the Giant in exchange for an insane magic amplification.

Side Effects:

Excessive use of powerful ice magic may result in adverse side effects, contact your healer if you experience any of the following: Migraines, muscle aches, lowered body temperature, inability to regulate said body temperature, low sanity episodes, lock jaw, fin cracks, excessive consumption of spicy foods, dizziness, shortened life span, chills-

Nowadays, due to the above side effects, Silvyr only uses ice magic during times of need or for petty retributions (such as freezing the feet of someone that pissed them off to the ground, worth the subsequent headache).

Hand Symbols:

Started using hand symbols during their youth while wielding ice cause they thought it looked cool. Now it genuinely helps them concentrate and they're super embarrassed about it.

Voted Best Cuddler in Volica:

Due to their lowered body temperature Silvyr feels perpetually cold when on land, and (to a lesser degree) in water. As a result they can ALWAYS be found cuddling other zora(s) for warmth while sleeping. Everyone in the Domain loves it, no complaints.

When around strangers, Silvyr will initiate contact with a gentle touch to the arm, silently requesting the others companionship. If accepted, that zora WILL be cuddled till morning.

Additional Facts:

-Overheated zoras fresh from the volcanic mines often seek Silvyr out for a hug cause they feel so cold to the touch. Results in a dog pile (fish pile?) sometimes.

-LOVES spicy food. Will straight up eat a bag of RAW ghost peppers and be completely unbothered.

-Commonly seen wearing a fur lined cloak for warmth when on land.

-Doesn't overly emote unless exasperated, stressed, or during low sanity episodes. Zoras in Volica have an ongoing scoreboard of who has gotten Silvyr to smile the most. Thresh is currently leading (and is very smug about it).

Ang ganda yung art mo GGHHHOORLLLL!

I was looking at the line work you do and was wondering: do you ink it physically and then scan it, or is it fully digital? It's really good and gives a solid grit to it and adds texture to your works. How do you do that?

shdhfh maraming salamatttt 💞💕

99% of what I post here is all digital because I don’t really have access to a scanner very often! my inking style looks the way it does because I draw traditionally in my sketchbooks a LOT and the way I ink digitally is Exactly The Same as I do traditionally (which is why you see a lot of double lines in my inking, stray lines, or scribbling when I fill in solid blacks without the fill tool, I also always turn off any stabilization features a brush might have bc I don’t like the way it feels) and I often go looking for brushes that are gritty or crunchy so that it looks similar to the pens I use on paper!

You can see a bunch of the stray lines and general scribbling I did here, which is exactly what my irl sketchbooks look like, and the circled brushes (I edited these after I downloaded them all to have 0 stabilization) are the ones I used for it!

Haven't done any running for more than a week due to the hot weather. Even at 8pm it's still "feels like 34ºC". But club started up again this week and hopefully it doesn't rain on Thursday so I can finally take Topaz back to agility.

Power of Repetition in Public Speaking

After watching "Oscar-winning actor & writer Tom Hanks gives the Oxford Union an acting lesson" on YouTube I felt inspired to write this blog. The link below if interested.

Public speaking is an art that transcends mere words; it involves a deep understanding of human psychology, effective communication techniques, and the strategic use of rhetorical devices. Among these, repetition stands out as a powerful tool that can elevate a speech from ordinary to extraordinary. In this blog, we delve into the Repetition class in speaking, exploring how this technique can captivate audiences, enhance message retention, and leave a lasting impact.

The Basics of Repetition:

Repetition involves the intentional reuse of words, phrases, or ideas within a speech. When employed thoughtfully, it can create emphasis, reinforce key points, and establish a rhythm that resonates with the audience. There are various forms of repetition, each serving a unique purpose:

Anaphora: This involves repeating the same word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences. For example, Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech masterfully uses anaphora with the repetition of "I have a dream."

Epistrophe: In contrast to anaphora, epistrophe repeats a word or phrase at the end of successive clauses or sentences. Winston Churchill's famous "We shall fight on the beaches" speech is a classic example of epistrophe in action.

Anadiplosis: This technique involves repeating the last word of one clause or sentence at the beginning of the next. This creates a seamless connection between ideas and builds momentum. Yoda's sage advice, "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering," is an example of anadiplosis.

The Impact of Repetition:

Emphasis: Repetition serves as a spotlight, directing the audience's attention to specific words or ideas. By repeating a key point, a speaker can emphasize its importance, making it more likely to be remembered.

Rhythm and Flow: A well-crafted repetition adds a musical quality to a speech, creating a rhythmic flow that engages the audience. This cadence can make the message more memorable and enjoyable.

Connection: Repetition helps to establish connections between different parts of a speech. It ties ideas together, creating a cohesive narrative that is easier for the audience to follow.

Persuasion: Through repetition, a speaker can subtly persuade the audience to adopt a particular viewpoint or take action. The consistent reinforcement of a message can influence attitudes and beliefs.

Practical Tips for Using Repetition Effectively:

Choose Key Points: Identify the core messages you want to convey, and strategically repeat key words or phrases associated with these points.

Consider Your Audience: Tailor your repetition to resonate with your audience. Understanding their preferences, values, and expectations will help you use repetition more effectively.

Vary Your Approach: While repetition is a powerful tool, overusing it can diminish its impact. Vary your repetition techniques to keep the audience engaged and interested.

Practice Pacing: The timing and pacing of repetition are crucial. Practice delivering your speech with the right rhythm to maximize its impact.

In the world of public speaking, the Repetition class is a formidable ally. When wielded with skill and precision, repetition can transform a speech into a compelling, memorable experience for both the speaker and the audience. By understanding the various forms of repetition and practising its implementation, speakers can elevate their communication skills and leave a lasting impression on those who listen.

can i get your thoughts on hana kurusu

Not daily/

Short answer? Abnormal

Long answer? We're making this a long post because I have a thought or 50 on Hana actually! Peep my fucking tags too I always say shit there.

I wouldn't have this many if she was just a whole side character but gege made her to not be a side character and was made to be clearly important which is why I'm always pissed about her.

She has an interesting concept that was executed by a MOTHERFUCKER who could could give less of a fuck about developing a woman if it dosent involve gege sucking the dick of some male character randomly. She was so interesting to me especially with her backfire only to be given "oh she dosent care about herself bc she's in love with an emotionally constipated dumbass that she met once and he could give less of a fuck about her." The only reason he cares somewhat is because of some half assed guilt that gege wrote in there because he already wasn't beating the "idk women" allegations.

She has such an interesting vibe about her of being a vessel that has control still other than Yuji but that's because he was born for that shit who gaf. Hana was not. How did she live? How did she get to that point.

I honestly think she would've been better off without having any relations with Megumi but most think so. I want to know more about her but I don't trust gege. I honestly think she should've been a blacksmith or something but idk. She's interesting it's just she has the misfortune of being written by Gege as a plot device and stepping stone for a character that barely even changed. Even Higaruma has more and Kusakabe and THAT COUPON BITCH HAS MORE THAN HER BUT THAT GOES FOR MOST IF NOT ALL THE WOMEN IN JJK EXCEPT MAKI FUCKKKK.

Hana doodle. She's neat.
