New Outlook? Am I the only one p*ssed off by Microsoft's attempt to dump a new version of "Outlook" upon? I mean, how can they expect me to be happy if they take away a fully functional version of Outlook, replace it with some skeleton program which includes advertisements? Are they going to do this with all their applications, word, excell, powerpoint, and then force you to pay extra for more functions which you currently have. I guess this is some kind of a crime even in capitalism. Changing your service conditions unilaterally in a monopolistic market.

Which version performed better top or bottom?  And why? Learning from your user behavior is vital. It might be the most important thing you can do for your business. Top was before Bottom was after Analyzing my user's behavior using Microsoft Clarity (free tool) ... I could see that a lot of users did not realize they could right click the bento cards to edit the text, content, etc.  The TOP image was the lower converting version.  I know I probably threw you off with the colors.  But move past the colors. Users were just not seeing the alert box to the right. Correction, not all users, at least 60% of traffic did not pay attention to the small bottom right alert box.  So I moved the "heads up! you can right click..." text front and center.  This gave me the opportunity to put a, non-intrusive, "vote for me" option and Launch day coupon code in the message. btw I am live on PH.  Use code YUMMY for the next day to get 50% off Lifetime access
