How long should you run a trial?

Rob D · 09-25-2008, 05:20 PM

I've put trialpay up on two of my sites and added in a "GET IT FREE" message into my autoresponder. It's getting a phenomenal clickthrough rate(80%) but no-one has signed up for either product through trialpay yet.

It's not been 5 days without a sale through either the "get it free" trialpay button or my regular paydotcom button(presumably people don't want to pay if they see they can get it free). Over 100 visitors to both pages.

Time to call it quits?

My minimum test is 1000 visitors in most cases.

But of course I do not know your case.

Sometimes nothing happens for days and then you get a rush. If the test is not costing you too much let it run a bit longer
