How I've smoke tested and analysed business potential of insurance service for Docplanner.
A deep dive into European trends revealed a growing shift toward self-managed, subscription-based insurance—a sharp contrast to outdated offerings in Poland. We saw an opportunity to explore this space.
Instead of investing in full development, I led a smoke test experiment to validate demand with speed and minimal cost. Here's what I did:
One of more interesting experiments I ran was a simple—but powerful—hero image A/B test.
Goal: Reflect the brand’s values of modernity, inclusivity, and approachability, while optimizing for conversion.
📊 Result:
Version B delivered 4× higher conversion than Version A.
This result raised an important strategic question for the business:
➡ Should we optimize visuals for local resonance, or hold ground on brand values like inclusivity and representation?
It’s a valuable tension for any modern brand—and one that deserves continued testing and reflection.
The test was launched strategically in Q4, when many Poles review or renew their insurance—maximizing topical interest.
Results from the best-performing variant:
Together, these metrics validated the business potential and made a strong case for deeper investment in the insurance space.
