How DailySale Scaled CRO with AI
A powerful CRO program can be the difference between a thriving eCommerce store and one that leaks revenue. But without a team of analysts and developers to launch five smart A/B tests per week, most brands rely on best practices and gut instinct.
That approach doesn’t scale—especially when you're pouring budget into paid traffic that doesn't convert.
To break that cycle, DailySale partnered with Variant to deploy an AI-powered CRO engine capable of finding friction points, designing solutions, and shipping experiments at scale.

Customers Were Getting Lost
Despite strong traffic and competitive prices, DailySale was facing a major friction point: a surprisingly low Add-to-Cart rate.

Variant’s AI agents
dug deeper—and found a key behavioral insight:
DailySale’s highest-converting users were browsing significantly fewer product pages before purchasing. In other words, top performers found what they wanted fast. The rest? They dropped off—overwhelmed by the catalog, unclear navigation, and lack of orientation.
