Key learnings:

Our hypothesis was confirmed: Studio donation pages consistently outperformed standard donation forms in every comparison. Organizations experienced a notable increase in donation conversion rates when using Studio, achieving an overall statistically significant lift of 10.6% on average across the participating campaigns. Importantly, this improvement came with no noticeable impact on average donation amounts.

So what: Studio donation pages are now the default for new campaigns. We strongly recommend transitioning any ongoing or evergreen campaigns from standard forms to Studio for better results.
