What 400 Screenshot A/B Tests Say About Earnings-Season Creative
Not financial advice. Verify claims independently.
Aggregating our A/B data across finance-app screenshot tests:
- Frame 1 with a callout beats a bare screenshot by 34% on install conversion — "Earnings-week ready" text > hero art during event weeks
- Dark device bezels outperform light in the finance category specifically (TradingView dark-mode context carries over)
- "Social proof sandwich" — rating/review callouts on frame 2, feature proof on frames 3–4 — beats feature-first ordering by 22%
- Ticker-specific keywords in screenshot text ("Track MU earnings") lifted conversion 18% during the print week
The meta-lesson: screenshot creative isn't static — it's event-driven. Update it for earnings season like you update keywords.
