Case study ยท Tiendanube admin

More responses, less friction

How a microcopy and behavior iteration on an in-app banner increased participation in the annual survey for the NubeCommerce report.

+60%

increase in CTR on the CTA to complete the survey.

+3,770

total consolidated responses in the report survey.

15 days

critical window before the survey closed.

The report needed more high-quality responses

Every year, Tiendanube publishes NubeCommerce, its annual ecommerce report. To build the 2025 edition, we combined:

  • anonymized internal data from more than 65,000 stores in Argentina,
  • the annual merchant survey, and
  • global and regional market sources.

With 15 days left before the deadline, the survey already had a usable base, but the team wanted to expand the sample to strengthen the reading of trends and improve the report's representativeness, both for small businesses and larger mid-market brands.

Detect friction without adding interruption

The invitation to respond was being sent by email and through a banner in the store admin panel. The problem was that if someone closed the banner because the moment was inconvenient, they would not see it again.

The hypothesis was that many people might be willing to respond, just not at the exact moment the communication appeared. The task was to reframe the touchpoint so the invitation stayed available without becoming invasive.

Iterate the banner behavior and copy

Instead of relying on a dismissible appearance, I proposed leaving the invitation fixed as a header inside the admin during the final survey window. The content needed to be clear, direct, and contextual enough to explain why it was worth participating.

Recreated in-app banner in the Tiendanube admin with a CTA to answer the NubeCommerce survey
Illustrative image recreated from the original banner. Some sensitive data was hidden.
  • I reviewed the moment in the flow when the invitation appeared.
  • I refined the microcopy to guide the action without overexplaining.
  • We prioritized a persistent, visible, and less disruptive presence.
  • We connected the content decision with real admin usage behavior.

Before

The banner disappeared permanently, even if the person was interested but needed to postpone their response.

After

The invitation remained available during the critical period, with a visible CTA and a hierarchy designed to support day-to-day work.

More participation from a focused improvement

The iteration achieved a +60% increase in CTA CTR to complete the survey. After three weeks with around 1,900 responses, we reached 3,773 total consolidated responses in the report within 15 days.

This case shows a small decision with real impact: it wasn't just about changing words or sending more emails, but about adjusting content, timing, and interface behavior to match users' real availability.
