Customer Experience Labs was a pleasure to work with on a major research project. They provided great actionable insights that were able to improve our business. Additionally, the presentation of findings was excellent and gave everyone from executives to designers a better understanding of how our users interacted with our website.

Customer Experience Labs has many years of experience conducting and interpreting eye tracking studies. These skills have helped hotels.com improve overall site usability by detailing trouble spots and suggesting improvements based on their experience and usability standards. I will continue to use their services and would recommend them to anyone needing basic usability testing to in depth analysis with eye tracking and usability combined.
— Scott Klein, Former UX Research Manager at Hotels.com
By leveraging Customer Experience Lab’s unique skills I am able to optimize products by using eye tracking to gather insight, prior to the conceptual phase. This is critical. The best way to validate an opinion is to put it in front of an audience and monitor their experience. Time and again, working with them I was able to validate my customer offer prior to launch, and maximize sales. A 15-20% lift in campaign performance is common in concert with a strong A/B testing methodology. In my opinion, there is simply no better way to validate the likely impact of a visual message, than through eye tracking.

Jay has a creative, almost real time approach to research. He leads his team to always be thinking about ways to outperform the competition, all with the rationale of solid, independent research behind them. I have never worked with someone who was more in tune with the market and its possible opportunities. Jay is a very tough negotiator, always pressing vendors for more performance as well.
— George Webb, Former regional sales manager at Keynote Systems
Jay advanced the level of usability research at Expedia. He ran for the first time in Expedia’s history, ethnographic studies to enhance the Cruise Team’s understanding of the target ‘cruiser’. He led a cross-disciplinary effort to develop personas that identified the customer groups, which helped the cruise team better understand the major customer segments they were designing the product for.
— Honor Gunday, Program Manager, Expedia.com
Jay has helped Expedia develop a disciplined focus on the customer experience. If a feature is intuitive and useful on Expedia, it’s probably due to the good work of Jay and his team.

In May of 2011, as part of our ongoing efforts to make OneCall.com a site buyers love to shop, we engaged Customer Experience Labs to conduct a two day usability study. We found that Customer Experience Labs conducts usability testing in a professional manner and its management group to be reliable and engaged. More importantly, the post study recommendations and consulting led to changes on OneCall.com that increased conversion and average order size. We recommend Jay Eskenazi and Customer Experience Labs and plan to engage their services in the future.
–Dave Weisman, VP Sales & Marketing, OneCall.com
Customer Experience Labs mobile usability testing allowed us to quickly gain a great deal of insight into how our customers were using our early stage mobile product. Their research uncovered many barriers that we initially did not see on our own. As a result of their research and recommendations we made immediate changes which made our customers happier and our app easier to use.
