Unlike multivariate testing, split tests only compare one variable at a time. A\/B tests are indispensable for the data-driven marketer, allowing you to make decisions based on real-time user behavior.

Buyers in the digital age expect to be able to search for your company and learn all they need to know even before contacting you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-917a65cc1fd3b3ff3982ba47c301986b\">Web pages such as your homepage, checkout page, or services pages are crucial for getting the attention of website visitors and moving them forward in your sales funnel. A\/B testing helps you discover which messages and design elements resonate most with your target audience, allowing you to optimize conversion rates and keep customers engaged with your online brand. Consider A\/B testing elements like the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-81b74e758a64679a23b240e622a46dd0\">\n<li>Header<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Page length<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visual design&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navigation&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Call to action<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Testimonials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-gray-2-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-29de4a9b767aca6f98dc924ce1a73769\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Tip:<\/mark>&nbsp;<\/strong>If you\u2019re stuck figuring out which parts of your website are worth testing, use heatmap software to identify which sections get the most (or least) interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--36-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jumplink\" id=\"abPaid\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-3-paid-advertisements-nbsp\">#3: Paid Advertisements&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-92474adf8dc3517a46779a01e7bf6cd6\">Pay-per-click (PPC) ads on social media or search engines can drive up lead acquisition costs if they are not optimized to perform as efficiently as possible. Split testing helps businesses zero in on exactly the right message and ad placement to bring in qualified leads. There are a wide variety of ad elements that can be tested and refined, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-9bad86a14fce13d5c2bc2275acb7a5f2\">\n<li>Ad copy&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ad landing page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Audience segments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keyword match types (search ads)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Campaign goals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time of day&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Call to action<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jumplink\" id=\"abSocial\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-4-social-media-posts\">#4: Social Media Posts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-bd7f7449a3182772d64a162170f3d773\">If your business has a substantial social media following, it may be a smart idea to A\/B test aspects of your organic posts. Developing high-quality social media content takes significant time and effort, and you want to be sure all that hard work is giving you the best results possible. Here are some ideas for what to split test on your social media posts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-1459cdce6af9652bb29e84992ffc3eb4\">\n<li>Posting schedule&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brand tone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design elements&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Images or videos&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Content length&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preview text<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Call to action<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-46e72919c78f6ff1f9c3725ee81f88fb\">Remember \u2014 A\/B tests are not multivariate tests. Split tests are only accurate when you test one variable at a time. For example, if you\u2019re testing two images, don\u2019t change the caption, call to action, or any other element of the posts besides the images. Otherwise, you won\u2019t know which change made the difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jumplink\" id=\"abCapture\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-5-lead-capture-forms\">#5: Lead Capture Forms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-b3463aaba953324be053a70991b45095\">A lead capture form is essential for every online sales funnel. But it\u2019s not just a practical necessity for getting contact information \u2014 it\u2019s also part of your lead generation strategy. To effectively grow your email list, lead capture forms need to be persuasive, easy to use, and tailored to the right audience. Here are a few variables of lead capture forms that may benefit from A\/B tests:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-8cb059b41847e00baa713bcbc76694a6\">\n<li>Call to action&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Form design&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Placement on website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Placement on page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Form fields<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jumplink\" id=\"abPricing\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-6-pricing-display\">#6: Pricing Display<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-cebfdcd14af193113eba56f841846adf\">Pricing is an important part of brand perception. The way you present the cost of your products or services needs to be both informative and persuasive. Consider how you can use A\/B tests to improve your pricing page and more powerfully convey the value of your offering. Many elements of your pricing display could be tested, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-80ecb158e26ff0b886f22e34cce45f32\">\n<li>Page design&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Calls to action&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use of testimonials&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cost breakdown (annual vs. monthly)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discount display (percentage vs. dollar amount)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recommended plans (for tiered pricing)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jumplink\" id=\"abCheckout\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-checkout-flow\">#7: Checkout Flow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-de6ed8987206dc674782147ea27e0f8e\">The checkout process is an important touchpoint in the customer journey. If it\u2019s confusing or difficult to purchase from your brand, potential customers may move on to a competitor. And even if your checkout flow creates a great customer experience, you may not be leveraging it to your advantage. Here are some ideas for checkout improvements that can be split tested:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-cfb84b3c3a42a8ecfd19cfb8f3c99500\">\n<li>Upsell or cross-sell offers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Last-minute downsells<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discounts or giveaways&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shopping cart design&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Call to action<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jumplink\" id=\"abRun\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-how-do-you-run-an-a-b-test\">How Do You Run an A\/B Test?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-c43db5ce84f9fe4bfd8dc315ac0c159e\">A\/B tests are like scientific experiments, with data-driven results that are easily compromised by human error. These are the six guidelines we recommend to obtain usable test results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-develop-a-hypothesis\"><strong>Develop a Hypothesis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-55790d5a5317b990e601bf3900edc456\">If you don\u2019t lay the proper groundwork for your A\/B test, you might end up with two campaigns that perform differently, but you don\u2019t know what\u2019s driving the divergence or how to interpret the results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-4b5509d1578f34cbfb34a6b616f5a76b\">The only way A\/B testing works is if you start with a hypothesis \u2014 a theory that changing a particular variable (such as a CTA button) will improve a particular outcome (increased clicks). The best A\/B tests are built on researched hypotheses with clear goals that have a measurable impact on your marketing plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-button-blue-gradient-background has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-22-font-size wp-elements-44d76dcbbab79d384d22c6bdc0375d2a\" id=\"h-iterating-on-an-a-b-test-hypothesis\">Iterating on an A\/B Test Hypothesis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-c8cc3d10a032b7b266e63efb5798f729\"><strong>Here\u2019s an example<\/strong>: A business that normally sends an email promotion at 2:00 pm runs a test at 7:00 pm under the hypothesis that communicating with customers outside standard work hours will drive up engagement. The evening campaign sees high enough open rates and click-through rates to confirm the hypothesis. Next, they can try various pre-work hours or late-night hours to find when their audience is most engaged. Since this marketing team had a clear goal starting out, they know the open rate difference is not incidental, but indicative of when their audience has more free time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--36-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-select-a-measurable-goal\">Select a Measurable Goal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-48ce002fc2dfcea3a46f7ac45ad0b3e7\">The difference between a true split test and a mere comparison is having a specific, measurable goal for your test. Choosing a measurable goal requires working with an existing campaign and having access to metrics that track the results. Key performance indicators (KPIs) of an A\/B test might include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-23f584128098d41a3ca1bc543b0c4631\">\n<li>Higher conversion rates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased open rates&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click-through rate improvement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional landing page traffic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower bounce rates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-carefully-design-the-control-and-test-campaigns\">Carefully Design the Control and Test Campaigns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-ab545450ca3f49abddd6e16a5a63d896\">An A\/B test consists of a control campaign and a test campaign. The control campaign is your existing piece \u2014 it shouldn\u2019t be changed in any way. The test campaign is the new version containing one experimental variable and no other changes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-7575feec9cd9e11d18c30f019630bd80\">Be careful to conduct your control and test campaigns in the exact same way except for the element being tested. Incorporating too many changes is a common A\/B testing mistake that will compromise your results. You won\u2019t know which modifications are affecting campaign performance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-135x90.jpg 135w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-1000x665.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-900x599.jpg 900w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abone.jpg 1354w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-set-a-strategic-timeline\">Set a Strategic Timeline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-f127e174aae4e6063062c5617b2e6d24\">A\/B tests are run simultaneously to achieve the most accurate results. Email, website, and advertising platforms \u2013 for example \u2013 make it simple to deliver the two different versions to equal portions of your audience. But be careful that your test doesn\u2019t overlap with a holiday, busy season, or any other time that could skew the results, unless those distinct time frames are part of your test.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-5fad1ef5fb76c0fc550cdd235ab477e2\">How long to run your test depends on what length of time allows you to detect true behavior patterns. This number will vary by campaign. A statistically significant timeline is one that gives you enough data to draw accurate conclusions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-51f75f60662bcb4ae77ea5c49628c4d1\">For example, an advertisement may need to run for a week or more before you start comparing results \u2014 while a once-a-month email newsletter may only need 48 hours before you can detect differences between your new campaign and baseline engagement. Observe campaign histories to understand how long it usually takes your audience to interact with content, then you\u2019ll know when to assess results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-gray-2-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-statistical-significance-in-a-b-tests\"><strong>Statistical Significance in A\/B Tests<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-1dbc5200d20bb8f0452e8bfe0e250254\">Statistical significance in A\/B testing means you can prove a direct link between the change that you made and improved campaign performance. Human error or chance are major factors in any user behavior experiment, and your test will need to draw conclusions only from the results you can confidently trace back to a specific variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--36-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-experiment-with-a-meaningful-sample-size\">Experiment with a Meaningful Sample Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-6f790da8f566339dacdb5e653bb6b3a9\">To achieve statistically significant results, your campaign must have enough engagement that the test results are indicative of true patterns in user behavior. If your sample size is too small, you won\u2019t know if performance differences are due to your variant or to chance. The larger your sample size is, the more meaningful the changes in performance metrics become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-c67e8192e002c0405f4318c7b591d423\">A good rule of thumb for email marketing is to wait until your list reaches at least 1,000 subscribers before testing changes. A lower number may not give you an accurate picture of your target audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-0ecb0da3750015732e10823a7fce701e\">You\u2019ll also need to consider the quantity of data you\u2019re working with beyond the size of the audience. For example, if you are testing a website page for the purpose of conversion rate optimization (CRO), keep in mind both the number of visitors to your website as well as current conversion rates. If the landing page isn\u2019t optimized to convert traffic, you won\u2019t have enough existing conversion data to make an A\/B test worthwhile. The page might need an overhaul to align with its purpose before benefitting from A\/B tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-avoid-these-common-a-b-testing-mistakes\">Avoid These Common A\/B Testing Mistakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-2f4dc2232bf01fe1a46326d1760b7966\">A\/B tests only give meaningful insights when they\u2019re carried out with precision and forethought. Of course, not every test will give you positive results. Sometimes a hypothesis just isn\u2019t true, or a variable isn\u2019t as impactful as you thought it was. That\u2019s just a part of the process!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-33059c3db787685b99a5062195f8fee0\">However, there are a few A\/B testing mistakes that will definitely skew the results. Steer clear of these common errors, and you\u2019ll help ensure that your A\/B testing efforts pay off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-e563227048c1fdc61be4e8a91c40a611\">\n<li>Testing too many variables at once<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basing conclusions on a small sample size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Testing during an off-cycle&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not having a clear hypothesis&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Testing incomplete campaigns&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Running one-off tests<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"849\" src=\"https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-1024x849.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-1024x849.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-768x636.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-90x75.jpg 90w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-109x90.jpg 109w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-1200x994.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-1000x829.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-900x746.jpg 900w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-800x663.jpg 800w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-700x580.jpg 700w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-600x497.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-500x414.jpg 500w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-400x331.jpg 400w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-200x166.jpg 200w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges-100x83.jpg 100w, https:\/\/kartra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abbadges.jpg 1354w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20-pixels)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jumplink\" id=\"abUse\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-how-do-you-use-a-b-testing\">How Do You Use A\/B Testing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-59f2cfc3f31582176531548041210167\">At the most basic level, A\/B tests determine the superior version of a given marketing campaign by experimenting with changes to content or design. Split tests can compare seemingly minuscule elements of a marketing piece, such as a CTA button color, or larger variables such as the right time of day to send company emails.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-8f1f499ddb4f90fb3f79bd22b54e897f\">Additionally, A\/B test results can influence product positioning and other high-level components of your brand strategy when used correctly. Follow the principles below to get the most out of your A\/B tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-1-conduct-a-b-tests-regularly\">1. Conduct A\/B Tests Regularly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-dcd714996e00dec81bac628aa6aa0693\">For A\/B tests to reveal deeper insights about your audience and company strategy, you\u2019ll have to run tests consistently. Being \u201cdata-driven\u201d is an ongoing process where businesses continually identify areas of improvement, test hypotheses, and optimize campaigns based on user behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-4a1814d5a785975edb27c700dff8e8a5\">One-off tests may help to solve specific problems for a short period of time, but testing won\u2019t be a driving force behind your marketing strategy until it is part of your regular data-gathering efforts. It\u2019s also important to remember that A\/B test results are finite. Testing does not lead to one-and-done solutions, since markets and customer needs shift over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-2-cross-apply-a-b-test-results-within-your-strategy\">2. Cross-Apply A\/B Test Results Within Your Strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-0c3a52d401da11bb64e0ef1922860a64\">Rather than thinking of A\/B testing in a vacuum, maximize the benefits of your findings by cross-applying results. Consider how test insights can help you hone your marketing strategy and improve other marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-0dd149fcb7ad33947f2957a10d53d52a\">For example, a business might discover through a series of A\/B tests that email subject lines with a casual tone have a higher open rate than subject lines with their usual, formal tone. While this is a helpful insight for future email marketing campaigns, it also says something about this company\u2019s audience. The business might benefit from a more approachable brand voice across the board, not just in emails. Now they have a new hypothesis to test!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-24-font-size\" id=\"h-a-b-testing-requires-high-quality-automation\">A\/B Testing Requires High-Quality Automation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-f26f12a92e485730e735e37c8425d796\">Marketing software makes data-driven testing accessible to business owners and ensures far more accurate results than manual tests ever could. Automated A\/B tests randomly divide your campaigns between even numbers of users so the data is accurate and unbiased.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-b1023b26e11ecdb67584f1aef8dadf3c\">Split testing is so integral to digital marketing efforts that you\u2019re likely to see this feature in most marketing tools. Email marketing platforms and landing page software let brands run automated tests on their assets, and many digital advertising platforms include native A\/B testing tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-size-22-font-size\" id=\"h-kartra-is-the-best-software-for-data-driven-marketing\">Kartra is the Best Software for Data-Driven Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-bb9a9aa5a1a1112e506df4962aadbce9\">Kartra\u2019s all-in-one marketing software makes the A\/B testing process even more effective by consolidating marketing tools into one platform:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-f9872674c278646c067db51f8d105593\">\n<li>Email marketing software<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Landing page and form builder&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automated sales funnels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shopping cart software<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cross-channel marketing analytics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-gray-3-color has-text-color has-link-color has-font-size-18-font-size wp-elements-e75810333b5e78a77d92b32a8c284a33\">With an all-in-one tool like Kartra, you could run tests on website pages by adjusting no-code templates \u2014 no need to coordinate with a web designer. And you\u2019ll get access to data analytics from all of your marketing channels in one place.
