A/B testing campaigns test different versions of a email message or SMS to see how content changes can have an impact on your results. Choose what you want to test, like the subject line or content, and compare results to find out what works and what doesn't work for your audience.
Here are some common ways users learn from A/B Testing Campaigns:
- What day of the week gets better open rates?
- Does a subject line with an incentive or a teaser work best?
- Does including your company name in your subject line increase engagement?
- Is it better to use your name as the from name, or your company's name?
- Does the time of day a campaign is sent affect the click rate?
- Are recipients more likely to click a linked image or linked text?
- Do recipients prefer a campaign that contains a animated GIF or one with static images?
