What Exactly is Split Testing?
Split testing, also known as A/B testing, is an essential tool for optimizing your email campaigns and improving your overall conversion rates.
Simply put, split testing involves sending two or more versions of an email campaign to a small portion of your email list and then sending the version with the highest engagement rate to the rest of your subscribers.
This means you can experiment with different subject lines, email copy, call-to-actions (CTAs), color and images to see what performs best.
To name a few benefits…
- You’ll have a better understanding of your audience.
- Expect higher engagement rates and even increased revenue depending on your content.
- Build a stronger community that resonates with your content.
Getting Started with Split Testing on Blastable:
A) Decide what you want to test.
Such as the subject line, email copy, images, colors, or CTA.
B) Create different versions of your email.
Create two or more versions of your email, each with a different variation of the element you want to test. (Directions below).
C) Choose your test group and send your emails.
Select a small portion of your email list to send each version of your email to. Make sure that the groups are equal in size and representative of your overall subscriber list.
D) Analyze the results
After the test is complete, analyze the engagement rates for each version of your email. Use this data to determine which version performed the best, and then send the winning version to the rest of your subscribers.
