Split testing (commonly referred to as "A/B Testing") is a method of testing out which of 2 or more variants of a message produces better engagement with your recipients.

The variants can be different in subject line, content and/or timing. You can test simple things like whether one subject line is better than another in terms of open rates, and more complex questions such as whether (and by how much) a 10% discount outperforms a 5% discount.

With Remarkety, you can test both newsletters and automations. However, the process is a little bit different because of how these two campaign types behave. The details are explained below.

 This article goes into details on what elements can be tested, using our A/B testing tool.

What can I test?


You are able to test anything in the campaign that you believe can affect the customer's engagement to the campaign. 

A few commonly tested examples when it comes to abandoned cart emails are:

Email timing

Remarkety's A/B test feature allows you to change the timing of the trigger of each variation. 

For example:

Variation A:

Remarkety's A/B test feature allows you to display a different subject line for each variation. 

For example:

Product recommendations: 

Remarkety's A/B test feature allows you to recommend different product recommendation types on each variation.

Campaign's design

Remarkety's A/B test feature allows you to change any element in the email's design on each variation. You can have different color CTA for each variation, different text, different images. ***Please note: Although, it is not recommended making too many changes to a campaign's design in the second variation. It will make it more difficult for you to determine what exactly caused the change in engagement rate. 

For example:

Variation A:

blobid13.png

Variation B: 

blobid14.png
