A/B Testing: What It Is & How You Should Use It

WHAT IS A/B TESTING?

A/B testing (or split testing) is a data-driven method to compare two versions of an ad, email, landing page or any other marketing asset to see which generates the best result. It’s not about guesswork; it’s about results.

Imagine spending your marketing budget on a campaign you think will work, only to realise later that a small tweak could have doubled your conversions. That's where A/B testing comes in.

HOW TO PERFORM A/B TESTING IN YOUR BUSINESS

Choose Your Variable – Test one element at a time (headline, image, CTA, subject line, etc.).

Create Two Variations – Your original version (A) and a slightly tweaked version (B).

Split Your Audience – Show each version to a similar audience segment for accurate results.

Perform the Test Simultaneously – Ensure both versions are actioned under the same conditions to avoid skewed data.

Measure the Results – Track key metrics (click-through rate, conversion rate, engagement, etc.).

Apply & Optimise – Implement the winning version and continue refining based on insights.

Depending on your budget and the length of the promotion lifetime, it may be suitable to test two or three variables to increase the test’s accuracy.

PROS & CONS OF A/B TESTING

Cons:
