What can we test with this famous "A/B testing"?
It's simple: you can perform tests on anything that is testable! That is:
- the videos
- images/photos
- newsletters
- call-to-actions
- landing pages
- the titles
- etc.
If one of the above elements is not adapted to the target, you can quickly lose potential customers.
But why do A/B testing?
Nowadays, marketers have more and more statistical data at their disposal. It has therefore almost become an obligation to rely on them and to leave your intuition aside, especially when it comes to paid advertising, for example on Facebook Ads.
When a homepage, a newsletter or a call-to-action is badly placed or not adapted to the target, you can quickly lose visitors and therefore potential customers.
This is obviously what should be avoided for continue its sales ! And one solution to achieve this is A/B testing.
Test videos for a real return on investment (ROI)!
When a video campaign is launched, you may have noticed that a single video can be declined in a multitude of versions. Some shorter than others, edited in a certain way and sometimes with different formats.
In the current era, with social networks, not doing A/B testing may seem absurd.
With more and more traffic online where videos have become the most consumed and appreciated content by users, A/B testing is needed. The short and dynamic content has become king!
