Finally! A/B Testing arrives to ZonMaster

I know, I know! You’ve been asking for a way to do split testing for some time! Finally we have the first stage of our solution in place.

What It Is

You can set a template to go out to all orders or to odd numbered orders or even numbered orders. Amazon pretty much splits these order numbers 50/50 and we’ve done a lot of testing – this does seem to be a good way to do the splitting. By sending one template to odd numbered orders and another to even numbered orders you can see which is more effective.

Split testing (also referred to as A/B testing or multivariate testing) is a method of conducting controlled, randomized experiments with the goal of improving a website metric, such as clicks, form completions, or purchases. Incoming traffic to the website is distributed between the original (control) and the different variations without any of the visitors knowing that they are part of an experiment. The tester waits for a statistically significant difference in behavior to emerge. The results from each variation are compared to determine which version showed the greatest improvement.

How To Use It

What we recommend is to set up two almost identical templates (you can duplicate a template by using the ‘Clone’ button when you’re viewing a template). Set one of the templates to be an ‘A’ template and the other to be a ‘B’ template.

Then change something like the subject line. Changing the subject line in one template and leaving the other alone will, then looking at the open rates, will let you see which subject line is more affective.

Or leave the subject line and change the call to action in the content of the email.

Change only 1 thing between emails – otherwise you don’t know what caused the difference results!

Where to set it

The ‘A/B Selector’ is available while editing a template.

I just signed up for Zonmaster – would really like to start split testing e-mails.

Can I only do 1 slit test at the time?
I have 4 email sequence and would like to A-B test subject lines for each e-mail in the sequence.
Do I just change 4 emails I have to A, then clone them and select B for cloned ones?

Would it work?

Thanks!

Technically we don’t have “sequences”. You can set ANY email to be an a/b test. All you need are 2 emails with the same sending parameters.
