What is A/B Testing for Marketing Optimization?

According to Wikipedia, “A/B testing or split testing is a randomized experiment with two variants, A and B. It includes the application of statistical hypothesis testing or “two-sample hypothesis testing” as used in the field of statistics. A/B testing is a way to compare two versions of a single variable, typically by testing a subject’s response to variant A against variant B, and determining which of the two variants is more effective”.

A/B testing is a method of testing through which marketing variables (e.g. copy, images, layout, etc) are compared to each other in order to identify the one that brings a better conversion rate. The element that is being tested is called the “control” and the element that is argued to give a better result is called the “treatment.”

And the good news is that chances are your competitors aren’t doing A/B testing right, giving you more room to grow and create better content that converts.
