This is great content. I’m about to start an A/B test shortly and this is very helpful. 


Fantastic thread! I've had quite a journey with A/B testing in my email campaigns, and I've found a few strategies particularly effective. One key experiment involved varying the call-to-action (CTA) placement and wording. We tested CTAs at both the top and bottom of the email and experimented with direct versus suggestive language.

The results were enlightening! CTAs at the top performed better for quick promotions, while CTAs at the bottom were more effective for detailed educational content. As for wording, direct CTAs ("Buy Now", "Register Today") outperformed suggestive ones ("Learn More", "Discover") in sales-driven campaigns.

I’d love to hear more about what others have tried and what’s worked for you!


I love this!
