I have conducted several A/B tests in the past, but one particular test stood out to me. I tested a plain text email against another email that was designed with images. Interestingly, the plain text email had higher click-through rates and conversions compared to the image-designed email. I believe this is because my audience didn't perceive the plain text email as a typical marketing email, but rather as an email from a colleague. This made them relate to the content and sparked their interest to learn more, resulting in the high click-through rates and conversions.

Hi, I'm yet to personally try out the A/B testing. However. I've created two different posts in the past with the same message but different headings and CTA. Example: Using a single post with the same caption, same target audience for test A, for test B. Using the another single post with the same caption and same target audience for test B. It helps me to know which of the posts my audience are interested in.

Worked for an marketing agency that managed department store's marketing and also store points cards.
If customers earned enough points within a year, they would get invited to store events with huge discounts available. Subject lines tested were A - ''Your exclusive event invitation'' vs B - ''Special discounts available just for you''. Suprinslgy they both performed very similar with only minor difference in open rate. I thought A would perform better due to the nature of it and being invited to an exclusive event.

In my position, at a marketing agency we carried out an A/B test for email marketing to enhance our clients newsletter campaigns. We were amazed when we altered the line from a concise and straightforward one to an intriguing and curiosity inducing line. Surprisingly the latter led to a 20% increase, in rates. This unexpected success taught us the significance of experimenting with ideas as it greatly improved user engagement and highlighted the importance of grabbing the readers attention from the subject line itself.

I haven't personally conducted email marketing A/B tests. However, a surprising A/B test could involve comparing straightforward subject lines (Version A) to creative, intriguing ones (Version B). It would be surprising if Version B outperformed Version A, challenging the assumption that clarity is always best in subject lines.

One of the most surprising A/B test results I've seen is when a landing page with benefit-driven copy lost to a landing page with product-focused copy. In the tests I've run, benefits almost always outperform features. And as we all know, a benefit-focused message is a critical element of successful marketing

I did a/b testing for a subject line. The first variety had a story idea Oct 12, 2022. While the second variety was curiosity: it was an unplanned incident.
The result was relatively similar at 52% for A and 48% for B.
