What Is A/B Email Testing?

Data-Driven Optimization, Not Guesswork

A/B email testing, also known as split testing, allows you to send two or more variations of an email to different segments of your audience and measure which version performs better.

1

Create Two Variants

Design Variant A and Variant B, changing only one element at a time, such as the subject line, CTA, layout, or send time, so you can clearly understand what caused the performance difference.

2

Split Your Audience

Divide your email list into controlled segments and send each variation to a portion of your audience. The platform automatically calculates the ideal sample size to ensure accurate results.

3

Let Data Decide

Once the test reaches the required confidence level, the system automatically identifies the winning version and sends it to the rest of your audience for maximum impact.
