A Guide to Automated Testing:
Message Testing
Message testing is a process of systematically experimenting to create marketing content that resonates more with your audience, increases their engagement, and achieves your business goals. Effective automated message testing always requires the following four steps.
1. Randomized Test Group
The first step is to pull out a truly randomized test group that is representative of an entire audience segment.
2. Message Test
Next, send several content versions to the test group and see which version gets the most engagement.
3. Find a Winner
Use the engagement metrics on the test to determine the best version based on statistical significance.
4. Send & Record
Send the winning version to the rest of the audience segment for higher engagement and note any learnings for future content.
