You must always
concentrate on
tests that are
more probable
to have an
impact in the
long run, even if
they are less
interesting for a
moment they
are sure to have
a positive impact
on your business.
Do not test aspects that are precise and
have less impact

only considered

Do study data as explanations
Always break down the
results of your data by
using simple English , so
that it clarifies what has
actually changed and
what information is
discrete to your A/B tests.

Early responders are
more likely to respond
in a distinct manner
than those who take
some time to find and
open your mail. So,
always wait for at least
24 hours before
analyzing your data.
Do not term it too early

You must always keep in mind that A/B testing is the uncertain
and consistently changing landscape of email, e-commerce and
customer behavior. Therefore, you need to test a factor several
times and question the results every few months or for a few
years, depending on the nature of the aspect being tested.
Do not consider that the results are
permanent
