To get positive results from sending push notifications, you need to test connections in advance.
Split tests are especially important for campaigns with a large budget – it makes more sense to allocate a small part of the funds to A/B tests than to invest your budget in a non-converting connection.
RichPush will teach you what to test and how to do so correctly.
What is a split test of advertising?
Split testing is a comparison between several variants of the same connection in order to identify the most effective one. During the test, one group of users lands on the A connection, while the other group lands on the B connection, which is a similar connection with some changes.
The purpose of testingis to find out under what conditions and with what settings the campaign conversion rate is higher.
The result of the A/B testis the analysis of conversions from the A and B connections. The full budget can be safely invested in the option with good statistics.
What to test?
It is impossible to predict the changes in statistics that will result from changing the location of items on the landing page, button labels, and creatives. Therefore, we recommend testing:
Texts of notifications and landing pages
Testing will show how successful the triggers, selling titles, appeal to the target audience, product description and reviews on the landing page are.
Creatives and visuals
With a change of the creative, changes the CTR of push notifications. RichPush has explained how visuals affect the conversion rate and the number of clicks.
Prelanding and landing pages
Changing some elements of the landing page and their location can significantly affect the statistics. We recommend testing two different landing pages with the same insert or, on the contrary, different inserts that lead to same landing page. This approach will clearly show which option has a better conversion rate.
Buttons and their captions
Call-to-action buttons do not always increase conversions and often have the opposite effect. To improve the statistics, all you have to do is replace your perseverance with a simple instruction: “Download,” “Buy,” “Play.”
Targeting
In this case, the test helps to exclude from the settings the audience that is not interested in the offer and yields few conversions.
A/B testing rules
- Change one element within one test. If there are a lot of differences and changes in the connections, it will not be clear what exactly influenced the increase in conversions.
- Do not rush to stop your campaign after the first 10 clicks. For accurate results, both options of the ad must get enough clicks.
- Test variants A and B simultaneously to get the same statistics. This reduces the error when analyzing the performance of the ad.
- Test on identical GEO. The same target audience of different countries is very different in mentality, wealth, and interests. When testing on different GEO,statistics will be
Split tests in arbitrage will help to eliminate failed connections and understand the specificity of further work with the ad. But most importantly, they save the webmaster’s budget.
