“Technology alone is not
enough.
“It’s technology married
with the liberal arts,
married with the
humanities, that yields
us the results that make
our hearts sing.”

“The most important word in the
vocabulary of advertising is
TEST.
“Never stop testing and your
advertising will never stop
improving.”
David Ogilvy
Founder, Ogilvy and Mather
The Father of Advertising
62 @JeaJen @dprism1
Bake Testing into Your Marketing Plan
Plan for the testing you’ll do at
least 3 months in advance
Alternate between simple tests
(subject line) and those that
take more effort (landing page
content)
Have a sound hypothesis
around why a test will beat the
control
Look for tests where the results
can have long term impact
Always set a quantitative goal
for your test
Goal to your bottom-line
objectives (usually revenue or
sales or page views, rarely
opens or clicks)
Make sure your results are
statistically significant
Back test periodically to confirm
your results
