1] A/B Test Plain Vs Designed Email:

VERY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER :

This is a very important aspect to test, and we have experienced mind-blowing results for plain text email [ you might be but it depends ]

To A/B test, we distribute your profiles on a 50-50 ratio for design email and plain text email.

How to do:

Go to conditional split from left side options, and drag conditional split to where you want to divide your audience.

Then click on select condition,

After clicking on Select a condition, you will see a list of options, then click on RANDOM SAMPLE from list.

After doing this, you will find random sample only include 50% of the people …that were needed …means 50% of traffic goes to A path and 50% to B Path.

You can A/B test plain vs design for any one email or all three emails.

If you have a good open rate, and click rate, then can go to add more

Engagement is not going down, you can check in the below screenshot.

PS: Work on your copy if not getting conversions

What To Add In Next Emails?

You might be thinking about this. Let me explain it.

So after reminding, offering a discount, and final reminder in the first 3 emails, you have to strategize differently

Going to elaborate it right now : )

You can show reviews In 3^rd email or a/b test in any email of this flow but if you did not show them a review in the first 3 emails

You can show that in 4^th email

IF….

Have shown them then think differently

Suppose you’ve offered 10% off in the first 2^nd and 3^rd emails, but they did not purchase, so try to be aggressive.

Increase it to 15% off or other [ It depends on ]

After increasing your offer, let them know they can enjoy now 10% off and 15% off within 24 hours

After that, email them after every 6-7 hours to tell them X Hours are left to save their discount.

In doing so you can send 5-6 more emails BUT…. don’t forget to have an eye over the stats ….. if KPIs start dropping ..just stop adding more emails.

PS: Stats can guide you to add more emails or not.

4] Conditional Split:

Based on gender to show them different bestsellers based on their gender
Based on locality
