Ezra Firestone is back for another round this week with 5 tips for A/B testing eCommerce stores. We discuss everything from why you should perform testing on your site to what you should be looking for when setting up a test. You can also see the introduction video that my sales manager and I did to A/B test on my RightChannelRadios.com homepage that had Ezra cracking up (and jealous!).
On this week’s episode, Ezra and I use our businesses to provide real world examples of the best and worst ways to set up A/B testing. You won’t want to miss this episode’s valuable advice that can save you months of work!
Here’s What You’ll Learn
- Why framing your A/B testing from the standpoint of your ultimate goal for the outcome of the test is crucial.
- Ezra’s “Wizardification” of the eCommerce store theory.
- Why curiosity-based hooks will always work.
- The two pages to test that will give you the most bang for your buck.
- Why Ezra suggests running Google Analytics experiments all day long.
