Goal: Which poster converts better among the same audience?

Here's how you might approach it:

  1. Audience Split:Send version A of your landing page to 500 users, and version B to another 500 users out of a total of 1,000.
  2. Analyze Results:After some time, compare which page brought in more buyers, and use this data to optimize your marketing.

This is the essence of A/B testing

In real-world scenarios:

  • You can test more than two versions (A, B, C, D, etc.)
  • The "poster" can be any digital asset:a web page, app screen, or mini-program page
