“About 77% of companies now run A/B testing on their websites.” ( Mailmodo ) Have you ever wondered why some ads grab your attention while others don’t? Or why one email makes you click while another gets ignored? The truth is, marketers don’t always know what will work best. That’s where A/B testing comes in. It’s a simple but powerful way to compare two versions of something—like a headline, an image, or a call‑to‑action button—and see which one performs better. Think of it like a science experiment. You change one thing, keep everything else the same, and measure the results. But it’s also an art, because you need creativity to decide what to test and how to present it.

How to Create Calls to Action That Drive Conversions

  “Personalized CTAs convert 202% better than standard CTAs.” ( WordStream ) Imagine you’re at a busy street corner, holding a sign that says “Click Here.” People walk by, glance at it, and keep moving. Why? Because the sign doesn’t tell them what they’ll get if they stop. Now imagine the sign says “Free Ice Cream—Get Yours Today.” Suddenly, people line up.

Unlike social media, where posts can get lost in a busy feed, emails land directly in someone’s inbox. That makes email personal, direct, and effective. But here’s the catch: sending random emails won’t get you results. You need a clear strategy. Think of email marketing like building a relationship. If you only show up when you want something, people will ignore you. But if you provide value, stay consistent, and respect your audience, they’ll look forward to hearing from you. In this post, we’ll walk through the steps to create an email marketing strategy that actually works. Why Email Marketing Matters Email marketing has been around for decades, but it’s still one of the best ways to connect with customers. Studies show that email delivers a higher return on investment (ROI) than most other channels. Why? Because it’s direct, measura...
