Frequently asked questions

What is email split testing?

Email split testing is the process of testing multiple versions of an email or email template to learn which one performs the best.

Why is email A/B testing important for my transactional emails?

It’s important to optimize your emails for engagement in order to maximize their performance as well as maintain a high level of deliverability. The higher the engagement and the lower the spam complaints, the better your deliverability will be. Email split testing helps by allowing you to gain insights into how different elements perform compared to one another and make adjustments to optimize them.

How many email split tests can users have at the same time?

You can currently carry out 1 split test at a time with up to 5 template versions.

Do I need a separate tool for email split testing?

With MailerSend, you can send emails, create templates and carry out multivariate testing all from a single platform. There’s no need for a separate email split testing tool.

What is the difference between split testing, A/B testing and multivariate testing?

Email split testing is a method of testing the effectiveness of different elements within an email; it encompasses A/B testing and multivariate testing. A/B testing involves testing 2 versions of an email while multivariate testing involves testing 2 or more. You can test up to 5 variations of a template with MailerSend. 

Which elements should I test?

The subject line and email content are the most common elements to split test. Your email content includes headlines, titles, images and your call to action (CTA). Usually, when performing an email split test, you would change only one element at a time for each version.

How can I set up an email split test?

Creating an email split test is easy. All you need to do is head to the page of the template you want to test and select the Split test tab. Check out our guide to learn more about how to set up an email split test.
