Not just to see which variant of a page wins in terms of revenue generation, however also for broader insights that can help inform different teams outside of the testing or growth teams.<\/p>\n<p>The key is to have a good understanding how mobile audiences are engaging with your company holistically and where they are in their journey when this engagement takes place. Once you understand that, you are able to set up a comprehensive plan in order to engage those users at that stage.<\/p>\n<p>With a more competitive app market than ever before, learning how to optimise your app \u2013 and your <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/blog\/how-to-supercharge-your-digital-marketing-with-augmented-reality-campaigns\/\">digital marketing<\/a> campaigns \u2013 is crucial. Even a small change in your app\u2019s user experience could have a significant impact on conversion rates. This means that it\u2019s important to test what works and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A\/B Testing In A Mobile World<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For mobile marketers, A\/B testing frequently means optimising conversion funnels within your mobile app through testing with <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/blog\/what-is-a-call-to-action\/\">calls to action<\/a>, new user flows, pictures as well as layouts in addition to A\/B testing advertising which drives mobile acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>However, A\/B testing solutions can be utilised for so much more than basic optimisation.<\/p>\n<p>You are able to group mobile users into two key categories:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Firstly, there are those who are in high exploration mode \u2013 perhaps on a train or drinking a coffee \u2013 who are simply passing time and looking to entertain themselves.<\/li>\n<li>Then there are those who have very high intent but only have a limited amount of time to discover what they are looking for, perhaps because they forgot to do it before leaving the house or the office and are usually on the go. For these people, it\u2019s important they find whatever it is they need to execute as quickly as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For companies, therefore, it\u2019s extremely important to create a balance between engaging mobile users when they want to be engaged, however not at the expense of blocking their access to key information or your primary CTA.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-video align_none ratio_16x9 has_iframe\"><div class=\"w-video-h\"><iframe title=\"Vimeo video player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/290442954?autoplay=0&loop=0&autopause=0&color=00adef&portrait=0&byline=1&title=1&controls=1&muted=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/div><div class=\"w-video-icon\" style=\"font-size:1.5rem;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.5);color:#fff\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2><strong>Develop A Hypothesis<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Firstly, you need to research \u2013 as well as analyse &#8211; the information available and establish your hypothesis. Without this, you won\u2019t have the ability to define which variable to test. For instance, your hypothesis could be that having fewer products on display upon opening your e-commerce app will increase the session time. This hypothesis, which must be informed by prior research, can then be utilised in order to define your variable.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Personalised Content<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Personalisation is another fundamental area which continues to grow. Again, it\u2019s about engaging users with content that is relevant to them. By using<a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/digital-marketing-blog\/what-is-a-b-split-testing\/\"><strong> A\/B testing,<\/strong><\/a> companies can be assisted with delivering different types of personalisation, such as helping them to provide localised content.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in the US there are restrictions on the types of offers you can provide customers in certain states, such as California. However, there are different ways in order to develop personalisation beyond third party cookies. For example, account-based marketing campaigns allow for highly personalised content to be served to a user.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/contact-us\/\">Get in touch with the Digital School of Marketing<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>If you would like to become a mobile marketing expert, then you need to our Digital Marketing Course.\u00a0 Follow this <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/courses\/digital-marketing-course\/\">link<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/courses\/digital-marketing-course\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-759 size-shop_single\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSM_Footer04-600x96.jpg\" alt=\"DSM Digital School of Marketing Digital Marketing course registration\" width=\"600\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_justify\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_2\" href=\"#enquiry\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Enquire Today<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><h3 class=\"w-text us_custom_6caa4608 has_text_color\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">Blog Categories<\/span><\/span><\/h3><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_5cd26a65\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><ul>\n<li class=\"cat-item cat-item-1\"><a href=\"\/blog\/content-marketing\/\">Content Marketing<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"cat-item cat-item-2\"><a href=\"\/blog\/digital-marketing\/\">Digital Marketing<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"cat-item cat-item-2\"><a href=\"\/blog\/cyber-security-blog\/\">Cyber Security<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"cat-item cat-item-2\"><a href=\"\/blog\/graphic-design-blog\/\">Graphic Design<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"cat-item cat-item-3\"><a href=\"\/blog\/public-relations\/\">Public Relations<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"cat-item cat-item-4\"><a href=\"\/blog\/seo\/\">SEO<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"cat-item cat-item-5\"><a href=\"\/blog\/social-media-marketing\/\">Social Media Marketing<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"cat-item cat-item-5\"><a href=\"\/blog\/web-design-blog\/\">Web Design<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><h3 class=\"w-text us_custom_6caa4608 has_text_color\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">You might also like<\/span><\/span><\/h3><div class=\"w-html\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/social-media-marketing-blog\/zero-moment-of-truth-benefit-social-media-marketing\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Use the Zero Moment of Truth to Benefit your Social Media Marketing<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/digital-marketing-blog\/your-complete-guide-to-ppc-marketing-basic\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Your Complete Guide to PPC Marketing Basics.
