Solution

To overcome the challenge of improving the open rate, the company was advised to conduct A/B testing of subject lines by the ReachEngine team. The subject line massively impacts the open rate of an email campaign since the subject line makes the recipient decide whether to open the email.

They decided on their goal and created a strategy to run a test campaign two weeks before the new year campaign
They randomly picked the contacts and added them to either version A or B, keeping both segments equal in length.
The criteria for differentiating the two versions was personalizing the subject lines. Version A had a non-personalized subject line promoting the test discount offer. In contrast, Version B's subject line announced the same offer but had a tag that fetched the recipient's first name.
Based on their user behavior, they scheduled the campaign in week 1.
Upon analyzing the results, they found out that the open rate for version B was 12%, whereas the open rate for version A was 4%.
With this result, they created the second iteration of the same test discount offer for week 2.
In this second run of the A/B test, they created two more versions of the subject lines. Version A had a personalized subject line written in an informal, amicable tone, used emojis, and invoked a sense of FOMO. In comparison, version B had a personalized subject line written formally and revealed the offer straightforwardly.
Upon analyzing the results, they found out that the open rate for version B was 11%, whereas the open rate for version A was 25%. Moreover, the revenue generated from this second run of the A/B testing campaign was found to be 13% more than the campaigns they ran in the previous months.

Conclusion

For the retail e-commerce company, the subject line was a significant hindrance in improving the open rate. The A/B test conducted over two runs revealed that a campaign’s open rate could be improved upon changing the subject line content.

Inference

The company should continue using A/B testing for its email marketing campaigns to improve its open rates constantly. They should also consider implementing A/B testing to calculate the performance of other email components, such as email content, email design, frequency of emails, etc., and drive better outcomes across the board.
