As a content strategist, you’re likely familiar with A/B testing. It’s a terrific tactic—but it’s also time and labor-intensive. For your next content project, what if you could find out what content will resonate with your audience before you launch it? Join us for a guide to content testing:

  • Why run content tests?
  • What specific content is ripe for testing?
  • When is an ideal time to test (and not)?
  • Who should you involve on your team?
  • Which tools do you use (from free to $$)?
  • How do you plan, run, analyze your test and share out the results (especially when you’re strapped for time)?
