What this means: Your test reached 98.8% confidence โ€” above your 95% threshold. Variant B's conversion rate of 11.50% is higher than Control A's 10.00%, with a +15.0% lift. You can confidently roll out Variant B.

How A/B Testing Works

1

Split Your Audience Randomly

Divide your audience into two equal groups at random. In Klaviyo, this happens automatically when you set up an A/B test on a campaign. The randomization ensures any difference you see is caused by the change, not by audience differences.

2

Show Each Group a Different Version

Change one variable at a time โ€” subject line, design, offer, send time. Testing multiple changes simultaneously makes it impossible to know which one caused the difference. Keep it clean: one test, one variable.

3

Measure the Metric That Matters

Track the outcome that aligns with your goal: open rate for subject lines, click rate for design changes, conversion rate for offers. Make sure your tracking is set up before you send.

4

Check if the Difference Is Real

This is the step most people skip. A 15% lift sounds great, but on 200 recipients it could easily be noise. Use this calculator to check statistical significance before declaring a winner.

Why Statistical Significance Matters

๐ŸŽฒ

Small samples lie

A 20% lift on 200 recipients means nothing. Random variation can easily produce that. You need enough data before making decisions โ€” this calculator tells you exactly how much.

๐Ÿ’ธ

Calling tests too early wastes money

Picking a "winner" that isn't actually better means rolling out a change that does nothing โ€” or worse, hurts performance. Let the math decide, not your gut.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

The revenue impact is real

A statistically significant 10% lift in email click rate across 50,000 subscribers compounds every single send. Small wins, applied consistently, add up to serious revenue. Measure your campaign ROAS to see the full picture.

๐ŸŽฏ

Not everything needs testing

If your list is small or the change is minor, the test may never reach significance. Focus A/B tests on high-impact elements: subject lines, offers, send times, hero images.

What to A/B Test in Email Marketing

Subject Lines (Open Rate)

The classic A/B test and the highest impact per effort. Test length, personalization, urgency, emojis vs no emojis. Even a 2-3% improvement in open rate compounds across every send.

Send Time (Open Rate)

Morning vs evening, weekday vs weekend, Tuesday vs Thursday. Your audience has patterns โ€” find them. Test with at least 10,000 recipients per variant for reliable results.

Offer Type (Conversion Rate)

Percentage off vs dollar off vs free shipping โ€” which converts better for your brand? The answer varies by audience and price point. Know your margins before testing discount offers so you can set profitable thresholds.

Email Design (Click Rate)

Single CTA vs multiple CTAs, long-form vs short-form, image-heavy vs text-focused. Design changes affect click rate more than open rate โ€” measure accordingly.

Personalization (Conversion Rate)

Personalized product recommendations vs generic bestsellers, dynamic content blocks vs static. Personalization often wins, but test to prove it with your audience.
