Is it possible to test multiple subject lines, from addresses and creative?

Summary

Our system includes a split testing function which enables you to test several different variables within your campaign, such as subject lines, friendly from names, content and even your email from address. Each version of your campaign is analyzed to determine which is performing the best and the balance of your emails are sent using that version. This allows you to test and maximize your campaign using the best performing content.

You can choose the metric with which a split test winner is judged - opens, clicks and ROI.

Enabling and setting up split testing

Use the Create stage (step 1) of campaign creation to enable the use of split testing. Click on Split test settings split_test_settings_button.png to access the following options - subject lines, friendly from name, creative and from address:
