Bien que tout le monde s’accorde pour dire que le responsive design c’est fantastique car cela permet de facilement s’adapter à tous les écrans, toutes les tailles, on est encore loin d’avoir des solutions techniques parfaites pour le mettre en place.

The new “it” couple: Marketing and A/B testing

As digital marketers, we can no longer rely on JUST our intuition when deciding what will resonate with our audience. Instead, we need hard facts and in-depth analytics to point us in the right direction for the best conversion optimization — and that’s where A/B testing comes into play.

This technique can be used to make sense of metrics such as sign-ups, downloads, purchases, and so on, to identify which version will increase or maximize an outcome of interest. Of course, one can test more than two versions at a time.
