Business value
Dynamics 365 Marketing now enables customers to optimize their customer journeys by creating A/B tests with the same message across different channels, different messages altogether, or any next action. This adds to the existing capability for marketers to be able to test two variants of the same message together in a customer journey. With the new A/B testing tools, marketers can confidently deliver engaging messages through the best channels and increase the ROI of their journeys.
Feature details
- Test any two variants against one another: different channels with the same message, different messages with the same channel, different channels with different messages, slight variants of the same message (with different subject lines or content), or any actions in the customer journey.
- The winning metric can be message-specific (for example, email clicked), or a journey goal (for example, cart checkout); the latter allows you to choose a winning variant that truly increases the journey goal attainment.
- Control the audience distribution between the two variants.
- End the test automatically once a winning variant is declared, or end the test at a date specified.
- Choose to send a default version if a clear winner is not declared by the date specified.
This feature will be available in United States/Europe/United Kingdom/Australia geography in August, and Canada/Asia Pacific geography in October. Availability in other geographies will be communicated at a later date.
