Email marketing fundamentals

List building strategies and segmentation

We’ll do a deep dive into how you can build your community lists and design a sign-up form the right way. Similarly, you will learn how to manage lists and segment your contacts.

A/B testing

A/B testing is your best friend and compares two variants of the same message with the goal of finding the top performer. A/B testing allows you to test hypotheses, try out trends, benefit from low costs, increase effectiveness, and get to know the target audience.
