🧠 When to Use A/B Testing

• Improve open rates by testing subject lines or sender names
• Increase click-throughs by testing tone, visuals, or CTAs
• Discover which offers resonate most with your audience
• Build long-term insights about your community

For tattoo artists, this could mean testing:

• “Get inked this weekend!” vs. “Free design consultation — this week only”
• Visual-heavy email with tattoo art vs. simple text message
• Friendly tone vs. professional voice
