What is email testing?

To clarify:, email testing can mean different things to different people. It can mean A/B testing two creative elements against one another to determine which performs best. But in this blog post, email testing is part of a quality assurance process to ensure a message renders correctly in the subscriber’s inbox before hitting the send button.

Why practice email testing before sending?

Most email marketing veterans have embarrassing stories of moments when emails didn’t go as planned. How many times have you received a “Hello [First Name]” salutation? Simple testing could have revealed that the merge field wasn’t set up properly.

1. See how the email looks in different email clients

From Gmail to Outlook, mobile apps to international webmail clients, your subscribers can choose between hundreds of email clients — and each of them displays your HTML email a little differently. Your email might look perfect on your iPhone’s mail app, but broken for subscribers reading in Outlook.

2. Ensure personalization is set up correctly

Your goal is to avoid data errors and personalization strings where code appears in the message instead of the personalization token — for example, “Hi [First Name]” instead of “Hi, Shannon.” Each customer should receive the images, copy, and personal information intended specifically for them.

3. Analyze email performance for optimization

Once the emails are sent, marketers need to track how they’ve performed to iterate and optimize for future success. What are the delivery and open rates? How did the journey perform? Testing is just one element to consider as you scale your email program.
