Design of an A/B Test

    propose and design an A/B test for any brand you select. For a list of good candidates, I recommend choosing a Digitally Native Vertical Brand. Here’s the full list. Part 1: Describe the A/B test you would like to run A. Describe the set up of the A/B test. o What are the specific elements you intend to test? o How would you implement the test? Would it be a “live” A/B test or a pretest? Why did you make this selection? o What outcomes or dependent measures would you use in assessing the effectiveness of the test. How would you determine which version is “best”? o What are the essential mechanics of the test? For a “live” A/B test, use the Optimizely calculator (https://www.optimizely.com/sample-size-calculator/) to determine a reasonable sample size for your test. How long would the test need to run to achieve that level of traffic volume? What percentage of total volume does the test represent? You will need to provide estimates for these variables. B. Explain why the test you propose is important. What would you learn from doing this test? What part of the marketing funnel are you addressing? What impact would the A/B test have for the brand? Additionally, if you have any predictions about the results of your A/B test, indicate this in the discussion. Be sure to include in your discussion what downstream objectives are achieved through the A/B test you propose. If your test affects sales/revenue, be sure to clearly explain the logic for how and why the results of your test would impact a substantive business decision. This does not need to be a dollar figure amount, rather, I am looking for you to justify the connection between what you are testing and a substantive business objective. The critical element is that you tie the test to some interesting and/or a substantive outcome the brand might care about. Part 2: Create a mock-up of the A/B test Develop a visual example of the A/B test you described. Use pictures, arrows, text boxes, and other visual elements to annotate the example. That is, you should include arrows pointing to key elements within the image and text boxes to discuss the edits, enhancements, or changes you to described for the A/B test
