Timing It’s not going to happen over
night.
Let the campaign run a little to
gain deeper insights from the
data.
How long your learning phase
is, will fundamentally depend
on the length of your campaign.
39. Don’t do it all
at once
Don’t confuse yourself with too
many tests going on at once.
Decide which one you’ll do this
month and plan which one
you’re going to do next month.
