Common Marketing Terms

A/B পরীক্ষা

This is an experiment where you present the same thing in two different ways. For example, use one photo for a product and see how your audience reacts. Then you use a different photo of the same product and compare the reactions to each photo.

You can use this type of testing on ads, social media posts, email subject lines, and more

Analytics are patterns in data that can help a business figure out what is and isn’t working for them.

This is the cost of turning a lead into a customer. It’s the total amount of money (or time) spent on sales and marketing in a specific period divided by the number of people that bought things during that period.
