4. Analysis and Insights

• Overall Performance:
  • [Provide an analysis of which variation performed better and why. Include comparisons of key metrics such as CTR, conversion rate, CPA, and CPC.]
• Tested Elements Analysis:
  • Scheduling Time: [Was there a significant difference in performance between the time slots tested? What were the results?]
  • Ad Placement: [Which placement generated more engagement or conversions? Was there a noticeable difference?]
  • Ad Format: [Which ad format (e.g., video, carousel) performed better in terms of CTR, conversion, and overall effectiveness?]
• Learnings:
  • [Share insights gained from the test, e.g., “Ads placed in Stories generated higher engagement for a younger demographic.”]
  • [Include recommendations based on test results, e.g., “Consider adjusting the scheduling to focus on evening time slots for better performance.”]

5. Next Steps and Recommendations

• Actionable Changes:
  • [Based on the results, what changes will be implemented in future campaigns? For example, “Use Variation A’s time slot for upcoming campaigns.” or “Increase spend on Video ads in the Instagram Stories placement.”]
• Follow-up Tests:
  • [If further testing is needed, describe follow-up tests that can be conducted to explore additional variables or refine the winning strategy.]
