Adobe Target Capabilities
#2 of 7 – Multivariate (MVT) Testing
Adobe Target offers many different testing & personalization options. I’ve outlined them here, and separated them into several categories – Non-personalized vs. personalized and Non-AI/ML vs. AI/ML. Note that the categories can overlap. The dotted lines represent the corresponding Personalized/AI version of the non-personalized/non-AI category. So Automated Personalization is to Multivariate what Auto-Target is to A/B testing.
This post will cover Multivariate (MVT) Testing! MVT Testing falls into the non-personalized, non-AI/Machine-learning suite of capabilities in the Adobe Target Premium capabilities package, although this option is also available in Target Standard. In future posts, I’ll cover the other categories! Stay tuned!
What is MVT testing?
Used for testing which combination of elements works the best together
Like:
- Title
- Image
- Placement
- Copy
- Color
- Shape
When to use MVT testing
- Want to test changing several different elements
- You can set these up as an A/B test with a lot of variants – one for each combination, but the out of box MVT Target option will do this for you/reduce manual work
- No need for personalization
- Time is not a big factor
- Decent amount of traffic to the page
- Narrow down winners (via evidence test) to do a value-driving test (sales read)
Examples:
- You want to change the hero banner on a page and test several elements like title, copy, image, color, placement, etc.
- The search team might want to change several elements on the product tile on the search results page, like the font size, product image, the badges that appear, and copy.
