🧠 What Is A/B Testing and Why It Matters
 

A/B testing is the process of sending two different versions of the same email — Version A and Version B — to small groups of your audience to see which one performs better.

You can test a variety of elements, such as:

  • Subject lines: Fun vs. formal
  • Message tone: Friendly and conversational vs. direct and professional
  • Call-to-action: A bold button vs. a simple text link
  • Visuals or layout: Image-heavy vs. minimal design

After analyzing which version earns more opens, clicks, or conversions, you send the winning email to the rest of your audience.

👉 It’s an easy way to understand what actually resonates with your audience - instead of guessing.


📬 Why and When to Use Email Marketing

Email marketing remains one of the most powerful and cost-effective channels for gyms and wellness centers to build real connections with both potential and existing members. Unlike social media, it delivers your message directly to your audience’s inbox — where attention is more personal, measurable, and action-oriented.

You should use email marketing when you want to:

  • Re-engage inactive leads or former members who haven’t visited in a while, reminding them what they’re missing and encouraging them to return.
  • Announce new classes, trainers, or special offers, keeping your community excited and informed about what’s happening at your gym.
  • Nurture interest after a free trial by guiding prospects toward a full membership with valuable content, testimonials, or limited-time discounts.
  • Build long-term loyalty and community through consistent communication that inspires, motivates, and reinforces your brand’s values.

The key? Keep it personal, short, and valuable.
