๐ธ A/B Photo Testing
Test different photos to find which ones drive more orders. Science-based selling.
What is A/B Photo Testing?
Simple: Upload 2 different photos of the same item. See which one customers click on more. Use the winner.
Example:
Photo A: Burger on white plate
Clicks: 45/week
Photo B: Burger with fries, napkin
Clicks: 78/week ๐
๐ก Tip: Use Photo B = more orders. Test next item.
