Let\u2019s call the Persona A and Persona B. If Persona A shows more positive results compared to Persona B, it can be concluded that Persona A is a more effective persona.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an scenario that can illustrate the use of personas with A\/B testing.<\/p>\n<p>Say, a smartphone company has made a brand-new phone that looks very cool, available in a variety of colors, and comes with the latest high spec hardware in the market. According to the company\u2019s market research, there are two buyer personas that represent the majority of their market audience in almost equal numbers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Persona A: Loves the brand for its integration of the latest hardware.<\/li>\n<li>Persona B: Loves the appeal of the phone due to its smart look and color variety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now the company wants to decide which of these personas should be targeted in their ad campaigns to successfully attract a higher number of potential customers. For this, the company sets up a stall in two different malls with almost equal numbers of visitors per day. One stall will advertise and promote the looks and colors available for the phone while the other stall promotes the phone&#8217;s hardware specifications.<\/p>\n<p>After analyzing the results and understanding the customers\u2019 interests, the company can position its entire marketing campaigns around the persona that brought them more customers.<\/p>\n<p>HubSpot talks about the<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/how-to-do-a-b-testing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> A\/B testing methodology<\/a> in detail.
