How to do an AB test with the Consent Management Platform (CMP) TrustCommander ?
Why is it important to do AB testing with your CMP ?
The subject of consent, sometimes delegated to the legal, becomes eminently marketing. It is no longer a matter of collecting consent, but also of scripting it, testing it, measuring it... Consent is no longer just a compliance issue, but a marketing issue in its own right. As such, the consent rate must become a marketing metric in its own right, and benefit from the same optimization efforts. All the best practices deployed to improve the performance of other marketing metrics - A/B testing, usability, UX, etc. - should be applied to consent, to improve the opt-in rate which is a fundamental element of current and future marketing strategies. Consent Management Platforms are definitely a marketing issue.
That's why we recommend that you do AB testing with your consent banners.
