Testar e otimizar conteúdo interativo é crucial. Minha abordagem envolve criar variantes criativas e analisar o desempenho. Por exemplo, para engajamento, crio diferentes postagens com abordagens variadas e comparo taxas de engajamento. Para inscrições ou vendas, testo variações em CTAs, copy e mídia, observando o desempenho. Esses testes contínuos geram insights para aprimorar estratégias de conteúdo interativo, adaptando-as às preferências de público e objetivos.

Each type of interactive content has its own strengths and weaknesses, and may appeal to different segments of your audience. You also need to consider the platform where you will publish and distribute your interactive content, such as your website, blog, social media, email, or landing page. The platform will affect the design, functionality, and accessibility of your interactive content.

Feito é melhor que perfeito. Sério, só depois de você publicar um conteúdo é possível mensurar o seu rendimento. Até lá, o único resultado que você tem é de sua equipe, família e amigos. Independente de quem for sua/seu convidada/o de honra para opinar sobre seus conteúdos, ela/e não equivale ao seu público. Testes A/B são essenciais para entender quais palavras e imagens mais engajam quem te segue, e o estudo e análise dos dados é essencial para recalcular a rota de tempos em tempos. Saiba a hora de começar, seguir e encerrar uma campanha. As métricas falarão por si.
