Episode notes
Episode 27 of The Marketing Operator Podcast with Fexingo digs into a surprising source of marketing waste: the A/B testing tools you already pay for. Lucas and Luna explore how testing platforms like Optimizely and Google Optimize can silently inflate costs through over-testing, sample ratio mismatch, and hidden compute fees. They walk through a real example from a mid-market SaaS company that was spending $12,000 a quarter on tests that never reached statistical significance. The hosts explain how to audit your testing pipeline, consolidate experiments, and use Bayesian methods to reduce run time by 40%. If you manage a marketing tech stack, this episode will save you from throwing budget at tests that don't move the needle. #ABTesting #MarketingWaste #MarketingOperations #MarTech #Optimizely #GoogleOptimize #BayesianStatistics #SampleRatioMismatch #StatisticalSignificance #SaaSMarketing #ConversionRate #CRO #DataDriven #MarketingBudget #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Marketing #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
