Successful marketing doesn’t always come from proven marketing tactics.

Sometimes, it starts with experimentation — testing and seeing what works and what doesn’t.

In fact, experimentation is the gold standard at Etsy, the digital marketplace for special and handcrafted items.

Watch their presentation (video above) to learn how geo-targeting experiments work, the challenges to expect, and how to set your brand up for success.
