Should you use a video, a photo, or straight copy in your ads? In this week’s testing corner, we look at testing ads for format, including editorial vs. rich design and with a photo/video vs. without.

Finally, we tested the headlines.

Here are our results:

  1. We know editorial ads work better than design/display ads.
  2. Including a photo/video increased response. In this case, the video image increased response by 48%.
  3. Testing headlines/ads is always critical. Headline A: Facebook missed it! Google wants it! Received 18% more click-throughs than headline B, The Great Mobile App Bidding War.
