1) Never stop asking questions. The data that you collect is only useful if you put it into action, find out what is working, what needs to be changed, and how you can better serve your clients.

2) When running AB tests, create a third version-this will create more variety and more data on what your target audience responds to.

3) For more data definitions and hilarious information, check out The Devil's Data Dictionary!
