Agatha the Witch: which opening line sells a character

Too early to callAd copy · writing structureStarted 1 Oct
£402 spent across 5 versions in 22 days. Too early to call; verdict due around 29 Oct.
What we think

Same character, five openings: introduce her, tell her story, set the scene, take the guest's view, or keep it short. Casey's read is that people love the names, so the 'Meet' introduction should hold its own against the story.

What is different between the versions

The opening structure of the primary text only. Runs on the four Agatha images.

When we call it

£35.00 spent on each version, or 28 days, whichever comes first. Not before.

Text 1Meet Agatha the Witch. 🧹

She comes four ways: swooping along on her broomstick, lighting the way with her spooky pumpkin lantern, out with her faithful companion Burt the Bat, and waiting for the trick-or-treaters with her "BOO!" banner.

Each Agatha decoration is hand felted from organic wool by our skilled artisans, so yours is genuinely unique.
Hang one, or hang all four.
Text 2Agatha the Witch takes Halloween very seriously.

The broomstick has been swept, Burt the Bat has been briefed, and the "BOO!" banner has been practised.
Her spooky pumpkin lantern is, she would like you to know, extremely spooky.

Each Agatha decoration is hand felted from organic wool by our skilled artisans, so yours is genuinely unique. 🧹
Text 3The candles are lit, the sweets are by the door, and Agatha the Witch is keeping watch for the trick-or-treaters. 🎃

Hang one, or all four: on her broomstick, with her spooky pumpkin lantern, with Burt the Bat, or with her "BOO!" banner.

Each one is hand felted from organic wool by our skilled artisans, so yours is genuinely unique.
Text 4Anyone who comes round this Halloween is going to ask where you found her.

Agatha the Witch has that effect: the pointed hat, the tiny felted hands, and whichever companion she has brought along, from Burt the Bat to her spooky pumpkin lantern. 🎃

Each one is hand felted from organic wool by our skilled artisans, so yours is genuinely unique.

How this is read

The 5 texts run as options inside 4 ads (Ad 51, Ad 52, Ad 53, Ad 54). Meta chooses which text each person sees, so the texts never get equal spend, and Reels and Stories show no primary text at all, so text spend adds up to less than the ads' total. Per-text results are a steer, not a verdict: a colder text can look weaker while still doing its job for people who are not ready yet.

Spend, clicks and purchases are as reported by Meta for the ads in each test, from the test's start date to today, which is partial. Where versions share an ad set, Meta decides how much each one spends, so compare cost per purchase and purchases per click rather than totals. A test is only called once its rule is met; stopping early on a good week is how false winners get made.
