What is incremental lift?
The modern business landscape is dominated by data. When it comes to optimizing your product page performance, typical metrics (such as return on ad spend (ROAS)) don’t always provide you with the complete picture. Incremental lift tests can provide you with a clear view of what effect a specific marketing initiative has had on your performance.
Incremental lift uses A/B testing to provide evidence of the return on investment from your marketing efforts. It can be used to attribute revenue to a specific marketing campaign.
This provides more value than other measures which may only suggest a correlation. Incremental lift makes product page optimization simple and quantifiable.
How to measure incremental lift
There are three steps to implementing an incremental lift test:
- Preparation: Identify an audience, then split them into A and B test groups.
- Intervention: Expose each group to a different variable
- Measurement: Analyze the performance of each group to determine the impact of the variable and whether it created an incremental lift.
You can calculate incremental lift using these conversion rate (CVR) formulas:
Lift = Test CVR- Control CVR / Control CVR
And
Incrementality = Test CVR - Control CVR / Test CVR
