  • What Is Incrementality & Why Is It Important in Marketing ?

    26 mars 2024, par Erin

    Imagine this : you just launched your latest campaign and it was a major success.

    You blew last month’s results out of the water.

    You combined a variety of tactics, channels and ad creatives to make it work.

    Now, it’s time to build the next campaign.

    The only issue ?

    You don’t know what made it successful or how much your recent efforts impacted the results.

    You’ve been building your brand for years. You’ve built up a variety of marketing pillars that are working for you. So, how do you know how much of your campaign is from years of effort or a new tactic you just implemented ?

    The key is incrementality.

    This is a way to properly attribute the right weight to your marketing tactics.

    In this article, we break down what incrementality is in marketing, how it differs from traditional attribution and how you can calculate and track it to grow your business.

    What is incrementality in marketing ?

    Incrementality in marketing is growth that can be directly credited to a marketing effort above and beyond the success of the branding.

    It looks at how much a specific tactic positively impacted a campaign on top of overall branding and marketing strategies.

    What is incrementally in marketing?

    For example, this could be how much a specific tactic, campaign or channel helped increase conversions, email sign-ups or organic traffic.

    The primary purpose of incrementally in marketing is to more accurately determine the impact a single marketing variable had on the success of a project.

    It removes every other factor and isolates the specific method to help marketers double down on that strategy or move on to new tactics.

    With Matomo, you can track conversions simply. With our last non-direct channel attribution system, you’ll be able to quickly see what channels are converting (and which aren’t) so you can gain insights into incrementality.

    How incrementality differs from attribution

    In marketing and advertising, it’s crucial to understand what tactics and activities drive growth.

    Incrementality and attribution help marketers and business owners understand what efforts impact their results.

    But they’re not the same.

    Here’s how they differ :

    Incrementality vs. attribution

    Incrementality explained

    Incrementality measures how much a specific marketing campaign or activity drives additional sales or growth.

    Simply put, it’s analysing the difference between having never implemented the campaign (or tactic or channel) in the first place versus the impact of the activity.

    In other words, how much revenue would you have generated this month without campaign A ?

    And how much additional revenue did you generate directly due to campaign A ?

    The reality is that dozens of factors impact revenue and growth.

    You aren’t just pouring your marketing into one specific channel or campaign at a time.

    Chances are, you’ve got your hands on several marketing initiatives like SEO, PPC, organic social media, paid search, email marketing and more.

    Beyond that, you’ve built a brand with a not-so-tangible impact on your recurring revenue.

    So, the question is, if you took away your new campaign, would you still be generating the same amount of revenue ?

    And, if you add in that campaign, how much additional revenue and growth did it directly create ?

    That is incrementality. It’s how much a campaign went above and beyond to add new revenue that wouldn’t have been there otherwise.

    So, how does attribution play into all of this ?

    Attribution explained

    Attribution is simply the process of assigning credit for a conversion to a particular marketing touchpoint.

    While incrementality is about narrowing down the overall revenue impact from a particular campaign, attribution seeks to point to a specific channel to attribute a sale.

    For example, in any given marketing campaign, you have a few marketing tactics.

    Let’s say you’re launching a limited-time product.

    You might have :

    • Paid ads via Facebook and Instagram
    • A blog post sharing how the product works
    • Organic social media posts on Instagram and TikTok
    • Email waitlist campaign building excitement around the upcoming product
    • SMS campaigns to share a limited-time discount

    So, when the time comes for the sale launch, and you generate $30,000 in revenue, what channel gets the credit ?

    Do you give credit to the paid ads on Facebook ? What about Instagram ? They got people to follow you and got them on the email waitlist.

    Do you give credit to email for reminding people of the upcoming sale ? What about your social media posts that reminded people there ?

    Or do you credit your SMS campaign that shared a limited-time discount ?

    Which channel is responsible for the sale ?

    This is what attribution is all about.

    It’s about giving credit where credit is due.

    The reason you want to attribute credit ? So you know what’s working and can double down your efforts on the high-impact marketing activities and channels.

    Leveraging incrementality and attribution together

    Incrementality and attribution aren’t competing methods of analysing what’s working.

    They’re complementary to one another and go hand in hand.

    You can (and should) use attribution and incrementality in your marketing to help understand what activities, campaigns and channels are making the biggest incremental impact on your business growth.

    Why it’s important to measure incrementality

    Incrementality is crucial to measure if you want to pour your time, money and effort into the right marketing channels and tactics.

    Here are a few reasons why you need to measure incrementality if you want to be successful with your marketing and grow your business :

    1. Accurate data

    If you want to be an effective marketer, you need to be accurate.

    You can’t blindly start marketing campaigns in hopes that you will sell many products or services.

    That’s not how it works.

    Sure, you’ll probably make some sales here and there. But to truly be effective with your work, you must measure your activities and channels correctly.

    Incrementality helps you see how each channel, tactic or campaign made a difference in your marketing.

    Matomo gives you 100% accurate data on your website activities. Unlike Google Analytics, we don’t use data sampling which limits how much data is analysed.

    Screenshot example of the Matomo dashboard

    2. Helps you to best determine the right tactics for success

    How can you plan your marketing strategy if you don’t know what’s working ?

    Think about it.

    You’ll be blindly sailing the seas without a compass telling you where to go.

    Measuring incrementality in your marketing tactics and channels helps you understand the best tactics.

    It shows you what’s moving the needle (and what’s not).

    Once you can see the most impactful tactics and channels, you can forge future campaigns that you know will work.

    3. Allows you to get the most out of your marketing budget

    Since incrementality sheds light on what’s moving your business forward, you can confidently implement your efforts on the right tactics and channels.

    Guess what happens when you start doubling down on the most impactful activities ?

    You start increasing revenue, decreasing ad spend and getting a higher return on investment.

    The result is that you will get more out of your marketing budget.

    Not only will you boost revenue, but you’ll also be able to boost profit margins since you’re not wasting money on ineffective tactics.

    4. Increase traffic

    When you see what’s truly working in your business, you can figure out what channels and tactics you should be working.

    Incrementality helps you understand not only what your best revenue tactics are but also what channels and campaigns are bringing in the most traffic.

    When you can increase traffic, you can increase your overall marketing impact.

    5. Increase revenue

    Finally, with increased traffic, the inevitable result is more conversions.

    More conversions mean more revenue.

    Incrementality gives you a vision of the tactics and channels that are converting the best.

    If you can see that your SMS campaigns are driving the best ROI, then you know that you’ll grow your revenue by pouring more into acquiring SMS leads.

    By calculating incrementality regularly, you can rest assured that you’re only investing time and money into the most impactful activities in terms of revenue generation.

    How to calculate and test incrementality in marketing

    Now that you understand how incrementality works and why it’s important to calculate, the question is : 

    How do you calculate and conduct incrementality tests ?

    Given the ever-changing marketing landscape, it’s crucial to understand how to calculate and test incrementally in your business.

    If you’re not sure how incrementality testing works, then follow these simple steps :

    How to test and analyze incrementality in marketing?

    Your first step to get an incrementality measurement is to conduct what’s referred to as a “holdout test.”

    It’s not a robust test, but it’s an easy way to get the ball rolling with incrementality.

    Here’s how it works :

    1. Choose your target audience.

    With Matomo’s segmentation feature, you can get pretty specific with your target audience, such as :

      • Visitors from the UK
      • Returning visitors
      • Mobile users
      • Visitors who clicked on a specific ad
    1. Split your audience into two groups :
      • Control group (60% of the segment)
      • Test group (40% of the segment)
    1. Target the control group with your marketing tactic (the simpler the tactic, the better).
    1. Target the test group with a different marketing tactic.
    1. Analyse the results. The difference between the control and test groups is the incremental lift in results. The new marketing tactic is either more effective or not.
    1. Repeat the test with a new control group (with an updated tactic) and a new test group (with a new tactic).

    Matomo can help you analyse the results of your campaigns in our Goals feature. Set up business objectives so you can easily track different goals like conversions.

    Here’s an example of how this incrementality testing could look in real life.

    Imagine a fitness retailer wants to start showing Facebook ads in their marketing mix.

    The marketing manager decided to conduct a holdout test. If we match our example below with the steps above, this is how the holdout test might look.

    1. They choose people who’ve purchased free weights in the past as their target audience (see how that segmentation works ?).
    2. They split this segment into a control group and a test group.
    3. For this test, they direct their regular marketing campaign to the control group (60% of the segment). The campaign includes promoting a 20% off sale on organic social media posts, email marketing, and SMS.
    4. They direct their regular marketing campaign plus Facebook ads to the test group (40% of the segment).
    5. They ran the campaign for three weeks with the goal for sale conversions and noticed :
      • The control group had a 1.5% conversion rate.
      • The test group (with Facebook ads) had a 2.1% conversion rate.
      • In this scenario, they could see the group who saw the Facebook ads convert better.
      • They created the following formula to measure the incremental lift of the Facebook ads :
    Calculation: Incrementality in marketing.
      • Here’s how the calculation works out : (2.1% – 1.5%) / 1.5% = 40%

    The Facebook ads had a positive 40% incremental lift in conversions during the sale.

    Incrementality testing isn’t a one-and-done process, though.

    While this first test is a great sign for the marketing manager, it doesn’t mean they should immediately throw all their money into Facebook ads.

    They should continue conducting tests to verify the initial test.

  • CRO Testing : The 6-Steps for Maximising Conversion Rates

    10 mars 2024, par Erin

    It’s a nightmare every marketing manager faces. Traffic is soaring after you’ve launched new digital marketing campaigns, but conversions have barely moved.

    Sound familiar ?

    The good news is you’re not alone — loads of marketing managers struggle to get potential customers to purchase. The better news is that you can test dozens of strategies to turn around your site’s fortunes. 

    Conversion rate optimisation testing (CRO testing for short) is the name for this kind of experimentation — and it can send conversion rates and revenue soaring.

    In this article, we’ll explain CRO testing and how you can start doing it today using Matomo. 

    What is CRO Testing ? 

    CRO testing is optimising your site’s conversion funnel using a series of experiments designed to improve conversion rates.

    A CRO test can take several forms, but it usually involves changing one or more elements of your landing page. It looks something like this :

    1. You hypothesise what you expect to happen.
    2. You then run an A/B test using a dedicated CRO platform or tool.
    3. This tool will divide your site’s traffic, sending one segment to one variation and the other segment to another.
    4. The CRO tool will measure conversions, track statistical significance, and declare one variation the winner. 

    A CRO tool isn’t the only software you can use to gather data when running tests. There are several other valuable data sources, including :

    • A web analytics platform : to identify issues with your website
    • User surveys : to find out what your target audience thinks about your site
    • Heatmaps : to learn where users focus their attention
    • Session recordings : to discover how visitors browse your site

    Use as many of these features, tools, and methods as you can when brainstorming hypotheses and measuring results. After all, your CRO test is only as good as your data.

    On that note, we need to mention the importance of data accuracy when researching issues with your website and running CRO tests. If you trust a platform like Google Analytics that uses data sampling (where only a subset of data is analysed), then there’s a risk you make business decisions based on inaccurate reports.

    In practice, that could see you overestimate the effectiveness of a landing page, potentially wasting thousands in ad spend on poorly converting pages. 

    That’s why over a million websites rely on Matomo as their web analytics solution—it doesn’t sample data, providing 100% accurate website traffic insights you can trust to make informed decisions.

    Types of CRO Testing 

    There are three core types of CRO tests :

    A/B testing

    A/B testing, or split testing, is when you test two versions of the same page against each other. Usually, the two pages have only one difference, such as a new headline or a different CTA. 

    An A/B test setup in Matomo

    In the test above, for example, we test what happens if we remove one of the affiliate links from a page. We hypothesise that conversions won’t change because these links aren’t effective.

    A/B/n testing

    A/B/n testing is when you test multiple variations of the same element on the same page. 

    Rather than just testing one headline against another, for example, you test multiple different headlines at once.

    A screenshot of A/B test results run using Matomo

    In the test above in Matomo, we’re testing a website’s original header against a wider and smaller version. It turns out the wider header converts significantly better. 

    Multivariate testing

    In a multivariate CRO test, you test multiple different elements at the same time. That could mean testing combining a different headline, CTA button, and image. 

    Multivariate testing can save time because you test multiple elements at once and find the best combination of elements. But you’ll usually need a lot of traffic to find a statistically significant result.

    Why is CRO testing important ?

    Who doesn’t want more conversions, right ? Improving your conversion rate is the core benefit of running a CRO test, but there are a couple of other reasons you should do it, too :

    Why Is CRO Testing Important?

    Improve conversion rates

    How well does your website convert visitors ? The average conversion rate of a typical website is 2.35%, but better-performing websites have significantly higher conversion rates. The top 25% of websites across all industries convert at a rate of 5.31% or higher.

    CRO testing is the best way to improve your site’s conversion rate by tweaking elements of your website and implementing the best results. And because it’s based on data, not your intuition, you’re likely to identify changes that move the needle. 

    Optimise the user experience

    CRO tests are also a great way to improve your site’s user experience. The process of CRO testing forces you to understand how users navigate your website using heatmaps and session recordings and fix the issues they face. 

    You could simplify your form fields to make them easier to fill in, for example, or make your pages easier to navigate. In both cases, your actions will also increase conversion rates.

    Decrease acquisition costs

    Improving your conversion rate using CRO testing will usually mean a decrease in customer acquisition costs and other conversion metrics

    After all, if the cost of your PPC ads stays the same but you convert more traffic, then each new customer will cost less to acquire.

    How to do CRO testing in 6 steps 

    Ready to get your hands dirty ? Follow these six steps to set up your first CRO test :

    Have a clear goal

    Don’t jump straight into testing. You need to be clear about what you want to achieve ; otherwise, you risk wasting time on irrelevant experiments. 

    If you’re unsure what to focus on, look back through your web analytics data and other tools like heatmaps, form analytics, and session recordings to get a feel for some of your site’s biggest conversion roadblocks. 

    Maybe there’s a page with a much lower conversion rate, for example — or a form that most users fail to complete. 

    If it’s the former, then your goal could be to increase the conversion rate of this specific landing page by 25%, bringing it in line with your site’s average. 

    The Goals dashboard in Matomo

    Make sure your new conversion goal is set up properly in your website analytics platform, too. This will ensure you’re tracking conversions accurately. 

    Set a hypothesis

    Now you’ve got a goal, it’s time to create a hypothesis. Based on your available research, a hypothesis is an assumption you make about your conversion rate optimisation test.

    A heatmap of your poorly converting landing page may show that users aren’t focusing on your CTA button because it’s hidden below the fold. 

    You could hypothesise that by placing the CTA button directly under your headline above the fold, your conversion rate should increase. 

    Whatever your goal, you can use the following template to write a hypothesis :

    If we [make this specific change], then [this specific outcome] will occur because [reason].

    Design your test elements

    Most marketing managers won’t be able to run CRO tests independently. A team of talented experts must create the assets you need for a successful experimentation. This includes designers, copywriters, and web developers. 

    Don’t just have them create one new element at a time. Accelerate the process by having your team create dozens of designs simultaneously. That way, you can run a new CRO test as soon as your current test has finished. 

    Create and launch the test

    It’s time to launch your test. Use a CRO tool to automate building your test and tracking results. 

    With Matomo’s A/B Testing feature, it’s as easy as giving your test a name, writing a hypothesis and description, and uploading the URLs of your page variants.

    How to create a new A/B test in Matomo

    Matomo handles everything else, giving you a detailed breakdown at the end of the test with the winning variant.

    Analyse the results

    You can only review the results of your CRO test once it has reached statistical significance — which means the observed outcome isn’t the result of chance.

    In the same way you wouldn’t say a die is unbiased after three rolls, you need thousands of visitors to see your landing pages and take action before deciding which is better. 

    Luckily, most CRO testing platforms, including Matomo, will highlight when a test reaches statistical significance. That means you only need to look at the result to see if your hypothesis is correct. 

    Implement and repeat

    Was your test a success ? Great, you can implement the results and test a new element. 

    Yep, that’s right. There’s no time to rest on your laurels. Continuous CRO testing is necessary to squeeze every conversion possible from your website. Just like fashion trends, website effectiveness changes over time. What works today might not work tomorrow, making ongoing CRO testing beneficial and necessary.

    That’s why it’s a good idea to choose a CRO testing platform like Matomo with no data limits.

    CRO testing examples you can run today 

    There’s no shortage of CRO tests you can run. Here are some experiments to get started with :

    Change your CTA design and copy

    Calls to action (CTAs) are the best elements to optimise during your first CRO test. You can change many things about them ; even the smallest optimisation can have a huge impact. 

    Just take a look at the image below to see how diverse your CTAs could be :

    A range of different CTA buttons

    Changing your CTA’s copy is a great place to start, especially if you have generic instructions like “Apply Now.”

    Try a more specific instruction like “Download your free trial” or “Buy now to get 30% off.” Or test benefit-led instructions like “Reduce your ad spend today” or “Take back control of your data.”

    Changing the colour of your CTAs can also yield more conversions. Bright colours are always a good bet. Just make sure your button stands out from the rest of your page. 

    Move the CTA button placement

    The placement of your CTA can be just as important as its copy or colour. If it’s down at the bottom of your page, there’s a good chance most of your visitors will miss it. 

    Try moving it above the fold to see if that makes a difference. Then, test multiple CTA buttons as opposed to just one. 

    Heatmaps and session recordings can identify whether this test is worthwhile. If users rarely focus on your CTA or just don’t scroll far enough to find it, then it’s a good bet you could see an uptick in conversions by moving it. 

    Try different headlines

    Your website’s headlines are another great place to start CRO testing. These are usually the first (and sometimes only) things visitors read, so optimising them as much as possible makes sense. 

    There are entire books written about creating persuasive headlines, but start with one of the following tactics :

    • Include a benefit
      • “Achieve radiant skin—discover the secret !”
    • Add numbers
      • “3 foolproof methods for saving money on your next vacation”
    • Using negative words instead of positive ones
      • “Avoid these 7 mistakes to unlock your potential for personal growth”
    • Shortening or lengthening your headline
      • Shortened : “Crush your fitness goals : Expert tips for success”
      • Lengthened : “Embark on your fitness journey : Learn from experts with proven tips to crush your wellness goals”

    Add more trust signals

    Adding trust signals to your website, such as brand logos, customer reviews, and security badges, can increase your conversion rate.

    We use it at Matomo by adding the logos of well-known clients like the United Nations and Amnesty International underneath our CTAs.

    Trust signals on the Matomo website

    It’s incredibly effective, too. Research by Edelman finds that trust is among the top three most important buying decision factors, above brand likeability.

  • Transcoding Modern Formats

    17 août 2014

    I’ve noticed that this blog still gets a decent amount of traffic, particularly to some of the older articles about transcoding. Since I’ve been working on a tool in this space recently, I thought I’d write something up in case it helps folks unravel how to think about transcoding these days.

    The tool I’ve been working on is EditReady, a transcoding app for the Mac. But why do you want to transcode in the first place ?

    Dailies

    After a day of shooting, there are a lot of people who need to see the footage from the day. Most of these folks aren’t equipped with editing suites or viewing stations - they want to view footage on their desktop or mobile device. That can be a problem if you’re shooting ProRes or similar.

    Converting ProRes, DNxHD or MPEG2 footage with EditReady to H.264 is fast and easy. With bulk metadata editing and custom file naming, the management of all the files from the set becomes simpler and more trackable.

    One common workflow would be to drop all the footage from a given shot into EditReady. Use the "set metadata for all" command to attach a consistent reel name to all of the clips. Do some quick spot-checks on the footage using the built in player to make sure it’s what you expect. Use the filename builder to tag all the footage with the reel name and the file creation date. Then, select the H.264 preset and hit convert. Now anyone who needs the footage can easily take the proxies with them on the go, without needing special codecs or players, and regardless of whether they’re working on a PC, a Mac, or even a mobile device.

    If your production is being shot in the Log space, you can use the LUT feature in EditReady to give your viewers a more traditional "video levels" daily. Just load a basic Log to Video Levels LUT for the batch, and your converted files will more closely resemble graded footage.

    Mezzanine Formats

    Even though many modern post production tools can work natively with H.264 from a GoPro or iPhone, there are a variety of downsides to that type of workflow. First and foremost is performance. When you’re working with H.264 in an editor or color correction tool, your computer has to constantly work to decompress the H.264 footage. Those are CPU cycles that aren’t being spent generating effects, responding to user interface clicks, or drawing your previews. Even apps that endeavor to support H.264 natively often get bogged down, or have trouble with all of the "flavors" of H.264 that are in use. For example, mixing and matching H.264 from a GoPro with H.264 from a mobile phone often leads to hiccups or instability.

    By using EditReady to batch transcode all of your footage to a format like ProRes or DNxHD, you get great performance throughout your post production pipeline, and more importantly, you get consistent performance. Since you’ll generally be exporting these formats from other parts of your pipeline as well - getting ProRes effects shots for example - you don’t have to worry about mix-and-match problems cropping up late in the production process either.

    Just like with dailies, the ability to apply bulk or custom metadata to your footage during your initial ingest also makes management easier for the rest of your production. It also makes your final output faster - transcoding from H.264 to another format is generally slower than transcoding from a mezzanine format. Nothing takes the fun out of finishing a project like watching an "exporting" bar endlessly creep along.

    Modernization

    The video industry has gone through a lot of digital formats over the last 20 years. As Mac OS X has been upgraded over the years, it’s gotten harder to play some of those old formats. There’s a lot of irreplaceable footage stored in formats like Sorensen Video, Apple Intermediate Codec, or Apple Animation. It’s important that this footage be moved to a modern format like ProRes or H.264 before it becomes totally unplayable by modern computers. Because EditReady contains a robust, flexible backend with legacy support, you can bring this footage in, select a modern format, and click convert. Back when I started this blog, we were mostly talking about DV and HDV, with a bit of Apple Intermediate Codec mixed in. If you’ve still got footage like that around, it’s time to bring it forward !

    Finally, the powerful H.264 transcoding pipeline in EditReady means you generate beautiful deliverable H.264 more rapidly than ever. Just drop in your final, edited ProRes, DNxHD, or even uncompressed footage and generate a high quality H.264 for delivery. It’s never been this easy !
