1 Meda M Modelng vs. ANCOVA An Analytcal Debate
2 What s the best way to measure ncremental sales, or lft, generated from marketng nvestment dollars? 2
3 Measurng ROI From Promotonal Spend Where possble to mplement, an epermental desgn that uses a randomly selected holdout group provdes the most statstcal power and relablty n marketng measurement Sample Drect Marketng Campagn Plan: 22 June July August September October November December TMS DM TMS EM TMS EM 2 DM3 DM4 DM2 Event Market Events and Eternal Factors 3
4 Use Randomzaton to Increase Statstcal Power Holdout sample should be selected from the lowest level of the epermental desgn and each treatment cell should have a correspondng randomly selected holdout group Segment Targets N=5,6 Segment 2 Targets N=35,2 Segment 3 Targets N=2, TREATMENT GROUP (TEST) RANDOM CONTROL TREATMENT GROUP (TEST) RANDOM CONTROL TREATMENT GROUP (TEST) RANDOM CONTROL NOTE: Control group can be much smaller than treatment group. Use sample sze calculator to determne mnmum possble sample sze for control group Sample Sze Calculator 4 Opton to apply fnte populaton correcton adjustment
5 Verfy Pre-Campagn Holdout Valdty PRE PERIOD CAMPAIGN RUNS POST PERIOD Random selecton of the control group from the target group should guarantee that the test and control groups are equvalent on key metrcs pror to the campagn start, but Statstcal testng of the dfference between pre-perod test and control groups on key metrcs s an mportant valdaton step and adds to confdence n the post-perod measurement P-Values for the Dfference Between Test and Control Group Mean Values on Key Metrcs n Pre-Perod Sample Metrcs Group Group2 Group3 Pre-Perod Trends: Test and Control Groups Avg. Sales$ Meda Impressons Other Promotonal Spend Compettor Spend Demographcs p >.5 s non-sgnfcant
6 Measure Pre-Post Launch Change If the test group and control group are statstcally equvalent pror to the campagn launch, then the dfference n sales between the groups after the campagn represents the ncremental sales contrbuton of the campagn ANCOVA (Analyss of Covarance) test wll measure the sgnfcance of the dfference and also control for other potental factors that could dfferentally mpact test and control groups durng the campagn perod PRE PERIOD CAMPAIGN POST Test Control Campagn Effect?? Average Weekly Sales per Target: Test v Control, Pre and Post Pre-Perod Post- Perod Growth From Pre to Post Test Control Test-Control..5.4 ANCOVA Adjusted. Campagn Effect 6 Sales by Week: Test and Control Groups ANCOVA Adjusted dfference s after controllng for covarates and, f sgnfcant (pvalue less than.5), s the measure of true ncremental sales from the campagn
7 Summary: ANCOVA for Marketng Measurement Benefts Etremely relable results Conservatve test Control for other factors that may mpact volume growth of target relatve to holdout Able to scale to calculate overall ROI from marketng program Epect replcable results f same condtons and weghts apply n repeated treatment 7
8 There s another opton Meda M Modelng can overcome many lmtatons of ANCOVA-based analyss 8
9 Lmtatons of ANCOVA Feasblty of holdout group Opportunty cost of beng out of market wth ncremental meda Selecton of test perod length s subjectve Dffcult to measure mass & dgtal meda No gudance on cross-tactc decsons Does not provde nsght nto future budget allocaton decsons Does not eplan base factor contrbutons As we wll see, Meda M Modelng wll overcome all of these lmtatons 9
