Understanding Incrementality in Marketing

Incrementality in marketing measures the effectiveness of advertising by determining which conversions would have occurred without specific ads. It contrasts with traditional attribution models that assign credit based on measurable interactions, which can result in inflated performance metrics. For instance, a coffee shop may attribute sales to an outdoor sign without acknowledging that many customers would have visited without seeing it. By using controlled experiments to gauge true impact, marketers can discern the actual value of their campaigns and optimize their strategies accordingly.
