Measuring Success • Did my campaign go out of the door? • Did I send as many as I could? • Did I spend all of my budget? • How many responses did I get? • What was the value of those responses? • How much did it cost to generate those responses? • How many of my responses were incremental
How to Measure Campaign Success (Uplift) • Uplift = Treated Responses – Control Responses • Uplift can only be measured against a control group or background response rate • Campaign profitability is measured from Uplift only not total responses • What was the average cost per incremental response? • Where did the Uplift come from? • Can we target on Uplift only?
