Incrementality testing allows companies to test new ideas quickly and cheaply, without sacrificing quality. By testing small changes incrementally, companies can avoid the costly mistakes that come with major changes, while taking advantage of compounding improvements of their results over time.
Incrementality testing is a process of testing in which a small change is added to an existing existing asset, and each increment is tested. This allows for more efficient and effective testing, as well as early detection of defects.
It is a scientific approach that uses data and experimentation to find the optimal path to success. Incrementality testing can be used in many different situations, but it is especially useful for marketing campaigns. By carefully designing and measuring the results of small test groups, marketers can make informed decisions about how to allocate their resources for the best possible return on investment.
Incrementality testing is an important tool for any organization that wants to optimize its use of resources. By using data and experimentation, it is possible to find the most efficient path to success.
This approach to testing has many benefits, including:
1. Allowing for faster feedback – With incremental testing, you can get feedback on your new ad idea or concept much faster than if you were to wait until the entire project was completed. This is because you are only testing small pieces at a time, so there are fewer potential problems that need to be fixed.
2. Avoiding regression in performance – Finally, incremental testing can help avoid decreases in performance. When performance is seen to decrease as a result of a new change, bugs that occur when new code is added that breaks existing functionality.
Since incrementality testing is a method not dependent on any specific ad network features, as an advertiser you can in fact run incrementality tests on any network. The specific way to setup these tests will depend on how your campaigns are structured, but you can setup your incrementality test using the following steps:
1. Select your base ads .- This is the ad that will be used for you comparison.
2. Duplicate your base ad. – By duplicating the ad, you conserve the learnings associated with that ad, as well as any specific setting of the ad.
3. Develop your test hypothesis. – Think about what you know about your audience and current creatives and make a choice of possible improvement to test.
4. Make changes to your test ad. – With your hypothesis developed, it’s time for you to make the change to your test ad (the ad that was duplicated above.)
5. Run the test. – With your test ad and base ad ready, it’s time to run the test and let your audience decide which is the better one.
Incrementality testing is a vital tool for any team that wants to optimize its Google Ads campaigns. By running tests, teams can see how changes to their campaigns impact performance and make data-driven decisions about what works best for their business.
Flowin is a tool that was specifically designed to improve the performance of your ads. Through the use of our tool learn more about the elements in your ads that work and don’t work to help you make those important incrementality testing decisions.
In conclusion, incrementality testing is a method that has the potential to significantly improve the performance of your campaigns. With the right process in place, you should expect slow and steady improvements to your campaign ROAS.
