How It Works

Our Sales Impact Study precisely matches test and control store sales over the life of the campaign.

Set Up Test and Control Stores

We carefully select and match exposed and control stores based on audience, geography, purchase history and retailer preference of nearby consumers.

Monitor Each Group

Consumers around the exposed stores receive ads across all of their devices, and those around the control stores do not.

Measure Incremental Sales Lift

Incremental sales lift is determined by calculating the percent difference in exposed store sales compared to control store sales over the life of the campaign.
