What does Incrementality mean?

Measuring the conversions that wouldn't have happened without your campaign — advertising's real causal effect.

Full definition

Incrementality separates sales caused by advertising from those that would have happened anyway. It's measured through controlled tests: holdout groups, geo-experiments (cutting a channel in some regions), or platform conversion lift studies.

Why is it important?

Classic attribution assigns conversions; incrementality proves causality. Retargeting, for instance, shows spectacular ROAS but often low incrementality: it 'recovers' customers already convinced.

The Jour de Chance approach

"We run quarterly incrementality tests on the main budget lines. Budgets get reallocated toward what causes sales, not what claims them."
