Most direct response and conversion oriented marketers know that last-click attribution simply leaves too many touch-points out of the conversion equation. Today Twitter has announced a way to help gauge the effectiveness of ad exposure (including cross-device campaigns) on conversions with new “Conversion Lift Reports”. The goal of the new reports is to help marketers capture the incremental lift that ad exposure has in the ad process.
In order to set up the campaigns, advertisers need to first request a study through Twitter. Then a target audience is segmented into two groups:
- One that sees your the Twitter ads (test group)
- One that won’t see your Twitter ads (control)
These groups are then measured against conversion tracking for websites and mobile apps (and can even leverage carrier switching for Telcos) and shows the lift that is generated by the ad exposure. This will be a boon for internal marketers stuck in a last-click attribution world who are looking to gather corporate buy-in, or for anyone that has a longer conversion process.
So far, the early results to Twitter ad exposure have been significant. Users who were served a Promoted Tweet were 1.4x more likely to convert than the control and if a user engaged in the Promoted Tweet, they were 3.2x more likely to convert:
Conversion lift reports can now be requested by all managed clients across the globe. To initiate, advertisers will need a campaign set to start in the future and will need conversion tracking installed. Once ready, simply contact your account team to run.
