InMarket and TikTok team up to deliver store visits and sales lift measurement solutions.
Advertisers on TikTok with physical storefronts are keen to measure how their campaigns are driving customers into their stores, and what they are purchasing once they are there. This is especially true in brick-and-mortar industries such as retail, QSR, and dining.
To measure the full-funnel customer journey from impressions to in-store visits to subsequent sales, TikTok has teamed up with InMarket, a location data intelligence company offering programmatic, audience, data, and measurement solutions surrounding foot traffic.
InMarket's measurement solution is called Lift Conversion Index® (LCI). Powered by robust consumer visit and sales data, LCI provides an accurate and holistic view into how your media drives incremental consumer visits and sales.
LCI is a people-based attribution solution that measures the true impact of advertising on consumer behaviors, real-world visits, and sales. At the core of LCI is its methodological rigor.
A store visit conversion is noted when a user visits a physical store after being exposed to a TikTok ad. This allows advertisers to understand if their specific campaign is leading to incremental visitations post exposure by comparing visitation rates of an exposed group to a group of similar control users.
To complete the full-funnel journey, InMarket offers a sales lift attribution add-on called Retail Sales Lift Attribution (RSA). InMarket cooperates with its sales data partner to perform sales lift attribution, which reports on a suite of sales attribution metrics. The solution uses purchase date and credit and debit card transactions from a subset of the same exposed/control users included in the foot traffic analysis (mentioned above) to determine incremental sales lift post ad exposure.
