New Buyer (NB)

Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)

Incremental Return on Ad Spend (Inc. ROAS)

The incremental ROAS for the mailed group vs. the holdout group. It indicates the return that was generated from this campaign beyond what was generated in absence of the campaign (holdout).

Orders Lift

The incremental lift (difference) in the number of conversions in the mailed group vs. holdout group.

Response Rate Lift (RR Lift)

The incremental lift (difference) in Response Rate in the mailed group vs. holdout group.

Revenue Lift

The difference in Revenue between the mailed vs. holdout group.
