Alternative Hypothesis

The hypothesis that there is a significant difference or relationship between the variables being tested.

Study Notes

Hypothesis Testing in Advertising

  • The target audience for online purchases is people aged 18-34 in May.
  • Women aged 25 and above are the target for brand awareness on Facebook and Instagram from June to August.
  • A CPG/FMCG advertiser wants to increase brand awareness for a new hair-care product among women aged 25 and above.
  • The advertiser seeks to test whether a 10-second video format on Facebook and Instagram increases brand awareness more effectively than their current 30-second videos.
  • A test hypothesis is a proposed explanation for an observation that can be tested, usually in the form of an if/then statement.
  • A test hypothesis includes a null and an alternative hypothesis, aiming to test if the null hypothesis can be rejected and the alternative accepted.
  • Advertisers should ensure that variables are specific, measurable, and aligned with their business goals when creating a test hypothesis.
  • An example test hypothesis is that an increase in the number of ad placements from 1 to 4 or more will decrease the average cost per acquisition (CPA).
  • Measurement approaches for testing hypotheses include cross-channel reach reporting, attribution, marketing mix modeling, and randomized control trial (RCT).
  • Cross-channel reach reporting measures how channels work together to generate business outcomes, including limitations related to varying metrics and reach correlation with business outcomes.
  • Attribution involves determining credit for each touchpoint on a consumer’s path to conversion, with limitations related to cost, cross-device limitations, and only including digital channels.
  • Marketing mix modeling quantifies the incremental sales impact and return on investment of marketing and nonmarketing activities, with limitations related to capturing minimal increases and time-intensive implementation.
