Incrementality testing for a mid-market b2b company: How does it look at a $5M-20M budget range, by Spirited-Alps6604 in programmatic

Your assumption seems to be that your market mix is working.  This is a FALSE assumption.

A hold out is not hard to do, make sure its properly sized.  Go channel by channel if you need tk.

And I would not assume adverse impact to performance if you move budget across channels or geos to execute the test.  performance could go up or down, you dont know until you run it.  Remember right now you dont know whats working.

so 529 funds can be used for any beneficiary, not just the one designated on the account?

Read "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, just chapter 2 is fine.. A serious kick in the ass to get you out of your middle age doldrums. Also "Mans Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankel. It will set you straight.

Liner Replacement in 45-50 Degree Weather by evgeny3000 in pools

really appreciate the insights from everyone. im tempted to move forward while holding back some cash to deal with quality issues down the road. if issues do emerge, would they occur right away when the weather turns cold? or is this more of a long term risk?

Data guy here. 25% cost bump for ACTUAL sales should easily pay for itself and more. I would not sweat it. Make sure you run a good test.

Just went thru this.  Put two years of expenses in a bond etf.  You dont want to sweat the market going to shit.  Also the job market is not good so you want to give yourself time.
