Real impact on your bottom line — and we can prove it

Our measurement methodology, validated by experts, shows you exactly how Upside changes consumer behavior to earn more profit.

Here’s how it works:

search

Learn about
the user

When a customer claims an Upside offer, we use retailer transaction data (without any personally identifiable information) to build a user profile based on their ongoing shopping behavior.

target

Pair them with a control group

Next, we find up to 100 similar shoppers who have never used Upside. Their average spend becomes our control group, showing what we’d expect the Upside user to spend  without Upside.

calendar

Measure what's really "incremental"

Upside compares spend between the user and control group. The difference in the user's actual spend and the control group's average is what we deem incremental — and directly attributable to Upside.
