Hi Shannon,

Do you recommend using Audience Library segments over profile scripts for Target? How do you decide which to use?

Hi, @cjara1  - Most use cases are likely solved through the Audience Library - especially now that we've added the ability to combine multiple audiences and build out AND/OR/NOT logic inside of your audiences or audience combinations.  Profile Scripts are great for when you need to do mathematical operations, simple programming loops, or just need access to raw code to tweak your audience to do exactly what you want!  Some examples there are building out affinity scores based on page engagement, or counting certain interactions in the Target profile.

Thanks, Jason.

What's the best method to debug an Audience Library segment? Is there a way to debug it live or through the AEC debugger?

Good morning and thanks for taking time out of your day for us!

How do you handle tests where the numbers, be it audience, conversion rate or lift, are low and causes the test to take a long time? I'm talking years

@1649 there are a few approaches you can use. 

 

  • Expanding the audience size that you have entering your activity
  • Use a conversion metric "higher in the funnel" to increase the amount of power in your data (AKA the number of conversions)
  • Decrease the number of experiences you are trying to test 
  • Consider if you are comfortable with a different confidence interval. Would you be OK with 80% instead of 95%? Then you need less data to detect the same difference
