I am trying to test the impact of a sale initiative on store revenue. I have created 10 matched pairs of stores and then randomly distributed one store in each pair into a test or control group.
I then ran the sale for 21 days within the test group (keeping control constant) and measured relative lift in revenue compared to baseline.
My questions
1.) Should I be using a paired t-test based on the previous store matching
2.) Should I be measuring across each day of the test such as:
Control Test
1/1/2017 4 3
1/2/2017 3 4
1/3/2017 1 3
1/4/2017 2 3
1/5/2017 2 4
1/6/2017 1 7
Or measuring across my paired markets such as:
Test Control
Market Pair 1 10 5
Market Pair 2 8 3
Market Pair 3 5 1
