Editor's Notes
“People” are being targeted vs. websites or search queries.
There is no linear path to purchase
Level 1Tell you what happenedTypically summarized metrics that reveal little opportunity to optimize campaignsAre typically manually-managed, and thus are subject to human error and difficult to scaleLevel 2Identify opportunities to optimize campaigns or even inform shifts in strategyLeverage technology more to streamline and scale report development, enabling for more time to be spent on analysisLeverage basic statistics to filter for meaningful informationLevel 3Highly sophisticated use of technology and statisticsTypically highly automated, with most time going towards analysis and testing
Retargeting, conversion, etc.
“stealing credit” for acquisitionsPros: Slice & dice cookies, apples to apples comparisons, soup to nuts attribution
API for optimization
There is a rich amount of targeting data
Just because you can measure it, doesn’t mean you should.Volume & Efficiency
Technology allows for great flexibility from standard rules to fully customizable actions. Test over time to determine which are most effective and aim to mirror decisions made if managed manually.
Ability to build custom views of data which drive intuitive actionsPath to conversion (in-search keyword trail and out of search path to conversion)Feed-based keyword development/optimization, they have 5000+ products!Anything else that we simply feel is worth touting as technology or approach that drives campaign mgmt/optimization best practices.Since they use CoreMetrics, we need to be prepared to talk integration of this (tagging)Of course, Lowes insights will be discussed here so let’s think of the simple one’s based on Kenshoo/what it provides that ties to campaign performance, testing, etc.
Path to conversion (in-search keyword trail and out of search path to conversion)Jeff/Erica: Anything else would be good to show that relates.
How does one test? How do you test other traditional marketing campaigns?
