CHOOSE THE RIGHT KPIS BASED ON YOUR REAL-WORLD GOALS
After determining your overall campaign objectives, it’s time to determine your “guiding light” KPIs – the performance indicators that will be most valuable to you. But there’s one major advertising measurement mistake we see brands make over and over: not aligning their KPIs to their campaign setup.
For example, if you’re a retail brand and your main KPI is driving in-store foot-traffic visits, holding your teams accountable for additional KPIs – click-through rates, perhaps, or conversion rate – may have unintended negative consequences. We’ll show you how to ensure you’re choosing the right KPIs based on your priorities and how to set up your campaign accordingly.
WHY INCREMENTALITY IS SO VALUABLE AND HOW BEST TO MEASURE IT
Any brand’s true success metric is not conversion rate itself, but rather the incremental lift in conversion rate relative to a non-exposed control group – that is, the increase in conversion rate of those exposed to an ad versus the conversion rate of a group of people who weren’t exposed to that ad.
But what’s the best way to calculate incrementality? Confusion in the marketplace remains, which is why we’re breaking down the fundamentals of incrementality testing, as well as exploring incrementality’s key benefits you may not have considered.
ADJUST YOUR DIGITAL ADVERTISING MEASUREMENT STRATEGY TO PREPARE FOR THE END OF THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
With the end of the cookie fast approaching, marketers are aware of the method that once powered attribution 100% will soon fall to 0%. We also know the mobile ad ID won’t work as a long-term option, and iOS14’s stricter user opt-ins for location tracking will also significantly reduce the measurable universe.
There’s a silver lining, though, for most brands. Those who have been executing media in an omnichannel format may already be on their way to a future-proof measurement strategy for a cookieless future, and we’ll break it down.
