Check out Part I and II in the Marketer’s Guide to Attribution series.
Post-campaign attribution reports are crucial when understanding the true impact of a campaign. They provide offline ROI measurement as well as produce meaningful insights for future strategic planning. However, wouldn’t it be great to get daily insights on how your campaign is driving in-store visits? Well, these kinds of tools do exist and are extremely useful for savvy marketers.
In-Flight attribution tools can give marketers the number of visits their campaign is driving daily. This allows marketers to understand which part of the campaign is driving in-store visits and which part(s) are simply not working.
Use Case For Marketers
Once you know how your campaign is driving offline visits, the possibilities for optimization are endless. Seeing day-by-day comparisons that measure a campaign’s effectiveness lets marketers identify the strengths and weaknesses of their campaign. By looking at the offline performance of a specific creative, publisher or geo allows marketers to visualize in real-time, exactly how well the campaign is driving visits.
For example, if a tech publisher is running a large amount of media in Kansas and is over-performing, then it would be wise to shift budgets from underperforming publishers and or geos to the parts of the campaign that are performing best. Maybe 2 out of 3 creatives in certain geos are performing very well, these insights allow marketers to change the creative rotation in order to maximize in-store visits and conversions. With these type of daily insights, marketers can truly see the impact of their changes and gain a new visibility into the offline world.
