> Ad clicks inadequate measure

February 2012 © Datalicious Pty Ltd 11

Only a small minority of people actually click on ads, the majority merely processes them (if at all) like any other adver3sing without an immediate response so adver3sers cannot rely on clicks as the sole success measure but should instead focus on impressions delivered

> Tracking offline responses online

  Search calls to ac3on for TV, radio, print –  Unique search term only adver3sed in print so all responses from that term must have come from print

  PURLs (personalised URLs) for direct mail –  Brand.com/clientname redirects to new URL that includes tracking parameter iden3fying response as direct mail

  Website entry survey for direct/branded visits –  Survey website visitors that have come to site directly or via branded search about their media habits, etc

  Combine data sets into media a0ribu3on model –  Combine raw data from online purchase path, website entry survey and offline sales with offline media placement informa3on in tradi3onal media a0ribu3on model

Conversions a0ributed to search terms that contain brand keywords and direct website visits are most likely not the origina3ng channel that generated the awareness and as such conversion credits should be re-‐allocated.

> Tracking offline sales online

  Email click-‐through –  Include offline sales flag in URL parameter in welcome email click-‐through URLs (or 1st email newsle0er arer offline sale) to trigger a custom ‘assisted offline sales’ conversion event

  First login arer purchase – Similar to the above method, however offline sales flag happens via JavaScript parameter defined on login rather than URL parameter

> Purchase path vs. a)ribu-on

  Important to make a dis3nc3on between media a0ribu3on and purchase path tracking –  Not the same, one is necessary to enable the other

  Tracking the complete purchase path, i.e. every paid and organic campaign touch point leading up to a conversion is a necessary requirement to be able to actually do media a0ribu3on or the alloca3on or conversion credits back to campaign touch points –  Purchase path tracking is the data collec3on and media a0ribu3on is the actual analysis or modelling

> Purchase path op-ons   Google Analy3cs – Mul3-‐channel funnels

  Adobe SiteCatalyst –  Cross-‐visit par3cipa3on JavaScript plugin – DoubleClick/Mediamind Genesis integra3on –  Light Server Calls

  Atlas, Mediamind, DoubleClick, etc –  Campaign touch point report (Mediamind) –  Raw cookie level data & manual analysis

  ClearSaleing


> Google Analy-cs   Mul3-‐channel funnels

–  Concatenates and groups campaign codes across visits   Pros

–  Free of charge as part of main tool –  Out of the box reports that require no addi3onal tags –  Does not require data warehousing and custom analy3cs

  Cons –  Raw data cannot be exported for advanced modelling –  Cannot combine purchase paths across devices –  Doesn’t include ad impressions (maybe DoubleClick in the future) –  Channels can be grouped but not re-‐classified in the interface

  Offline responses via search call to ac3on show up as search, etc –  Plauorm cannot accommodate offline data (surveys, CRM, etc) –  Purchase path data only, no a0ribu3on modeling or ROMI


> Adobe SiteCatalyst   Cross-‐visit par3cipa3on & light server calls

–  Concatenates campaign codes across visits into single string –  Light Server Call adds missing ad impressions into campaign code string

  DoubleClick/Mediamind Genesis –  Imports last ad impression, click and ad costs into SiteCatalyst as events

  Pros –  Easy add-‐on for SiteCatalyst clients, requires JavaScript change only –  Doesn’t require addi3onal data warehousing as stored in SiteCatalyst –  Campaign responses can be re-‐classified arer the fact (SAINT)

  Cons –  Conflic3ng un-‐integrated solu3ons (Light Server Call vs. Genesis) –  Addi3onal costs due to a light server call for each ad impression –  Light Server Call tracks ad impression but lacks more granular ad data –  Cannot concatenate campaign codes across different top level domains –  Data can only be exported as concatenated strings without 3me stamps –  Plauorm cannot integrate offline data into modelling (surveys, CRM, etc) –  Basic a0ribu3on modelling only that cannot be changed in retrospect –  Purchase path data only, no flexible a0ribu3on modeling or ROMI

–  Last 10 touch points before conversion aggregated across users   Raw cookie level data (all ad servers)

–  Full list of all ad touch points for each cookie ID   Pros

–  Low to very low cost for raw data –  Complete raw data available (cookie level op3on only) –  Increased flexibility due to complete and very granular data –  Campaign responses can be re-‐classified arer the fact –  Solu3on can accommodate offline data (surveys, CRM, etc) –  Ad server can track across different domains due to 3rd party cookie –  Enables advanced ROMI and a0ribu3on modelling with offline data –  A0ribu3on model can be changed in retrospect and recalculated

  Cons –  Requires custom JavaScript tags to capture organic touch points –  Requires addi3onal data warehousing and custom analy3cs
