Optimized The Marketing Acquisition Spend Across Multiple Channels For A Large Retailer In The US

Summary

The client’s marketing team was targeting customers across multiple channels through different campaigns for the acquisition of new customers. While measuring the efficiency of the channel, the channel’s contribution to the conversion of a user was calculated as a three-day first touch model. This model did not value the accurate contribution of a channel in the conversation of a user navigating through multiple channels. The objective was to design a framework to calculate the contribution of all channels in the acquisition of a customer and develop a channel mix model to optimize the spend across all the channels in order to increase the ROI and acquisition.

Approach

To address this, the team at Tredence used the following approach:

  • Developed a multi-touch attribution model using the the Markov chain concept to accurately identify the contribution of each channel in the conversion of a user.
  • Calculated the channel index using the Removal effect on Markov model. This attributed a channel index value to the channel after calculating the number of conversions made in the absence of that particular channel.
  • Established the relationship between SEM clicks vs impression from paid social, display and retargeting to reattribute channel index using the linear model. The new index was used to calculate the ROI of each channel.
  • Optimized spend by maximizing ROI of channels using Linear programming.

Key Benefits

The client can maximize the overall ROI by allocating more budget to a channel which has higher returns.

Results

Icon Boost

With reallocated spend across each channel and ROI, we would achieve ~20% higher customer conversion when compared to the previous spend allocation.
