STRATEGY
Understanding Channel Performance
-
Fospha tracked and stitched customers’ cross-channel journeys to the Roman Originals website, and joined cost-data from their marketing channels, all captured within a Customer Data Platform (CDP).
-
Fospha applied a data-driven Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) model to assign value to each touchpoints in a consumer’s journey to conversion.
-
Fospha connected Roman Original’s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) data to their online data to bridge the gap between online and offline journeys (e.g parcel returns info).
-
The results of the model and a more detailed and unified view of their customer journey gave Roman Originals more precise insights into the effectiveness of their affiliate marketing strategy.
INSIGHTS & RESULTS
Fospha found that
-
Multi-Touch Attribution credited affiliate publishers 3 times less than last-touch attribution for conversions.
-
82% of converting journeys including an affiliate touchpoint had other channels as touchpoints (particularly Natural Search, Email and Direct).
-
The results of the model found that affiliates were cannibalizing other channels, taking credit for conversions that would have happened anyway.
-
Fospha produced a custom dashboard for Roman Originals that deep-dived into affiliate performance so that Roman Originals could better manage their campaigns to reduce cost without impacting sales.
-
Thanks to Fospha, Roman Originals were able to
save over 25% of their affiliate marketing spend
