As brands compete for shelf space on digital retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Target, market share has become top of mind for many. With fragmented data sources, outdated PDPs, and competition at an all-time high, how can you drive retail sales and market share on Amazon?

Data insights masters Spencer Millerberg and Justin Maner stress the importance of acquiring accurate first- and third-party data sources to measure performance and market share.

  • Surpassing competition through high-performing websites

In this episode…

Website speed and performance are at the forefront as many eCommerce brands try to secure conversions. Yet instantaneous and seamless site experiences can be compromised by unwanted traffic, data theft, and other security concerns. How can you integrate site speed, performance, and security to improve online shopping experiences and generate quality conversions?

According to web developer Ajay Kapur, unauthorized traffic and compromised data diminish site speed, resulting in a cumbersome user experience. CDN security removes unwarranted traffic and safeguards workflow data to free up your infrastructure. However, achieving instant website speed and above-average performance requires recreating retail shopping experiences and increasing available products by eliminating page load times. This optimized performance accelerates conversion rates and revenue per user. 

On today’s episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant hosts Ajay Kapur, the GM and CTO of Security and Applications at Edgio, for a conversation about site speed, performance, and security. Ajay shares strategies for analyzing website speed and performance, how to surpass competition through high-performing websites, and online shopping trends and experiences.

  • What does AI-first involve?
  • How brands can manage sweeping digital marketing trends

In this episode…

As brands gear up for 2024, there are three major shifts they must navigate: the widespread use of AI chatbots, the end of third-party cookies, and the metaverse revival. How can you capitalize on these trends to gain a competitive advantage in 2024 and beyond?

With AI fundamentally altering the digital marketing agency structure, online marketer Udayan Bose has observed leading companies leveraging chatbots to generate consumer data insights, personalize the online shopping experience, and enhance search results. Udayan emphasizes these chatbots’ roles as personal search assistants, facilitating personalized and accurate answers to complex questions. By the end of the year, Google will disable third-party cookies completely. Yet only 15-20% of marketers are prepared for this change. Alternatively, you can leverage retail media to combine in-store and online advertising, circumventing new privacy regulations. Although the metaverse has primarily targeted gamers in the past, Udayan predicts that Apple’s release of a mixed-reality headset in February will restore interest by revolutionizing social commerce.

Tune in to this segment of The Digital Deep Dive as Aaron Conant welcomes Udayan Bose, the Founder and CEO of NetElixir, back to the show to discuss the pressing digital marketing trends of the near future.

In this episode…

Retail media is gaining traction in the digital advertising ecosystem, and retailers are leveraging it to drive in-store conversions. Yet with multichannel advertising a growing necessity and ad dollars spread thin, how can you incorporate retail media seamlessly into your strategy?

Digital impressions drive many point-of-sale conversions online, but with 80-85% of these conversions occurring in-store, retailers must engage shoppers through visual and auditory mediums. However, retail media mavens Nate Pinkston and Paul Brenner say you must combine in-store and digital advertising and retail media to generate conversions across multiple channels. This requires attributing impressions to specific campaigns and retail media networks through transparent data analytics and distributing ad spend across corresponding channels. A strong relationship with retail media networks is the foundation for an effective strategy.

Join Aaron Conant in this episode of The Digital Deep Dive as he chats with Nate Pinkston of Microsoft’s retail media department and Paul Brenner of Vibenomics about developing a retail media advertising strategy.

  • Inventory management strategies for profit optimization
  • Should CPG brands have a DTC presence?
  • Brands’ most pressing delivery concern: profitability

In this episode…

Many brands consider expanding into DTC channels, but with only one fulfillment center, they struggle to achieve optimal delivery times in various areas. With profitability a top concern in fulfillment and delivery, how can you meet consumer demands to drive additional conversions?

Instituting multiple hyper-local fulfillment centers throughout the country reduces shipping costs while ensuring inventory reaches the end consumer in 1-2 days. However, direct fulfillment alone is not enough to secure conversions. As fulfillment leader Corey Apirian notes, DTC delivery is a holistic process involving integrating multiple delivery methods and partners to maximize accuracy. Larger items may require you to leverage 3PL companies, whereas compact items can be shipped using Seller Fulfilled Prime to deliver directly to domestic Prime customers.

In today’s edition of The Digital Deep Dive, Corey Apirian, the CEO of Davinci Micro Fulfillment, returns to chat with Aaron Conant about DTC fulfillment considerations for 2024. Corey explains the importance of transparency in communicating delivery times, why CPG brands should have a DTC presence, and inventory management strategies for profitability.

In this episode…

As customer acquisition costs rise, brands try to generate conversions to secure loyalty and lifetime value. Checkout and delivery are often overlooked during the customer journey, with brands missing out on profitable opportunities. How can you optimize the fulfillment process to enhance the consumer experience?

In traditional retail shopping, customers receive the item upon purchase. However, seasoned business owner Avi Moskowitz notes that when shopping online, customers leave the shop without the product and must wait for delivery. To cultivate trust during this variable period, you must communicate reasonable and thorough expectations of shipping and delivery, ensuring you fulfill this commitment accurately. This may entail establishing omnichannel fulfillment methods through multiple hyperlocal warehouses to meet demands efficiently. 

In today’s episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant hosts Avi Moskowitz, the Co-founder and CEO of PrettyDamnQuick, for a conversation about increasing profitability through effective delivery. Avi shares how he conducts A/B testing at checkout, how to convert customers from checkout to delivery, and how to navigate shipping costs and delivery times.

In this episode…

Digital marketing has shifted from an occasional perk to a new business standard as brands optimize content to drive conversions on the digital shelf. Yet with so much demand for innovative content and record-high consumption rates, how can you test and measure your content to ensure your efforts generate maximum ROI?

According to eCommerce-focused marketer Mike Black, the first step in content optimization is to assemble your briefs to target retail algorithms and advertise in the appropriate categories. However, keywords and competitors change dynamically and frequently, so you must leverage automation and other analytics tools to track incremental performance. Mike cites the digital shelf as a key performance driver but warns that data sets can become siloed, so by applying the data to various marketing channels like retail media, you can develop an integrated strategy for informed decision-making.

In the latest episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant hosts Mike Black, the CMO of Profitero, who talks about the convergence of media, commerce, and the digital shelf.

In this episode…

With the rapid adoption of eCommerce, online marketplaces like Amazon and Walmart share more data than ever. Yet, as brands collect this data, it becomes fragmented within advertising, retail, and operations departments. How can you integrate data signals to make informed decisions?

Data analytics problem solver Sreenath Reddy classifies data into three distinct categories: strategic, operational, and diagnostic. Strategic data comprises customer lifetime value, competition, and incrementality, in which brands must take a predictive approach to develop actionable insights. Analyzing operational data requires automating performance metrics from inventory levels, ad spend, and profitability. With diagnostic data, Sreenath recommends developing a system to identify potential disruptions, causes, and solutions. 

In today’s edition of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant welcomes Sreenath Reddy, the Founder of Intentwise, back to the show to discuss analyzing and grouping Amazon data.

When attempting to advertise on Walmart.com, many brands miss the mark and fail to spend effectively. What should you know about Walmart.com’s advertising landscape, and how can you structure your investments on the platform?

According to Walmart.com specialist Michael Lebhar, advertising on the platform occurs through Walmart Connect, an integrated, self-service ad network for 1P and 3P brands. With significantly less competition than other leading ad platforms, profitability on Walmart Connect depends on your strategy and objectives and the placements you leverage. For instance, you can advertise on sponsored displays, the buy box, videos, or targeted items. Michael informs that Walmart.com emphasizes ad relevance, so optimizing your listing for search terms allows you to secure additional placements.

Michael discusses the rise of third-party sellers on the platform, how to reinvest in Walmart.com, and how to navigate the transition from Amazon to Walmart.com advertising.
