Consumer insights have long been central to marketing strategy, but integrating audience data with the output of a typical plan is no mean feat. Collecting information is one thing, using it to develop a performance programme is quite another. In this session Ed Lovelock and Owen Hancock will explore the innovative ways Argos and Commission Junction worked together over the last year, utilising data available to them from the British retailer’s site. The audience will learn of additional information on the lifetime value of affiliate-driven customers to the company, split testing cashback rates and targeting profitable behavioural segments. Data best practices will also be covered and how, when properly utilised, they can create smarter and more efficient affiliate programmes.
