Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

partly due to a lack of nurturing, and of
the leads that get passed to sales, 73%
are never contacted.” – HubSpot
– HubSpot: Sales-Marketing Alignment Increases Revenue by 208% [Infographic]
12. Define and agree on expectations
Get key players in the same room to
decide on KPIs, and write them down in a
marketing and sales service level
agreement or SLA.

13. Deliver high-quality leads that are ready for sales
Ask the sales team what their perfect customer looks like, then build your
strategy to find and acquire him or her starting with buyer personas.
14. Collaborate to produce helpful collateral
Sync up with sales to see what they need!
● A lingering item on their to-do list that marketing can handle
● Repetitive customer questions that could be answered in a piece of collateral
● New life you can breathe into old pieces
● Filter through what’s been working, what’s never been touched, and why
Pro Tips:
1. Create a shared doc where sales reps can add new collateral requests, offer
feedback on existing pieces, and contribute insights
2. Test this collateral in your PPC campaigns for quick feedback
15. Talk, communicate, meet, connect, get together
Hold regularly scheduled meetings
where agendas include:
● Share outs of campaigns and
other marketing initiatives data
● KPI updates
● Run throughs of in-progress
work
● Collaborative collateral building
20. Then run CRM reports down to your UTMs
We like G-Connector for
Salesforce to pull reports
into Google Sheets or
export into Excel.
*you will need a Salesforce login
to complete set-up
21. Show the value of campaigns in the context of
business goals
23. Use UTMs to join conversion + paid data, too
UTM Source
utm_campaign Campaign
utm_content Ad
utm_term Search terms
24. How to export ad URL data from the networks
Let's use Facebook as our example.
1. Log into our Facebook Business
Manager account
2. View the Ads tab
3. Make sure that Ad ID, Ad Set ID,
Campaign Name & ID columns are
visible
4. Download that data
26. How to export your Google Analytics data
Next, download your conversion data. Here we’re pulling our data that we can
use to join with our Facebook advertising metrics:
● From the Source/Medium report
● Using the Secondary dimension Ad Content
● And have selected a conversion goal that measures new trial sign-ups
27. Make sure your parameters are personalized
If you use the same ad creative in multiple campaigns, you will want to also
export the utm_campaign parameter value as well.
Campaign 2Campaign 1 Campaign 3
29. Combining the ad + conversion tracking data
Remember when we used the
UTM parameter Ad Content as
our secondary dimension in our
GA report? That's the value that
we are going to use in a
VLOOKUP function to match the
Facebook ad level data.
30. Use VLOOKUP to match up data
Since most of the info we want is on the Facebook sheet, we'll start there and
build our VLOOKUP function to reference the GA data. The VLOOKUP function is
"=VLOOKUP([lookup_value], [table_array], [col_index_num], [range_lookup])"
Our values will be:
● lookup_value = Ad ID
● table_array = Facebook data with Ad ID in the first column
● col_index_num = The column number that lists your conversion values
● range_lookup = FALSE (For exact match. Each Ad ID should have it's own
row)
31. In the first empty column to the right of your data add: =VLOOKUP([ad id column], [GA
data array], [column of your metric], FALSE)
The function in our example document looks like this: =VLOOKUP(F2,'GA
Data'!A1:I4,8,FALSE)
Add more VLOOKUPs and pull in any other GA metrics that you would like to map back to
the ad ID. You can also aggregate these metrics to the Ad Set, Campaign, and Account
levels.
32. Use AdStage Join to make data matching seamless
● Turnkey data integrations
● Automatic updates
● Data from any source
● Custom keys
● Deep granularity
● No URL rewrites
34. Affect ROI with a sales mindset
Top-of-funnel efforts are history! Marketers must now be focused on down funnel
strategies and KPIs.
35. But make sure you optimize correctly
Channel Spend MQL CPL
AdWords $15,000 30 $250
Bing $5,000 25 $200
Facebook $5,000 50 $100
LinkedIn $10,000 20 $500
Total $35,000 125 $280

36. Results change as you go down funnel
Channel Spend MQL CPL Customers Revenue ROAS ACV
AdWords $15,000 30 $250 4 $32,000 213% $8,000
Bing $5,000 25 $200 3 $15,000 300% $5,000

Total $35,000 125 $280 12 $83,000 243% $6,917
Focus here

37. Now you have the data to ask for more budget
Projection: $5,000 more ad spend will net another $16,000 in revenue.
Channel Spend Lead (MQL) CPL Customers Revenue
LinkedIn $15,000 30 $500 6 $48,000
Channel Spend Lead (MQL) CPL Customers Revenue
Facebook $10,000 20 $500 4 $32,000
38. Match keywords to bottom-of-funnel mentality
Decision phase keywords most often
include:
● Purchase-related terms: buy,
purchase, sale
● Branded and competitor terms
● Requests for direct information:
contact, call, sales, demo
● Comparison, cost, and pricing
terms
● Location-specific modifiers

allows for a bi-directional sync,
which serves up email opens,
CTA clicks, and form
submissions, among other
metrics.

44. Create campaigns based on sales milestones
Helps marketers track lower funnel
conversion activity.
Marketers can create campaigns
based on sales funnel milestones by
targeting high-value customers
through Custom Audiences and
Lookalike Audiences. Marketers can
also push customers along through
other cycles by retargeting buyers
with another product or service. – Facebook Improve Customer Acquisition with the Power of Lead Ads and Offline Conversion
