Before I start
The web is just another channel. The future of the web is to break out of the silo and become just another part of the business.
eMetrics analysts can measure in terms of business objectives and become significant to the business as a whole.
This is good for the business. It is also good for the analysts.

Strategy and Tactics
Tactics are what you do when you know what your are trying to do, strategy is knowing what to do when you do not know what you are trying to do.

eMetrics must match brand objectives
●Emetrics are for measuring strategies not for driving them; this makes them essentially tactical
●Tying the tactics to the strategy is the road to success. Separating them leads to disaster.

Are you integrated? : A checklist
● Do you have a joined up campaign calendar?
● Do you measure the effects of your offline campaigns on your website?
● Do you measure the effects of your online campaigns in terms of offline sales?
● Do you survey your customers online?
● Do you ask them about your web presence in store? By mail? Through all your channels?
16

What else should we be doing?
● Actively seeking offline metrics to measure our online effectiveness
● Tying display advertising to in store
● Tying search to in store
● Tying in store to online feedback
● Tying online research to in store
● Incentivising users to integrate online and offline (widgets, floor graphics, etc)

What you need(The basics)
19
© dunnhumby 2008 | public
Underlying necessities
●Good Data
●Good Controls
●Good Analysis
20
© dunnhumby 2008 | public
Good Data
● Not misleading (must be representative of the whole) – The measure the things that matter
Sufficient for the analysis you are doing to be robust – Check statistical significance– You do not have to have 13 million users but it helps
Able to produce actionable insights – Knowing is no use unless you act
21
© dunnhumby 2008 | public
Good Data
● Good data comes from your customers
● Good data comes from the way you run your business
● Good data can be bought in, but rarely needs to be
22

Underlying necessities
●Good Data
●Good Controls
●Good Analysis
23
© dunnhumby 2008 | public
Good Controls
A good control is:
● A group unexposed to/affected by the factor being measured● Identical in all non measured factors to the experiment sample(s)
– Same demographic– Same shopping habits– Same lifestyle– Same age range and distribution– Same external factors (date ranges, campaign exposure, etc)– Same ...– Impossible to achieve

The art of marketing or the science of marketing?
The art of marketing is:
Taking our intrinsic understanding of what is compelling as being universal
The science of marketing is:
Measuring our effects as differences from a control and acting accordingly

Why we neverdo usability
33
© dunnhumby 2008 | public
Usability is a stealth problem
It hides under the carpet or down the back of the sofa
● People walk for so many reasons that there is always an excuse– Poor product– Irrelevant offer– Customer searching for information not purchase– Poor SEO– Bad affiliate program
● You cannot tell if your site is unusable– When asked 4 out of 10 people who listed their task as purchasing
said they failed to complete that task
34
© dunnhumby 2008 | public
The usability dilemma
Usability is an easy way to make yourself look bad
●When it works you are in troubleFinding an easy win is a sign you have been doing something stupid
●When it doesn’t work you are in trouble
Failing to find easy wins means you have been wasting your time
To make matters worse a hard win is a risk of scarce resources without any certainty that it will work
35
© dunnhumby 2008 | public
Usability, why it matters
● Another site is just a click awayBut you cannot see why they left
● It doesn't affect clickthroughs it affects salesBut eMetrics may not measure the sales
● It affects offline perception (sales) just as much as onlineBut eMetrics are online only
● Finding a problem makes you look bad, but not finding it is worsewhen you are measuring in terms of business metrics
36
© dunnhumby 2008 | public
Conclusions
● Combining eMetrics with brand objectives is possible
● You do have enough information to do real analysis
● Marketing has come of age and can now move from being an art to being a science
● eMetrics has come of age, and is now ready to become a significant part of the science of marketing
● Measuring the web site in terms of its effects on business objectives changes the actions we take in a positive way
