Underrated Retail Media Metrics That Fly Under The Radar [Panel Episode]
Description
We all know the usual suspects — ROAS, impressions, clicks — but what if the real indicators of retail media success are hiding in plain sight? In this episode, I ask four leading brand-side retail media experts a simple but revealing question: What’s the metric you’re obsessed with that everyone else seems to ignore?
You’ll hear why one leader swapped vanity metrics for incrementality and household penetration. Another reveals an underrated email metric that shows exactly what’s resonating with customers. We’ll also explore how branded search volume can be a crystal ball for future growth, and why new-to-brand might just be your most important indicator of scalable success.
If you’re ready to move beyond the same old KPIs and start measuring what really matters, this episode will broaden your perspective about retail media performance.
