Friday Funday . . .

IF YOU CAN’T BEAT ‘EM, BUY ‘EM:  At first glance Walmart is getting it’s eCommerce clock cleaned by Amazon.  Like all B&M retailers, Walmart’s core business is under attack by consumers’ behavioral shift towards digital, and only 10% of Walmart’s in-store shoppers also buy online.  But that’s not the whole story.  Behind the scenes Walmart is investing heavily in eCommere, as noted in the attached Digiday article.  Everyone knows about Walmart’s 2016 acquisition of Jet.com for $4B.  But did you also know they’ve acquired Bonobos, Moosejaw, and several other niche eTailers.  Through these acquisitions Walmart’s eCommerce rev is +63% ytd – not too shabby!  And beyond the immediate revenue benefit, Walmart is absorbing code-writing engineers, tech proficiencies, and consumers’ purchase data across several different retail touch points.  So while Amazon is currently getting all the headlines as the Retail category killer, Walmart keeps gobbling up the smaller fish in Amazon’s digital pond.  Better not go to sleep on these guys!

RATINGS DEFLATE-GATE?:  If it’s mid-August it must be just about time for America’s top TV tradition . . . football.  But even the mighty NFL isn’t immune to the decline in TV viewership that’s being felt across the entire industry.  Last year live game ratings fell 8% vs. the previous year, mostly because people are spending less time sitting in front of TVs in general.  That trend appears to be continuing into 2017-18, according to the attached Variety link.  For a year-over-year comparison check out the table below. You’ll see the aggregate C3 ratings estimates for 2017-18 next to the 2016-17 C3 numbers.  All in, agencies are expecting the NFL’s ratings to drop about 20%.  Granted these are just estimates, but it speaks to a broader trend.  If King Football is on the long and steady road of TV ratings decline, what does that say about the rest of the lesser network shows out there?

HOUSTON, WE STILL HAVE AN ATTRIBUTION PROBLEM:  Finally today, I’d like to leave you with solid bird’s eye perspective on the marketing challenge of attribution.  As you know, Last Click Attribution remains the industry standard despite its obvious flaws.  Here’s a simple example of the problem – if you visit Cars.com and click on a Ford F150, then connect with the dealership and eventually buy the truck, Cars.com will get full attribution credit for selling the vehicle.  Obviously you’d have heard of Ford before going on the site (through decades of branding), probably had your mind set on an F150 (with call-to-action advertising), and maybe did a little online research (searched the internet), before you found the specific truck you wanted on Cars.com.  So how can marketers track and give credit to all of these channels through Multi-touch Attribution?  That’s the challenge addressed in the attached Digiday link.  What’s really cool about this article is that it touches broadly on factors that affect Multi-touch like Data Lakes, Walled Gardens, etc..  So it’s a great fresher on all things attribution.

Have a great Friday (and weekend) guys!

  11. I’ve been absent for a while, but now I remember why I used to love this blog. Thank you, I’ll try and check back more often. How frequently you update your website?

  12. F*ckin’ amazing issues here. I am very satisfied to peer your post. Thank you so much and i’m taking a look forward to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a mail?

  13. Good post. I study something more difficult on different blogs everyday. It’ll always be stimulating to learn content from different writers and follow a little one thing from their store. I’d desire to use some with the content material on my weblog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link in your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.

  14. Hi there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!

  15. Very interesting information!Perfect just what I was looking for! “Music is a higher revelation than philosophy.” by Ludwig van Beethoven.

  16. naturally like your web-site but you have to check the spelling on several of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to tell the truth nevertheless I’ll certainly come back again.

  17. I have recently started a site, the information you provide on this site has helped me tremendously. Thanks for all of your time & work. “Show me the man who keeps his house in hand, He’s fit for public authority.” by Sophocles.

  18. I must express appreciation to this writer for bailing me out of such a condition. Because of searching throughout the the web and seeing concepts that were not pleasant, I assumed my entire life was done. Living minus the strategies to the problems you’ve resolved as a result of your short post is a crucial case, as well as the kind that might have adversely damaged my career if I hadn’t discovered your web page. That talents and kindness in playing with a lot of things was very useful. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a stuff like this. It’s possible to at this time look ahead to my future. Thank you very much for this expert and sensible help. I will not be reluctant to propose your web site to anyone who should get guidance about this issue.

  19. I’ve been surfing online greater than 3 hours nowadays, yet I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s lovely worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you did, the web can be a lot more useful than ever before. “When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.” by Herbert Clark Hoover.

  20. Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  21. Thanks , I have just been searching for information about this subject for ages and yours is the greatest I’ve discovered till now. But, what about the bottom line? Are you sure about the source?

  22. Hello! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!

  23. Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
