Signal - March 2023

Greetings greetings. Welcome once again to SIGNAL - a monthly ‘news & insights’ digest for those in the D2C marketing game.

Please read the rest of this digest in the voice of Alan Partridge.

I’m sure you’re sick to the back teeth of every Tom, Dick and Newsletter talking about Chat GPT. So let’s forget all that AI drivel for a mo’ and focus on some good old-fashioned HI…human intelligence.

So come, stroll your eyes through this sun-dappled (illuminating) glade of blooming flowers (insights), grass (articles) and trees (stuff about Leaf).

Every month we’ll share things we’ve learnt that can help brand owners, eComm managers and marketing teams to thrive. Jurassic Park.

???5 Steps To Protect Your Data Marketing Strategy

Gilbert Corrales, CEO of?Leaf, recently spoke with Forbes on data, marketing, and eCommerce in the current tumultuous landscape.

As markets around the world slip into recession and layoffs abound, it is inevitable that marketing budgets will come under scrutiny. When it comes to performance marketing, brands find themselves caught in the middle of the perfect storm; balancing cash flow concerns and supply chain challenges with the need to drive revenue into the business.


On A Data Tip

?? Errr….Monkey Tennis? Sounds like something Chat GPT would recommend…and then somebody would write a LinkedIn article about.

“50 Chat GPT prompts I used to train my monkey to play tennis”….. sod off.

Our excellent tip however is - if you’re having conversion tracking issues, check the update logs on the apps installed on your site. We recently discovered that an app we use for post-purchase up-sell changed its checkout journey experience, which caused significant tracking issues with Meta pixel. Apps cause tracking issues all the time, its one of the first places we look when there’s an issue.
