How to deal with attributions issues and cookieless in 2024: Incrementality
We had a chance to talk with Filippo about how to implement a measuring approach based on incrementality.
Incrementality, to put it in simple words, is an A-B testing approach applied to Digital Marketing campaigns. Measuring Incrementality means measuring the performance of tow target groups where one is exposed to the message and the other group isn’t. After the test period is finished you compare the performance of the two groups and consider just the difference in the performance for your calculation of Return.

How to calculate customer profitability in Fashion Ecommerce: EQUITY
When you sell online you almost always need to account for a percentage of returned items. How do these return affect the profitability of every single customer?
If a customer buys 4 items in a timeframe of a year and he/she returns 3 out of th 4 items purchased, there is a probability that you, as the ecommerce merchant, are actually loosing money on that customer. By the time you account for the 4 ship-out cost and the cost on reverse logisitics (returns shipping and handling), the marginality generated by the 1 final sale could be completely off-set buy the cost of the other 3 orders that have been returned by the customer.
Ecommerce managers can deal with this situation by calculating that long term profitability of the ecommerce customers and take potential actions to mitigate this effect.
