Marketing

Decide where marketing budget goes: channels, promotions and customers, by the margin they bring.

Budget follows the calendar and the usual channels, and the return shows at quarter end. WhAI measures what every euro earns across channels, promotions and customers and brings the best decision, in euros.

Budget moved to the channels with the highest margin

Less spend on promotions that create no new sales

More value kept from customers about to stop buying

WhAI comparing marketing spend by channel, promotion and customer on margin
THE PROBLEM

Promotions and budget follow calendar and habit: nobody knows how much spend creates new sales.

Promotion sales split between incremental and purchases that would have happened anyway

Promotions without margin

They sell, but part of the spend funds purchases that would have happened anyway.

Customer orders declining until they stop

Customers who do not return

The drop shows up when the customer has already stopped ordering, or just before.

Marketing budget by channel compared with return and margin

Budget on the usual channels

Spend stays on the usual channels, even where return and margin are lower.
