The Commerce Collective Podcast

It wouldn’t be the Commerce Collective podcast if we didn’t bring you a new episode on incrementality in 2024. Incrementality is still a made-up word, but in the year since we last covered incrementality we have decided to rephrase how we think about the concept - shifting away from funny estimation math to a true academic exercise looking at the long-term value of net new to channel customers and how much it costs to acquire these customers utilizing none other than clean room technology. You’ll have to listen in for Gabe Fishbein, VP of Product at Flywheel’s take on the future of incrementality as a business-driving factor.

Retail media is a well known concept to all of us in ecommerce, but we usually go straight to thinking about digital retail media. What about retail media within the stores that we walk into every day and the future opportunity that the digitization of these stores might hold? Andrew Lipsman, former Principal Analyst at Insider Intelligence educates us on how in-store advertising is no new concept, but the potential for in-store retail media to be the next reach medium driving both branding and performance is immense should retailers and advertisers be able to close the loop with measurement.
