Many of today’s leading brands are forced to be fri-nemies with Amazon. It’s too valuable of a retail channel for CPGs and other brands to avoid or fight against. But some of the productive mechanisms powering the retail behemoth aren’t unique to them.
Brands can harness and apply similarly powerful AI and data modeling outside of Amazon. Zeta’s outcome-driven AI and intender audience modeling empower brands to boost business outcomes while keeping operations inside their four walls.
You Can't Beat Amazon, But You Can Learn from Them.

Back Test Revealed Significant Revenue Opportunity for US
Retailer
Though analyzing historical campaigns and models leveraged for targeting, Zeta was able to demonstrate:
+ An estimated 12 month incremental $9.89M gross margin benefit from 40K shoppers making 53K new transactions —
while delivering $2.4M Gross Margin Benefit* before year end
A total 17% lift^ in predicted likelihood to buy models over current modeling
+ Actives and inactives who are likely to buy
+ Likelihood for price insensitive to buy full price
+ Likelihood for past buyers to buy again with personalized product recommendations
Accelerated customer-centric prediction capabilities through our proprietary buyer intent signal data—
previously outside of brand’s marketing reach

“Connecting with our consumers, especially digitally, is a top
priority as we look to win over the next generation, and our new
model for media partners will help us to deliver on that efficiently
and at scale,” – Client CMO

Our analysis criteria: Shopped in last 36M (from our modeling period i.e. Sep 30 2018), with a valid opt-in email address, matched to BAU data, and also additional
exclusions applied (fraud, bulk buyers, employees).
*Gross Sales - Returns - Cost of Goods Sold (65% Gross Margin)
^Relevant lift is described as ‘As a percent of the expected $57.7M 12 Mo. gross margin, what is the incremental 12-month gross margin that can be directly attributed to new

Notas do Editor
51% of consumers trust Amazon to provide the most useful product information and recommendation (Salsify)
44% of customers buy from Amazon’s product recommendations (SmarterHQ), while Mckinsey & Co once predicted that 35% of what consumers purchase on Amazon come from product recommendations.
Amazon is a viable sales channel for leading brands. That won’t change anytime soon. But retailers must take lessons from Amazon and bring AI and data modeling into your own four walls.
Zeta’s AI and modeling capabilities empower leading brands across the world to drive better business outcomes. Our vast Zeta Data Cloud and our clients’ first party data are synthesized by our AI, uncovering interest and intent at the individual level.
Here’s an example of how we helped one client drive better business results
