Omnichannel Retail & CPG

Understand the marketing behind the sale with omnichannel retail measurement

Connect the evidence across stores, ecommerce, marketplaces and retail media. Lifesight shows which marketing creates incremental sales, so retail and CPG teams can invest around the growth their marketing adds to the whole business.

The approach

Measure retail sales wherever they happen: in store, online and on marketplaces

The sale can happen somewhere the ad never sees. Lifesight connects media investment to the store, ecommerce and partner outcomes you can observe, and agrees the coverage with you before deciding what the model can say about your retail business.

Outcome coverage: measure incremental sales across every channel you can observe

Reconcile store, ecommerce, marketplace and available retail partner data into one consistent outcome frame. Define the included channels, dates and coverage before comparing marketing contribution. A complete-looking report needs an honest coverage definition.

Business context: model price, promotion and seasonality alongside media

Read media evidence next to agreed trading conditions, including promotions, price changes, distribution and seasonal peaks. Use causal MMM and geo experiments for the investment questions each can support, so not every sales movement gets credited to media.

Investment planning: plan retail media, brand and trade budgets together

Compare media alternatives using the reconciled outcome and agreed commitments. Carry incremental ROAS (iROAS), the forecast range and the coverage limits into the investment review, so retail, brand and finance decide on the same picture, beyond the last click.

Retail media and marketplaces

Retail media measurement across Amazon, Walmart and other retail networks

Connect Amazon Ads, Walmart Connect, Target Roundel, Instacart and Kroger Precision to causal outcomes. Tie retail media to retailer baskets, read the halo effect across marketplaces and your own .com, and avoid double counting sales that platform dashboards each claim for themselves.

Platform capabilities

Causal MMM and incrementality testing built for retail and CPG

Causal marketing mix modeling for retail

Estimate cross-channel contribution from TV and CTV, paid social, retail media, search and out-of-home, with price, promotion, seasonality, distribution and competitor pressure in the model. Calibrate with experiments so the estimates hold up in a finance review.

Geo incrementality tests that capture in-store impact

Design geo experiments around your next investment decision. Estimate the store and online sales a marketing change creates, run power analysis so the test can detect the lift you care about, and use the result to calibrate your model.

Incrementality-adjusted attribution for faster reads

Get day-to-day channel and campaign signals that reflect experiment and model evidence, and avoid last-click bias that over-credits retargeting and branded search.

How it works

How retail and CPG marketing measurement works

How does media contribute across sales channels?

The method, context and review stay connected at each step.

Agree sales coverage

Scope the available store, ecommerce, marketplace and retail partner outcome series, including point-of-sale, loyalty and CRM data where you have it.

Build the business context

Include relevant media, promotions, price, distribution, competitor and seasonal factors.

Model and test

Estimate broad contribution with causal MMM, then test priority interventions with geo experiments.

Plan across teams

Simulate scenarios, then bring the evidence into retail, brand, media and finance decisions.

People + agents

Growth agents for retail teams, with your team in charge

Growth agents help surface relevant changes, develop the investigation and prepare plans or briefs. Your team defines the goal, reviews the evidence and sets the authority for supported actions.

A few useful answers

Retail and CPG measurement questions

Does Omnichannel Retail include CPG brands?

Yes. The same approach covers CPG and consumer goods brands that sell through retailers, marketplaces and their own ecommerce. The scope depends on which sales and distribution data you can bring in, and we agree it up front.

Platform dashboards report on their own channel and often claim the same sale. Lifesight measures incremental sales across channels with causal MMM, geo tests and incrementality-adjusted attribution, so you see what marketing added, not what each platform credits itself.

No. Causal MMM and geo experiments work with aggregated sales and media data, which keeps measurement privacy-first. Customer-level data can add detail where you have it, but it is not a requirement.

Yes. Store sales, point-of-sale data, promotions and price are built into the model as part of the outcome and context, and geo tests estimate the store sales a marketing change creates.

Yes, and that is why Lifesight reads every channel against one outcome frame. TV, CTV and out-of-home can lift ecommerce and marketplace sales as well as store sales, and the model estimates that contribution.

It depends on the granularity of your data. Lifesight models at the level the data supports and states the coverage limits, so you know what each result can and cannot say.

Start with the sales you can observe and agree the coverage definition. Add retail partner series as they become available, and use a geo test to answer the most important question first.

No. Many teams begin with one priority investment question, such as a geo test on a retail media or CTV change, then build toward a full model and planning workflow.

By anchoring decisions in incrementality. Experiments provide causal ground truth, MMM covers the cross-channel view, and incrementality-adjusted attribution gives faster reads that are calibrated to both.

Keep exploring.
