Measurement over Attribution
Understand the overall customer journey and optimise for the majority. Do this rather than focusing over precise attribution. Aim to create a system that guides customers towards conversion rather than strive for perfect attribution.
Build a Robust Measurement Tech Stack
Invest in a technology stack that lets you do three things:
- Ensures your data is sent to relevant platforms
- Aggregates data from various sources
- Allows you to compare and analyze metrics from different platforms
This will provide a comprehensive view of your customer’s behavior and help you make data-driven decisions.
Strategic Planning and Execution
Identify what you want to achieve with your measurement efforts. Develop a plan for how you will use data to inform your decisions and take action. Invest in your measurement systems, including technology and personnel. Regularly review and refine your measurement strategy based on insights and evolving business needs.

BFCM Alert: Is Your Data Pixel Ready? Use Aimerce to improve your data quality and be your Marketing’s Secret Weapon.
Did you know that third-party cookie deprecation and iOS changes have slashed your retargeting audience by 40%? Aimerce extends data tracking from 7 days to a full year, automatically enhancing your Klaviyo flows and ad signals. The result? 20% more Klaviyo flow revenue and 40% more ad signals across Meta and Google—with zero extra effort.
Growing up, my family ran a silk business, and I experienced the struggles of small businesses firsthand. Over the past decade, I worked as an engineer at Meta and Reddit. I noticed that smaller businesses often missed growth opportunities due to a lack of information. That’s why I decided to start Aimerce.
Picture this: BFCM brings a surge of site traffic, but most visitors leave without buying. Over half use Safari, where 7-day cookie expiration means lost opportunities. The result? No abandoned cart emails, Meta Ads failing to target relevant profiles, and unconverted purchases. Your marketing performance is only as good as your data tracking. Shopify–Meta CAPI lacks advanced features to enrich and extend your visitor data, leaving your Meta Ads algorithm undertrained. This leads to lower ROAS and stunted growth. Don’t let basic integrations limit your true marketing ROI.
Join top brands like Blueprint, Vivaia, Fanka, Bluejay Bike, Stündenglass, and Kiki De Montparnasse to gain 60%+ more tracked customer profiles and a 40% revenue boost in Klaviyo, Meta, and Google Ads—all in the first month. Visit aimerce.ai and sign up for a 30-day free trial.
