Common mistakes with Quick Commerce
- 1
Allocating budget by historical performance instead of incremental lift. Holdout tests show many "winning" channels are stealing credit.
- 2
Mixing brand and performance metrics in one report. Each needs its own lens and target.
- 3
Treating organic and paid as separate. Brand search lift drives paid CPC down, they compound.
How to improve Quick Commerce
Run quarterly channel mix reviews using incrementality data, not last-click. Reallocate based on incremental lift.
Build a portfolio approach: 1-2 mature channels at scale, 1-2 in optimization, 1-2 experimental. No more, no less.
Measure brand vs performance separately with separate budgets and separate KPIs. Mixing them produces fuzzy decisions.
