MarTech Quote-of-the-Week!

It’s particularly important for marketplace sellers to keep their inventory in sync across channels so that they don’t accidentally violate terms with the marketplaces by overselling a product. Bringing all orders together in one place and enables efficient fulfillment and helps sellers more easily stay in compliance with customer delivery timing requirements. But this becomes especially important when it comes to maintaining compliance and not being over or undercharged for sales taxes.

 MarTech QnA with the Expert

People buy based on emotions and then they justify their decisions via rational means. Marketers must win hearts and minds. Given this and the fact that customers are doing most of their research on their own, it means marketing attribution is becoming more and more elusive. In the end, we need enough attribution to know what is working and what is not, while at the same time we need to trust our intuitions and make bets on what we know is valuable but cannot be properly measured. –Gerardo Dada, Chief Marketing Officer at Catchpoint
