How can Deep Learning boost own-site sales for electronics brands?

1. There are a number of challenges that electronics brands face when encouraging customers to use own-site channels.
2. The first is the popularity of comparison sites, that typically push customers into a “price-first” mindset.
3. The second is the fact that telecoms providers typically provide a phone as part of their subscription contract.
4. This means that electronics manufacturers are forced to take a loss paying a commission to third-party sales platforms, when they could increase their margins through sites they own and operate.
5. To promote own-site sales, electronics manufacturers must showcase the benefits of a direct purchase, including improved warranties and customer support.

Google has released an article announcing the availability of Bidding and Auction services in the web version of FLEDGE, as well as the status on pending FLEDGE capabilities. These two Google releases could have a major impact on the adoption of FLEDGE in the near future.

As a leading buy-side platform, RTB House has been involved in the development of the Privacy Sandbox ever since its announcement. Being highly experienced in retargeting, we put particular emphasis on FLEDGE. This proposal has been in preparation for years now and has been available for testing in Chrome since April 2022.

We already shared our initial findings from the experiments in a previous article. It covered the availability of the elements for testing, our setups, and the initial results.

In this article, we would like to provide an update on the status of both the market and RTB House as of the end of January, give more insights and results, and share our perspective on the future testing and implementation phases.
