The E-Commerce & DTC context

What performance analytics means for e-commerce & dtc companies

E-commerce marketing in 2026 is shaped by post-iOS 14.5 attribution challenges, rising acquisition costs, and the increasing importance of retention economics. Brands competing only on paid acquisition without retention infrastructure don't survive.

Empire325's measurement practice delivers marketing mix modeling (MMM), incrementality experiments, and conversion-lift studies. We answer the question CFOs actually ask: which marketing dollars are driving revenue, and which would we be fine without.

E-Commerce & DTC buyers in 2026 expect performance analytics programs grounded in their actual operating context — not generic agency frameworks. Empire325 invests upfront discovery time mapping the specific competitive dynamics, buyer journeys, sales cycles, and reporting cadences of e-commerce & dtc companies before designing program architecture. The result is a program that drops into your existing operations rather than fighting them.

For the canonical industry framing, see Baymard Institute — Empire325 references that source-of-truth when building the measurement, attribution, and compliance baseline for every e-commerce & dtc performance analytics engagement.
