Target partnerships or capabilities in CTV measurement, QR-led attribution and mobile conversion optimization as fashion advertisers seek a more connected path from television exposure to purchase.

What to watch

  • QR scan-to-session and scan-to-purchase conversion rates by creative format and screen placement.
  • Growth in deep-link, universal-link and clean-room integrations among CTV platforms, OEMs and fashion advertisers.
  • Share of CTV campaigns optimized to site visits, app installs or sales lift rather than completed views.
  • Whether CTV platforms offer credible cross-device identity resolution and independently verified incrementality studies.
  • Changes in CTV CPMs relative to paid social, retail media and online video.
  • Evidence that CTV-acquired shoppers have higher repeat rates, store visits or average order value than other acquisition cohorts.
  • Build QR-to-deep-link flows that preserve campaign, creative and audience identifiers through app or mobile-web checkout.
  • Measure incrementality through geo tests, holdout audiences and matched-market studies instead of relying only on last-touch QR attribution.
  • Create CTV-specific creative with short value propositions, visible QR codes and mobile-exclusive offers rather than repurposing TV films.
  • Connect CTV exposure data to CRM, loyalty and retail-store visit signals to quantify repeat purchase and omnichannel lift.
  • Negotiate outcome-based CTV buying around qualified site sessions, app registrations and new-customer cohorts.
