I'll be celebrating Halloween with my kids tonight - or they certainly will be 🎃 as they race door-to-door with friends in our south Hackney, London neighbourhood near Victoria Park to collect heaps of sugary sweets and other winning prizes...and I try to keep up 😅.
Now, think of this - retail's biggest and most important period of the year, kicking off with Black Friday on the 29th of November, really is a lot like tonight's playful Trick or Treating.
The prize for retailers and brands can be very sweet indeed.
As a guide, take look at the mammoth opportunity for US mobile commerce alone.
For startups to large enterprises, MeasureMatch is the marketplace platform connecting business leaders with amazing consulting and professional services partners.
But, when marketing, commerce, customer experience and related software systems, not to mention essential analytics capabilities, aren't optimally stress-tested and deployed, configured and integrated for the coming marketing, media and retail sales blitz, then the size of the prize just might pale in comparison to the bounty my kids (and yours) will be carefully counting on the dining room table tonight.
Sales and customer comms systems like Salesforce CRM, Pipedrive, Marketo, Hubspot, Intercom, and data collection toolsets like Google Tag Manager, Segment, Tealium, Improvado or mParticle, plus analytics solutions like Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, Mixpanel, FullStory, Decibel, Amplitude, or reporting products using Domo, Datorama, Power BI, Google Data Studio and 1,000s of related SaaS systems - well, they all require careful, expert handling, precise tuning, extra custom configurations and more to extract real, substantive value. Especially during the holidays.
This is not a time for risk-taking.
One of our first customers, Kano, turned to the MeasureMatch professional services marketplace just weeks before Black Friday to address critically important data collection and reporting challenges across several Shopify stores and marketing campaigns. Here's the Kano case study.
This stuff above might ring some bells, but let's see if we can really be helpful.

Investors regularly ask “scale” questions. They annoy me. Yes, the questions and, often, the investors.
