Pain Points
Data silos, unclear LTV, inefficient acquisition

As customer journeys grew more complex and competition intensified, PetMeds struggled to identify which channels were acquiring customers likely to return and subscribe.

By implementing Northbeam, PetMeds unified its marketing data, gained first-party attribution clarity, and refocused spend on the channels that drove sustainable growth.

“Northbeam has been instrumental in making sure we find and recruit high-value customers who are likely to repurchase.”

The PROBLEM

Data Silos Obscured Customer Value

PetMeds relied on multiple disconnected tools, resulting in fragmented and unreliable performance data.

Blended metrics made it difficult to distinguish first-time from returning customers, limiting insight into lifetime value and retention drivers.

Without clarity, the team overspent on some channels while missing opportunities to acquire higher-value customers.

The solution

Turning Unified Data into Sustainable Growth

PetMeds implemented Northbeam to centralize attribution across channels using first-party data and a Clicks-Only attribution model.

By comparing CAC, revenue, and ROAS by channel and customer type, the team identified Google as a key acquisition driver—accounting for 36% of new customer purchases—and scaled investment accordingly.

Customer Type reporting also revealed which campaigns drove strong repeat and subscription behavior.
