Why should weather be included in MMM?
Weather doesn’t just decide whether we grab an umbrella or throw on a pair of sunglasses—it shapes how we shop. From surprise cold snaps to scorching summer heatwaves, weather has the power to instantly sway consumer behavior, either fueling demand or putting it on ice across industries like fashion and grocery retail. Traditionally, Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) zeroes in on the message (what you're advertising) and the channels (where you're advertising). But often overlooked are the external forces, like weather, that can make or break marketing performance.
