Prove new-customer value when finance questions Performance+ results

You’re the product manager. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 15, 2026.

New-customer proof competes with the limits of the signals used to produce it.

Advertisers need an answer for finance, while measurement must not turn modeled outcomes into certainty.

Who you’d be doing this for

“Finance asked how many of these were genuinely new buyers, and I had nothing clean to show them.”

Somin Sun · Performance Marketing Director

Runs Performance+ budgets for a retail advertiser and must defend channel investment to finance.

What is at stake

Performance marketers cannot turn healthy conversion totals into a credible new-customer answer for finance. You must weigh a useful budget-review view against what the available signals can honestly support.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • budget confidence vs. measurement certainty
  • broad eligibility vs. signal quality
  • clear explanation vs. methodological nuance
  • existing tooling vs. durable measurement surface

Why Pinterest

Performance+ advertisers need credible measurement to move Pinterest Ads beyond test-level budgets.
