Purchase Intent Increases 72% with TV, Smartphone and Tablet Platforms: Study
from Mobile Commerce Daily
Not only are consumers watching television on multiple screens, they are also more likely to make a purchase and remember a brand when an ad is served across TVs, tablets and smartphones, according to a new study from the Nielsen Co.
Nielsen worked with mobile video company AdColony and ad agency Ignited to conduct the "CrossPlatform Video Ad Effectiveness" study, which looked at how consumers interact with second and third screen-advertising while watching TV.
7 Digital Marketing Tactics That Boost Offline Sales
from iMedia Connection
It's clear that digital marketing is influencing offline purchasing behavior more than ever. In fact, 89 percent of consumers who buy in key retail categories in-store have conducted online research prior to purchase (Google, 2010), and offline sales influenced by online research are expected to top 1 trillion dollars in 2012 (Jupiter Research, 2007). To capitalize on consumers' new inclination to research online before purchasing offline, marketers need to go beyond awareness and direct response campaigns, and start influencing the purchase decision-making process.
