Shopper trends – cross device usage Task: How do you shop now! • What devices • What tools • Where did you start searching • Where did you finish purchase
Shopper trends – cross device usage • CASE STUDY • Reebok experienced 131% lift in brand response conversions once it began promoting its RealFlex running shoes with video across all digital screens: PCs, mobile phones and tablets. • The Adidas “All-In” campaign generated more than 2 million views by adapting the videos to engage viewers on PCs, smartphones and tablets.
How to grab users when decide to buy ✔ Add click-to-call. Many ad networks (AdWords, Yahoo,…) offer function, where your phone number appears as a clickable link right in the ad. That makes it simple for your shoppers to take action. ✔ Look at mobile video ads. Mobile and video are both exploding worldwide. Put them together for a double brand punch. ✔ Advertise in mobile apps, especially if you’re trying to get users to download an app. There are special networks that make this easy, including Google’s own AdMob. ✔ Add reminders and alerts. Find new ways to signal to shoppers — by email or by alerts after they sign in — that they may have left something in their cart or shopping bag from a previous visit.
