How to be the Best at Drive-to-Store Advertising

MATHEW BROUGHTON | December 10, 2019 | 244 views

In this exclusive article penned for ExchangeWire, Elodie Lachuer (pictured below), VP global product marketing at S4M, discusses how brand marketers can effectively establish and manage campaigns for increasing store visits. With Christmas less than a month away, the scramble to buy the perfect gift is on. Last year, the UK was the highest spending market in Europe, with a huge £567 on average per person dedicated to Christmas shopping. This year, a majority of shoppers is expected to spend the same, if not more. And while 17% of those have a £500 budget, another 13% say they’re ready to buy if they find the right gift, regardless of price. To get their bite of the apple, brands are doing their best to attract Christmas shoppers to stores. And today, they do so increasingly through drive-to-store advertising.

LQ Digital

As consumers become increasingly mobile and connected, every business is turning to digital channels to acquire new customers more effectively and efficiently. Of the $83 billion spent on digital this year, Google and Facebook account for 60 cents of every dollar. The result? Massive investment, overabundant data and rising expectations for better results. Here's the problem. The lead process is wasteful. For every 6% in conversion success, 94% goes nowhere. Ads on the wrong channel, messaging that doesn't land, and potential leads that lack consistent follow-up if any at all.

Google’s and Facebook’s Grip on Digital Advertising Markets

Article | July 20, 2022

Since July 2019, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority has been conducting an extensive investigation of the digital advertising market. In its preliminary report on the investigation, the CMA expresses concerns that Google and Facebook have grown so “large and have such extensive access to data that potential rivals can no longer compete on equal terms.” 2019 marked the year in which digital advertising finally took the crown from TV and other legacy media both in the US and worldwide. Estimates point out that digital ads now account for 51 percent of the almost $600 billion spent globally on advertising, a percentage that should only rise with time.

Alex Webb: More kids with smartphones spells advertising bonanza

Article | July 14, 2022

The revelation that, by the age of seven, 53% of British kids will own a mobile phone, will come as good news to one group in particular: advertisers. By the time U.K. youngsters are 11, the ownership ratio reaches a whopping 90%, according to a report published last week by the research consultancy Childwise. And as the penetration of smartphone usage rises, it creates more opportunity for advertisers to get in front of young eyeballs. Parents need to get clued up if they want to stop that from happening. For now, advertising targeted at children has been slower to migrate online than in the broader industry. Whereas more than half of the world's $614 billion of ad spending is now online, less than a third of the outlay for ads targeting children is digital, according to a 2019 study by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
