PORTLAND, OR — (Marketwire) — 02/26/13 — , the company that is transforming how brands market their products to today-s social + mobile consumers, announced today significant customer growth among market-leading brands with new clients including Whole Foods, GoPro, Sony Music, and Lenovo. Strong year over year customer growth was reflected in ShopIgniter-s annual revenue growth of over 170 percent.
ShopIgniter also announced today its market strategy for 2013, which will focus on its enterprise platform that enables marketers to create, manage and measure rich interactive campaigns in social streams. With Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and other social media streams becoming richer and richer, consumers are spending more and more of their time here. In fact, 20 percent of desktop time and 30 percent of mobile time is spent social networking. Moreover, Facebook research indicates that Newsfeed advertising is 16 times more effective on the desktop than traditional right rail advertising. And on mobile, where there-s no banner or right rail advertising, performance is astoundingly high. Including a photo, video, or interactive post further increases engagement by 100 to 200 percent.
When coupled with rich media posts that combine video, photography and a short lead generation form, for example, the impact and effectiveness of these efforts is remarkable. For example, when one of the world-s largest retailers wanted to promote an exclusive offer during the Grammy-s, they looked to ShopIgniter. Its rich media posting campaign on Facebook generated over 10,000 likes, 500 comments and 25,000 video views, within just 48 hours of a single post. The business benefit: 46,000 total engagement actions, 27,000 video views and over 1,000 unit pre-orders.
“2012 was a superior year for ShopIgniter and our customers. In 2013, we will continue to deliver innovations and results in the field of social content marketing. Our 2013 roadmap is focused on providing technology that helps leading brands effectively reach and convert their social+mobile consumers directly in social streams,” said , ShopIgniter CEO. “Marketing in social streams will replace traditional banners as the primary digital display advertising vehicle for consumer brands within a couple years. From a consumer-s perspective, this is obvious. Nobody engages with banners. Everyone engages with their social streams. And, ShopIgniter will be the platform of choice for delivering, managing and measuring campaigns in these streams.”
