SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 01/22/15 — , the leading mobile audience intelligence company, today released its consumer packaged goods (CPG) “Mobile Audience Insights Report,” which reveals how mobile is increasingly influencing all stages along the shopper–s path-to-purchase. The research examines how mobile usage and marketing is transforming how shoppers interact with CPG brands — from research to in-store, as well as mobile–s role with coupons, grocery apps and online grocery shopping. One of the most significant findings is the increased influence of mobile advertising, with 70 percent of consumers trying a new product as a direct result of seeing a mobile ad.
CPG brands now have more opportunities to influence shoppers on their mobile devices during product discovery, preparing for their shopping trip and while in-store. As shown by the findings, 68 percent of consumers use their mobile device to discover a CPG brand or product prior to shopping, while 86 percent use their mobile device to prepare for their grocery shopping, and 59 percent use their mobile device while grocery shopping.
Mobile ads have also proven more effective in 2014, driving a 75 percent lift in store visits compared to the control audience that did not see the ad, a 36 percent lift over 2013 drive-to-retail campaigns.
“Consumers increasing use of their mobile devices throughout their path-to-purchase offers CPG brands an enormous opportunity to influence shoppers at every step of their purchase lifecycle,” said David Staas, president of NinthDecimal. “Our latest report provides the market with new data around how consumers rely on mobile devices, from research and consideration to creating their shopping list, and ultimately purchases.”
