Centro’s experience driving more than 1,800 campaigns for more than 430 retailers and their agencies demonstrates that it can meet the goals for any type of retail campaign, especially for the holiday season.
Consumers are now using a variety of technology to influence their path-to-purchase. Among shoppers, 58% plan to spend more with multi-channel (online, in-store, mobile, etc.) retailers, according to a PwC study. Plus, mobile devices like tablets and smartphones are having a massive effect on the purchase cycle. Mobile devices are expected to drive 10% of this upcoming holiday season revenue, according to a Retail TouchPoints report.
“Nearly all shoppers will increase their use of technology this holiday season. It is important for advertisers to understand how to leverage different mediums and formats to drive consumers through the buying cycle,” said Scott Neslund, EVP of Media Services at Centro. “At Centro, we have the rich intelligence and deep experience to help retailers and their agencies create compelling digital campaigns that meet their online and offline sales objectives.”
In a six-month campaign for a furniture retailer this year, Centro helped increase brand awareness and drive both e-commerce and in-store traffic. Using a combination of mobile, display and performance-based ads, the campaign outperformed industry benchmarks. Here are some highlights:
Centro utilizes a three-step methodology to help agencies and their clients execute digital media campaigns flawlessly. It starts with an audience evaluation to precisely define target segments. Centro taps its proprietary database with information from 22,000 campaigns to map the digital channel properties that best meet campaign objectives.
