MOBILE MARKETING NEWS


Lack of TV-mobile ad integration will cost brands as holiday shopping begins

Marketers are unsure how to integrate television and mobile to engage multitasking consumers, a deficiency that could result in missed purchasing opportunities as the crucial holiday selling season ramps up.

Of 100 different U.S. TV advertisers studied in September by cross-screen advertising company wywy, just one in five showed a clearly visible product on the homepage of its Web site and just 17 percent prominently displayed the product on the mobile version of the homepage. With more consumers simultaneously consuming TV and mobile content, marketers who fail to take an omni-channel marketing approach risk harming holiday sales.

“The TV advertisers know that there is a massive change going on,” said Andreas Schroeter, wywy co-founder and COO. “Multi-tasking is the new normal, shopping on a mobile device the norm.

“Advertisers shouldn’t see TV, mobile and online as separate,” he said. Integrating campaigns is necessary. But they are unsure about how to respond to that change.”

“Advertisers need seamless story-telling,” Mr. Schroeter said. “Show the product on mobile devices that is advertised on TV. Then measure impact on your website KPIs. Then optimize your TV campaigns accordingly.”
