NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fluent, LLC, an IDI company (NYSE MKT:IDI) and an industry leader in people-based digital marketing and customer acquisition, today released a new research report entitled, “The Omnichannel Advantage”. The report covers how retailers are reaching consumers through online and offline advertising channels, the impact of omnichannel marketing in driving sales, and which marketing channels are most effective at driving sales when paired with email marketing.
Fluent’s research, based on a survey of 1,802 American adults conducted on May 7, 2016, found that:
- More established marketing channels continue to have the widest reach. About 4 in 10 Americans report seeing television, print and online ads from their favorite retailer in the past month. The majority of digital marketing channels are closing the gap, however, with about 3 in 10 Americans reporting engaging with mobile notifications, email newsletters, mobile shopping apps, Facebook, and online videos from their favorite retailer.
- Broad-based channel interactions translate into more sales. Nearly two-thirds (62%) of consumers who are reached by their favorite retailer across over 10 channels or more make in-person purchases at least once per week. That number drops to 41% of those who are reached by 5 – 9 channels, and 40% of those who are reached across 1 – 4 channels.
- Email pairs best with social media. Email newsletters drive more frequent purchases when paired with social media channels compared to any other medium. 56% of consumers who sign up for their favorite retailer’s email newsletters and also follow or like them on Facebook shop with them once a week or more, compared to 48% of those who sign up for email and also see online display ads.
“Omnichannel continues to be one of the hottest topics in consumer marketing, and our survey findings demonstrate that the hype is well justified,” said Matt Conlin, President of Fluent. “Well-orchestrated customer journeys across multiple channels are driving increased consumer engagement with brands and higher sales.”
