Shopper Marketing: Around And Around We Go

Shopper marketing used to be about guiding the consumer along the last few steps on the path to purchase. But today that path is more loop than funnel – and shopper marketers are going beyond in-store tactics by embracing digital and mobil to build ongoing bonds with consumers.

Here's Why Google and Facebook Might Completely Disappear in the Next 5 Years
www.forbes.com
Social companies born since 2010 have a very different view of the world. These companies – and Instagram is the most topical example at the moment – view the mobile smartphone as the primary (and oftentimes exclusive) platform for their application. They don’t even think of launching via a web site. They assume, over time, people will use their mobile applications almost entirely instead of websites.
We will never have Web 3.0, because the Web’s dead.

Smile And The World Smiles With You

This approach to connecting with women might very well be coined “Smile Marketing.” Humor that is story-driven, versus joke-driven, is a powerful tool in connecting with busy women. Anything that causes a mouth to form a smile at any point throughout the day is a good thing. It also creates a memorable moment. Advertising that invokes an involuntary smile is smart without being too obvious and in-your-face.

How ironic, then, that when it comes to pitching for advertising dollars, being somewhat old-school appears to be the formula to win over marketers budgets."
