Roy Morgan Research: Online grocery shopping still niche (but not for much longer)
Like taxes, bills and bad drivers, shopping for groceries is one of life’s inevitabilities. Yet according to the latest findings from Roy Morgan Research, less than half (47.4%) of the Australian population actually enjoy grocery shopping. Which begs the question: why aren’t more people sparing themselves the angst of the supermarket and purchasing their groceries online?
Some 12.8 million Australians are their household’s main grocery-buyer, yet only 3.0% of them (389,000 people) do their supermarket shopping via the internet in an average four weeks. However, this is a substantial increase on 2011, when 169,000 grocery buyers were making their supermarket purchases this way.
Can SSL, Trust Seals and Other Security Indicators Increase Conversions?
Imagine you’re in the waiting room at the “Smiles 4 Dayz” dental office. There’s some standard elevator music playing, and everything seems pretty average.
Except that, as you’re filling out the new patient form, you notice there aren’t any dental school diplomas lining the walls of the office (not one…). Even more curious, the form lists the dentist as simply “Mrs. Liza Hoover,” not “Dr. Hoover,PhD, M.Sc.” Finally, when your name is called, the receptionist asks loudly for your social security number while others look on.
How Facebook Plans to Become THE Online Shopping Destination and Dominate eCommerce
On Facebook we’ve seen that people are coming to our platform not only to connect with friends and family but also with products and brands. In fact, a survey suggested that nearly half of people come to Facebook to actively look for products, with a majority of them discovering new products in News Feed, Pages, and Groups.”
So begins the latest pitch from Zuckerberg and Co., this time focused on showcasing improvements to the on-platform buying process for Facebook users. The gist of Facebook’s push is familiar – more people are using mobile phones to connect with brands, yet often brand mobile experiences are frustrating, as many businesses haven't yet been able to optimize their mobile shopping experience. But Facebook has, their mobile offerings work faster and are more in-tune with rising user expectations than most. So why not use Facebook as your hub for your online business efforts? I mean, everybody’s already on Facebook anyway, right?
Facebook Continues E-Commerce Push With Shopping Tab
This week, Facebook quietly rolled out new e-commerce capabilities on the platform.
Now when scrolling profiles, you'll be able to see a section filled with product listings entirely separate of the news feed. The shoppable lists are completely customized for users, depending on what their interests and likes are from past activity on Facebook.FastCompany reports that initially access will only be available to a small group of retailers.
The 3 steps of email retargeting
Media is the major expense B2C marketers face when acquiring new customers and building email lists. For most, much of that media investment is wasted when they take the low-hanging fruit, aka immediate conversions, without properly retargeting the "rest of the media" until it converts.
In short: you've made the media buy and converted a few leads to customers, but the ROI is shaky. That changes when you retarget with email.
