Facebook's Incredible Potential as an Offline Retail Tool | DigitalNext: A Blog on Emer... - 0 views

  •  
    "Several companies have successfully built cooperative marketing structures online. Companies such as OwnerIQ, for example, enable online retailers like Crutchfield to retarget people who visit the web sites of electronics manufacturers, offering the flatscreen TVs they were just studying - at a discount. When it comes to driving brick-and-mortar sales from online, though, Facebook appears to offer the best solution yet. CPG brands gladly pay for retail circulars to help sell their products, and there's reason to believe they could buy Facebook advertising to drive consumers into retail locations. One company with which we work, ShopLocal, puts a retailer's circular content into a database, including images and all the sale prices and details. In so doing it makes local data portable and extendable, so retailers can build online-only pages of the circular, or utilize QR codes to generate more content than exists in the print world."

40% of Brands Using DMPs But Emphasize Internal Data | ClickZ - 0 views

  •  
    ""DMPs were initially built to inform display, but more and more marketers understand they have to utilize that data across channels. They're all interested in finding ways to leverage those insights in all the different ways they speak to a consumer," said Cory Treffiletti, senior vice president of marketing for BlueKai. Nevertheless, 64 percent said improved ROI was a main driver for use of a DMP, and 60 percent said the technology would help the company to more effectively centralize, organize and leverage first-party, online and offline audience data for targeting, whether that first-party data was internal or a client's."

Could Atlas Make Facebook a Media Powerhouse? | ClickZ - 0 views

    ""If you think about the unique identifier - the cookie - it's just a way to identify a browser and then have the smarts behind it to serve a particular ad. If you have Open Graph data from Facebook, you would have to work through issues with personally identifying information, but you are essentially adding some behavioral data, which is what they are doing on their own site now. I don't know how far they could extend that, but there is a big push in the industry to start to utilize more sources of data for more specific targeting.""

Time Spent With Mobile Apps Rivals TV - eMarketer - 1 views

  •  
    "Flurry stacked up time spent with mobile apps next to the web and TV. Although it didn't take into account multitasking-which research shows is very common among mobile app users-Flurry findings indicated that US consumers spent more time in apps than on the web. And their time spent with mobile apps (127 minutes) was nipping at the heels of their time spent watching TV (168 minutes). Flurry broke down mobile app usage into categories, and found that mobile gaming led the charge, accounting for 43% of the time spent with mobile apps worldwide. Social networking came in second, accounting for 26% of consumers' time, and entertainment and utility followed, each with 10%."

MediaPost Publications Apps Forecast To Lose Momentum 07/26/2012 - 0 views

  •  
    "News and magazine apps are a segment where the momentum is likely to shift towards the Web within the next two to three years," noted senior analyst Aapo Markkanen. "Since news and media content already account for a large share of smartphone usage and are likely to play an even bigger role in later adopters' usage, changes in this segment alone will make subscribers on average download fewer native apps." The next wave of smartphone owners in mature markets like the U.S., Western Europe and Asia will download fewer apps than the first one-third of mobile consumers who bought smartphones, according to the report on mobile app storefronts. At the same time, ABI expects that in the games and utilities categories, the mobile Web will probably never catch up with native apps, due to the difficulty in matching the user experience. ABI's outlook on the future of apps appears at odds with a separate report released Tuesday by Strategy Analytics, which maintains that the emergence of HTML5 won't put much of a dent in the app economy. Instead, it predicts the Web programming language will lead to the spread of hybrid apps that combine HTML5 with native APIs (application programming interface) to harness the best of native and open standards.
