Introducing the quick-flip guide to online advertising in retail

Did you know 90% of US retail sales still take place in brick-and-mortar stores? While online shopping has by no means put established brick-and-mortar retailers out of business, the retail industry has changed.

One shift that really needs your attention is the evolving way people research – online. From initial searching, to discovery, to deciding on a particular brand or product, consumers globally prefer the ease and speed that the internet affords them. One study found that 88% of consumers pre-research their buys on the web before making a purchase either in-store or online.

And when it comes to social media, the statistics are also very powerful. In a 2017 PwC global report, online buyers cited social networks as the digital media most used for purchase inspiration. And not only do people conduct product and brand research on social media, they also associate it with a higher level of trust compared to other online channels
