eMarketer: Online shoppers want recommendations and act on them but complain about relevance

Online shoppers notice product recommendations more and more and have almost come to expect them which is great news. However, it seems that marketers are not actually doing a good job when it comes to relevance of the recommendations. Especially interesting is the fact that most don't seem to use internal and external searches as additional targeting parameters.


Different forms of targeting can significantly improve your media return on investment but it needs a solid strategy and technology platform. 

Check out our earlier blog post on direct marketing in the digital age and the power of effective targeting strategies if you want to find out more about the subject or email Chris at cbartens@datalicious.com

eMarketer: What Twitter marketing tactics are working?

Good to see some stats on this but no surprise. Social media is all about being up close and personal so it's all about providing special things that are not available to everyone and talking to individuals (I should shut up, we haven't done either yet actually).

eMarketer: online shoppers want human help

Human support for online shoppers can be delivered quite cost effectively if you set some clear parameters around what visitors to offer the support to, i.e. use web analytics and site/campaign behavior to decide who are the high value prospects and show them additional support options or even proactively start an online chat with them. Email Chris at cbartens@datalicious.com if you'd like to know more.
