Happy Wednesday! Today we have MobileFuse’s CEO and Founder, Ken Harlan discussing the unique strategies marketers/brands need to undertake this year to ensure their holiday marketing efforts are a success. MobileFuse found that both historical and current data around dwell time, average distance traveled, and brand affinities provide an excellent look into which consumers live in regions where shops opened up, and which consumers are personally comfortable with physically venturing to a store. Also, as we look to move pass the COVID riddled 2020, we can’t be sure about modified consumer behaviors and what we’ll encounter in the next year and beyond. BrightEdge’s Jim Yu shares key factors marketers will want to be aware of. Research from BrightEdge into 144 ecommerce websites found that by the end of March 2020, website visits and the average revenue generated from those visits had increased over the same period in 2019. Even after the initial panic shopping spike early in the lockdown, activity leveled off and remained higher than the year prior.
