Mathwin: mobile first marketing is delivering but data and privacy remain big issues
Andrew Mathwin senior marketing, digital and omni-channel manager at Spotlight Retail Group, said digital marketing, and social media marketing in particular, is driving in-store and online sales for the company, which is dedicated to “engaging the consumer in a tailored experience”.
Mobile marketing and advertising gives businesses the opportunity to be able to “connect all the dots” and allow for companies to make big decisions based on the results, said Mathwin, who made up one of four mobile marketing specialists on the The Next Wave of Marketing panel at the Retail Marketing Summit.
Data certainly is a challenge…..if your going to say social media marketing is driving sales at Spotless present some data to back it up.
Sure Fraser. The Facebook campaign for Halloween at Spotlight we ran people through at the conference showed by adding social to the overall marketing mix it delivered an increase in transaction dollars of 13.9% (instore & online) with a Return on Ad Spend of 21 times. To achieve this result all content delivered to our customers was tailored to each individual based their previous interactions with us. I hope this answers your question.
