    shopper
    connected, savvy and actively
    seeking choice, convenience
    and value for their doll ar.

    Success in the digital shopping environment requires a deep
    understanding of shopper needs, how a product category gets shopped
    and the ability to cost effectively deliver a product to the consumer.

    The digital revolution has transformed industries like music, books and
    travel almost entirely because e-commerce solutions delivered shopper
    needs in ways that traditional channels couldn’t match. Gone are the days
    where we had to buy an entire album because of a particular track. With
    iTunes, it is so much easier and economical to customize a personal music
    library and deliver it digitally. It is much more convenient to visit travel
    sites like Expedia or Travelocity to research, compare and make purchases,
    rather than visiting a travel agency. In publishing, Amazon’s endless book
    selections, authentic reader reviews, personalized book recommendations
    and e-book options are hard for brick-and-mortar bookstores to match.
    Amazon’s edge in giving shoppers tailored and relevant choices as well as
    highly competitive prices has forced traditional booksellers like Borders
    to close, and has set Amazon on pace to own more than half of the books
    business in the United States across all formats by the end of 2012.i

    So are consumer packaged goods (CPG) next in line? Is technology a
    friend or a foe to retailing in CPG? What does it take for CPG marketers
    to be shopper centric in a digital world? This paper provides a thorough
    assessment of the impact of digital on the CPG industry, and outlines key
    principles for marketing success in a world where digital is a new normal.

    While we acknowledge that both shopper understanding and economic
    considerations dictate success in the digital world, this paper focuses
    primarily on the former: the shopper, their category needs and the digital
    touchpoints that influence their behavior.

                 Fundamental truths
                 about shopping

                 Digital technology is widely pervasive today and will only continue to grow
                 at a rapid pace into the future. Over 274 million Americans have access
                 to the Internet. ii As of March 2012, 117 million people had smartphones,iii
                 and approximately 80 percent of them were using smartphones for
                 shopping activities like finding stores, making lists, checking prices,
                 researching products, sharing content and purchasing.iv

                 Amidst these activities, people continue to want to satisfy three
                 fundamental needs when they shop: convenience, choice and value for
                 their money. Convenience is the ability to deliver a shopping solution
                 that requires less time and effort. Choice is simply more variety to cater
                 to a broader set of consumer needs. Price-value is the level of quality
                 delivered at a certain price point. For nearly two centuries now, retail
                 formats have evolved to better address these needs.

    While e-commerce may not account for a dominant share of CPG sales
    today, it is still the fastest growing retail channel. Less than four percent of
    people in America buy CPG products online in any given monthii, but we
    project e-commerce to grow at a 25 percent annual rate through 2015 and
    more than double its current share of total CPG sales.

Here’s an interesting fact: the mix of product sales in e-commerce
       is 60 percent non-food to 40 percent food, the exact reverse
       of the CPG picture in total, which is 60 percent food and 40
       percent non-food. Looking ahead, we expect that the acceleration
       will greatly differ by product category. If CPG marketers want to
       influence shopper’s decisions on where to buy, the reality is that
       category matters.

       Some categories are better candidates for selling online than others.
       Categories in the lead are diapers, diet aids, vitamins and skin care
       with online sales significantly above the average for CPG products.
       Many of these categories are relatively expensive non-food products
       with a steady usage rate. In contrast, categories like carbonated
       beverages, dairy, liquor, beer, produce and frozen food have a very
       small proportion of sales online. These categories encounter physical
       barriers to e-commerce due to factors like refrigeration, perishable
       concerns and weight that are cost-prohibitive for shipping.

       In Q2 2012, Nielsen conducted extensive research across 36,000
       shoppers of CPG products spanning 18 categories, including both
       food and non-food items. Based on this research and analysis of
       online purchase data, we identified two barriers and two enablers
       that translate into convenience, price-value and choice for a
       shopper, and collectively determine how successful a category can
       be in e-commerce.

Barriers and Enablers
    to E-Commerce

    Urgency Barrier


    Some categories face a pronounced urgency barrier, the                                seeking CONVENIENCE
    overwhelming shopper desire to buy and use at once, without waiting
    to have the product delivered. For confections, the consumption                       urgent needs
    need is often immediate. Convenience can be paramount and the                         immediate consumption
    nearest store suffices for that shopper mission.                                      low delay tolerance



    Inspection Barrier



    This barrier is especially relevant to perishable food such as fresh
                                                                                          seeking choice
    produce and food requiring refrigeration. Concerns about spoilage
    can discourage online purchasing because they negatively affect the                   check quality in store
    product value proposition if items get discarded. The need to inspect                 difficult to return
    certain products drives people to a store and they tend to buy                        sensory product choice
    other products that they need while they are there. Therefore the                     (e.g. smell)
    inspection barrier has a secondary effect on the entire basket.


    Stock-Up Enabler


    Products with predictable consumption rates and a long shelf life
    such as diapers or dog food lend themselves to online purchasing
    programs such as Amazon’s Subscribe and Save. Shoppers enrolled                       seeking CONVENIENCE
    in such programs are automatically shipped specific products
    on a periodic basis, and also provided with other incentives such                     steady use-up rate
    as preferred customer discounts, coupons and new product                              willing to stock up
    information. Meanwhile, retailers and manufacturers enjoy the
    ancillary benefit of building brand loyalty via these automatic
    replenishment systems.


    Price Enabler



    As for price factors, online retailers enjoy several cost advantages                  seeking price-value
    over brick-and-mortar operations, particularly related to overhead.
    Lower costs of doing business often convert directly into lower                       high price to weight ratio
    consumer prices or steeper discounts for digital shoppers, which                      (low shipping costs)
    allows marketers to retain price sensitive shoppers in a more
    profitable way. Considerations affecting the digital investment                       product margin
    decision for retailers include how online delivery charges and overall                (room for discounting)
    pricing align with offline retail alternatives.

Keeping the barriers and enablers in mind, we expect personal care
                                categories like vitamins, skin, hair, feminine and baby care; pantry staples
                                like coffee and cereal; and paper products like bath tissue and kitchen
                                towels to win in e-commerce if manufacturers and retailers collaborate
                                to deliver price-value, choice and convenience. Conversely, e-commerce
                                growth in snacks, frozen foods, condiments and beverage will be relatively
                                slow.


                                It is clear that consumers
                                are beginning to embrace the
                                idea of buying some packaged
                                goods online.
                                In response, brick-and-mortar retailers, who were skeptical of
                                e-commerce, are increasingly making it a strategic goal. Savvy retailers are
                                expanding their online offerings and experimenting with new ordering and
                                delivery options. They are developing strategies to cater to shoppers that
                                don’t have time to make grocery trips, or prefer to avoid long checkout
                                lines or crowded parking lots. For example, some retailers are allowing
                                shoppers to order online or from an app on a connected device and pick
                                up the products in-store at a convenient time. Others are including
                                ‘did you forget’ style reminders for online shoppers to promote cross-
                                merchandising and build baskets, while performing a service for customers.

                                Walmart, for instance, stands at the forefront of a vanguard of progressive
                                retailers actively addressing the digital shopping opportunity. The retailing
                                giant is leveraging the advantages of being a multi-channel player,
                                enhancing the benefits of physical store locations with those of the digital
                                environment, and integrating efforts across e-commerce, mobile and
                                in-store initiatives. Retailers have also partnered with manufacturers to
                                drive win-win with key shoppers. For example, Dollar General has recently
                                worked with P&G to offer free samples of Tide Pods to shoppers for a
                                purchase of anything at dollargeneral.com. Several brands, including large
                                ones like Axe and Dove use social networking sites like Facebook as an
                                early medium to distribute product samples, obtain product feedback,
                                optimize their marketing strategy, and use these results as valuable
                                information to collaborate with retailers.

                                While the vast majority will continue to do a bulk of their grocery shopping
                                in a store, the multi-channel shopping era that combines offline and
                                online shopping is here. There will not be a massive or sudden flight from
                                brick-and-mortar stores to online grocery shopping in the next few years,
                                akin to what has occurred in other industries. However, some categories
                                will experience faster e-commerce growth than others, and if these are
                                trip driver or basket builder categories, then retailers definitely need
                                to find ways to mitigate the loss. We contend the winners will be those
                                who quickly recognize how shopper demand is evolving due to changing
                                demographics and rapid advances in technology, and are able to align
                                formats, assortment, promotions and communication to deliver against the
                                core shopping needs of choice, convenience and value for their dollar.

     The importance of touchpoints
     in digital shopper marketing

     E-commerce in the CPG industry is in its nascent stages. However, digital
     technology does present significant potential for timely and personalized
     marketing. Shoppers do engage in other activities like checking prices and
     researching products online. Moreover, rapid proliferation of technology
     certainly provides marketers with a myriad of ways to interact with
     shoppers.

     Amidst this increasingly complicated marketing landscape, where should
     you invest in digital? Are websites more effective than coupon sites?
     Should you prioritize social media engagement over developing mobile
     apps? These are indeed difficult questions to answer.

     Nielsen’s recent research in Q2 2012 set out to answer these questions
     in the CPG industry. Our results illuminated the role that various digital
     touchpoints (websites, social media sites, blogs and coupon sites) play in
     influencing shoppers’ purchase decisions for various CPG products. We
     discovered that shoppers often default to only using certain touchpoints
     depending on what they are purchasing. It is important for marketers to
     understand what the relevant touchpoints are for their products, and the
     specific shopping decisions they influence.

     There are interesting differences across categories and people in terms
     of whether emails, blogs or websites work best. Based upon our analysis,
     several key principles emerged:

     •	 People utilize a variety of media and sources of information, and
         these vary by category and demographics.

     •	 An integrated approach, leveraging traditional and digital
         touchpoints, is most effective. Focusing solely on a social or mobile
         strategy is not prudent.

     •	 Strategies must recognize which digital touchpoints are effective.
         Using them judiciously in concert with traditional marketing efforts is
         key to success.

Intuitively, one may think that categories more suited for
                                        e-commerce also do a better job of marketing digitally to
                                        shoppers. We, however, uncovered a different reality. Categories
                                        are currently at very different stages of establishing and engaging
                                        an online audience. The level of e-commerce development is not
                                        always a good indicator of how effective these categories are in
                                        digital shopper marketing.

                                        Marketers that are able to prioritize the right touchpoints across
                                        digital platforms to reach, engage and influence shoppers have
                                        significant upside. Effective digital shopper marketing requires
                                        that marketers identify decisions shoppers make along the path
                                        to purchase when they intend to buy specific products, and then
                                        determine the right mix of digital touchpoints to influence those
                                        decisions.

Diapers vs. Baby Food

                    An examination of the path to purchase for diapers versus baby
                    food provides an interesting perspective into the different role
                    of digital technology for two seemingly related categories. At
                    first glance, more shoppers use digital media when shopping for
                    diapers (62%) compared to baby food (54%). This suggests that
                    diapers are more successful in digital shopper marketing.

                    However, a closer look reveals baby food utilizes multiple digital
                    touchpoints more effectively compared to diapers. It suggests
                    that marketers of diapers have room to further optimize their
                    digital strategy, either by trying to make certain touchpoints,
                    e.g. websites and social networks, work better for their products,
                    or by focusing on a smaller set of more influential touchpoints,
                    e.g. blogs. Similarly, baby food marketers that have evidently
                    enjoyed some success in digital shopper marketing might
                    have even more opportunity to influence certain decisions or
                    activities along the path to purchase, e.g. planning trips and
                    accessing deals.

Diet Aids vs. Skin Care
                    A similar analysis of the diet aid and skin care categories
                    suggests that a good barometer of success in digital shopper
                    marketing is the extent to which marketers influence key
                    decisions along the path to purchase, rather than penetration
                    alone.

                    Diet aids (53%) trump skin care (42%) in terms of the
                    percentage of overall shoppers that use digital touchpoints
                    while shopping for these products. However, skin care products
                    utilize digital touchpoints more effectively to engage shoppers.
                    Marketers of diet aids can potentially learn how to make
                    websites more influential by analyzing how skin care marketers
                    use websites to engage with shoppers. They could also improve
                    on helping shoppers to make better decisions earlier along the
                    path to purchase, e.g. discovering new products.

                    We live in a digital world and digital marketing can provide
                    significant opportunities to connect with shoppers on a personal
                    and relevant level. However, the increasingly complex multi-
                    platform retail environment requires mastery of online, mobile,
                    social, traditional and in-store media vehicles and the ability
                    to assemble the right tactical mix. Marketers tuned-in to the
                    digital advantage will bolster consumer engagement and involve
                    shoppers in a more vital, authentic way at every decision point
                    along the path to purchase. In the future as shoppers begin to
                    want continuity between the online and offline experience, they
                    will exercise their online expectations in offline environments.



     THOUGH DIET AIDS HAS MORE DIGITALLY ENGAGED SHOPPERS, SOME
             TOUCHPOINTS ARE NOT AS USEFUL TO SHOPPERS

CO N CL U SIO N
     For the CPG industry, digital shopping represents an evolutionary, not a
     revolutionary development, that will bring manufacturers and retailers closer
     to the consumer. Success in the digital shopping environment requires a deep
     understanding of decisions that different shoppers make along the path to
     purchase at both the trip and product level, the types of information they
     seek to inform those decisions, and where they choose to purchase.

     Manufacturers and retailers should measure the impact of digital shopper
     marketing programs, understand the drivers of success or causes of failure,
     and continuously adjust these programs to better align with core shopper
     needs.

     By leveraging digital and its distinct characteristics, retailers can complement
     brick-and-mortar operations rather than replace them, building sales on both
     fronts. Stores will thrive because of technology, not in spite of it.

     For manufacturers, digital is no longer optional. Know your shopper. Engage
     her through digital media to influence relevant decisions on the path to
     purchase. Drive her to purchase—wherever that purchase might be.

Digital Shopping Statistics 2012

  • 1. d i g i ta l shoppING W H AT YO U N E E D TO C O N S I D E R OCTOBER 2012
  • 2. Meet the d i g i ta l shopper connected, savvy and actively seeking choice, convenience and value for their doll ar. Success in the digital shopping environment requires a deep understanding of shopper needs, how a product category gets shopped and the ability to cost effectively deliver a product to the consumer. The digital revolution has transformed industries like music, books and travel almost entirely because e-commerce solutions delivered shopper needs in ways that traditional channels couldn’t match. Gone are the days where we had to buy an entire album because of a particular track. With iTunes, it is so much easier and economical to customize a personal music library and deliver it digitally. It is much more convenient to visit travel sites like Expedia or Travelocity to research, compare and make purchases, rather than visiting a travel agency. In publishing, Amazon’s endless book selections, authentic reader reviews, personalized book recommendations and e-book options are hard for brick-and-mortar bookstores to match. Amazon’s edge in giving shoppers tailored and relevant choices as well as highly competitive prices has forced traditional booksellers like Borders to close, and has set Amazon on pace to own more than half of the books business in the United States across all formats by the end of 2012.i So are consumer packaged goods (CPG) next in line? Is technology a friend or a foe to retailing in CPG? What does it take for CPG marketers to be shopper centric in a digital world? This paper provides a thorough assessment of the impact of digital on the CPG industry, and outlines key principles for marketing success in a world where digital is a new normal. While we acknowledge that both shopper understanding and economic considerations dictate success in the digital world, this paper focuses primarily on the former: the shopper, their category needs and the digital touchpoints that influence their behavior. 2 DIGITAL SHOPPING | WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER

  • 4. shopper N EEDS Fundamental truths about shopping Digital technology is widely pervasive today and will only continue to grow at a rapid pace into the future. Over 274 million Americans have access to the Internet. ii As of March 2012, 117 million people had smartphones,iii and approximately 80 percent of them were using smartphones for shopping activities like finding stores, making lists, checking prices, researching products, sharing content and purchasing.iv Amidst these activities, people continue to want to satisfy three fundamental needs when they shop: convenience, choice and value for their money. Convenience is the ability to deliver a shopping solution that requires less time and effort. Choice is simply more variety to cater to a broader set of consumer needs. Price-value is the level of quality delivered at a certain price point. For nearly two centuries now, retail formats have evolved to better address these needs. RETAIL FORMATS EVOLVED AROUND FUNDAMENTAL SHOPPER NEEDS natural/specialty food stores hypermarkets/ mass merchandisers CHOICE warehouse club stores pharmacies supermarkets PRICE - VALUE dollar stores CONVENIENCE convenience stores 4 DIGITAL SHOPPING | WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER
  • 5. Ample evidence suggests that these needs have been just two percent of total CPG sales. We believe that while responsible for retail evolution. Shoppers who found digital will continue to play an increasingly important role the need to visit multiple stores to buy consumables in the CPG industry, online shopping will not completely and household products inconvenient, migrated to replace trips to stores any time soon. E-commerce does supercenters introduced by Meijer for a ‘one-stop- offer a few benefits and has enjoyed some success, shopping’ experience. Convenience stores also offered particularly with shoppers in densely populated urban an alternative to supermarkets for shoppers on ‘grab and settings that are seeking convenience. However, brick- go’ trips. In recognition of shoppers’ desire to economize, and-mortar stores also enjoy key advantages over Walmart focused on lowering supply chain costs, increasing e-commerce and have prevented e-commerce from efficiency and providing value to shoppers in terms of gaining widespread adoption. As illustrated below, both everyday low prices. More recently, shopper needs for virtual and physical stores deliver convenience, choice and natural or ethnic products have emerged. Retailers like price-value to shoppers in their own way. Trader Joe’s recognized this need for choice early on, and implemented a culturally-tailored approach to offer unique While e-commerce may not replace traditional grocery product selections to a fast growing multicultural group shopping in the immediate future, the reality is that in in the population. They have grown into a $9.5 billion an industry with modest growth like packaged goods, company in a relatively saturated retailing environment e-commerce will likely grow at the expense of more and have managed to transform a trip to a Trader Joe’s traditional channels. More broadly, digital also provides store into an experience. v an opportunity for marketers to engage with shoppers ‘everywhere and exactly where’ in order to influence Are clicks, then, destined to replace bricks in CPG as they shopping decisions in their favor. Let’s evaluate how you have in other industries? E-commerce has undoubtedly can unlock this opportunity in CPG through the lens of grown at an impressive rate, but in 2011, it accounted for where people buy and how people shop.

  • 6. W HERE PEOPLE BUY The role that category pl ays in e-commerce While e-commerce may not account for a dominant share of CPG sales today, it is still the fastest growing retail channel. Less than four percent of people in America buy CPG products online in any given monthii, but we project e-commerce to grow at a 25 percent annual rate through 2015 and more than double its current share of total CPG sales. Online CPG sales will continue to grow at a robust rate US online CPG sales ($Billions) 2% of CPG sales 5% of CPG sales te 32 Ra h wt ro lG ua nn dA 25 un po om C % 20 25 16 14 12 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Source: Nielsen NetView Panel and Nielsen Analysis, 2012 6 DIGITAL SHOPPING | WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER
  • 7. Here’s an interesting fact: the mix of product sales in e-commerce is 60 percent non-food to 40 percent food, the exact reverse of the CPG picture in total, which is 60 percent food and 40 percent non-food. Looking ahead, we expect that the acceleration will greatly differ by product category. If CPG marketers want to influence shopper’s decisions on where to buy, the reality is that category matters. Some categories are better candidates for selling online than others. Categories in the lead are diapers, diet aids, vitamins and skin care with online sales significantly above the average for CPG products. Many of these categories are relatively expensive non-food products with a steady usage rate. In contrast, categories like carbonated beverages, dairy, liquor, beer, produce and frozen food have a very small proportion of sales online. These categories encounter physical barriers to e-commerce due to factors like refrigeration, perishable concerns and weight that are cost-prohibitive for shipping. In Q2 2012, Nielsen conducted extensive research across 36,000 shoppers of CPG products spanning 18 categories, including both food and non-food items. Based on this research and analysis of online purchase data, we identified two barriers and two enablers that translate into convenience, price-value and choice for a shopper, and collectively determine how successful a category can be in e-commerce.

  • 8. Barriers and Enablers to E-Commerce Urgency Barrier Some categories face a pronounced urgency barrier, the seeking CONVENIENCE overwhelming shopper desire to buy and use at once, without waiting to have the product delivered. For confections, the consumption urgent needs need is often immediate. Convenience can be paramount and the immediate consumption nearest store suffices for that shopper mission. low delay tolerance Inspection Barrier This barrier is especially relevant to perishable food such as fresh seeking choice produce and food requiring refrigeration. Concerns about spoilage can discourage online purchasing because they negatively affect the check quality in store product value proposition if items get discarded. The need to inspect difficult to return certain products drives people to a store and they tend to buy sensory product choice other products that they need while they are there. Therefore the (e.g. smell) inspection barrier has a secondary effect on the entire basket. Stock-Up Enabler Products with predictable consumption rates and a long shelf life such as diapers or dog food lend themselves to online purchasing programs such as Amazon’s Subscribe and Save. Shoppers enrolled seeking CONVENIENCE in such programs are automatically shipped specific products on a periodic basis, and also provided with other incentives such steady use-up rate as preferred customer discounts, coupons and new product willing to stock up information. Meanwhile, retailers and manufacturers enjoy the ancillary benefit of building brand loyalty via these automatic replenishment systems. Price Enabler As for price factors, online retailers enjoy several cost advantages seeking price-value over brick-and-mortar operations, particularly related to overhead. Lower costs of doing business often convert directly into lower high price to weight ratio consumer prices or steeper discounts for digital shoppers, which (low shipping costs) allows marketers to retain price sensitive shoppers in a more profitable way. Considerations affecting the digital investment product margin decision for retailers include how online delivery charges and overall (room for discounting) pricing align with offline retail alternatives. 8 DIGITAL SHOPPING | WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER
  • 9. Keeping the barriers and enablers in mind, we expect personal care categories like vitamins, skin, hair, feminine and baby care; pantry staples like coffee and cereal; and paper products like bath tissue and kitchen towels to win in e-commerce if manufacturers and retailers collaborate to deliver price-value, choice and convenience. Conversely, e-commerce growth in snacks, frozen foods, condiments and beverage will be relatively slow. It is clear that consumers are beginning to embrace the idea of buying some packaged goods online. In response, brick-and-mortar retailers, who were skeptical of e-commerce, are increasingly making it a strategic goal. Savvy retailers are expanding their online offerings and experimenting with new ordering and delivery options. They are developing strategies to cater to shoppers that don’t have time to make grocery trips, or prefer to avoid long checkout lines or crowded parking lots. For example, some retailers are allowing shoppers to order online or from an app on a connected device and pick up the products in-store at a convenient time. Others are including ‘did you forget’ style reminders for online shoppers to promote cross- merchandising and build baskets, while performing a service for customers. Walmart, for instance, stands at the forefront of a vanguard of progressive retailers actively addressing the digital shopping opportunity. The retailing giant is leveraging the advantages of being a multi-channel player, enhancing the benefits of physical store locations with those of the digital environment, and integrating efforts across e-commerce, mobile and in-store initiatives. Retailers have also partnered with manufacturers to drive win-win with key shoppers. For example, Dollar General has recently worked with P&G to offer free samples of Tide Pods to shoppers for a purchase of anything at dollargeneral.com. Several brands, including large ones like Axe and Dove use social networking sites like Facebook as an early medium to distribute product samples, obtain product feedback, optimize their marketing strategy, and use these results as valuable information to collaborate with retailers. While the vast majority will continue to do a bulk of their grocery shopping in a store, the multi-channel shopping era that combines offline and online shopping is here. There will not be a massive or sudden flight from brick-and-mortar stores to online grocery shopping in the next few years, akin to what has occurred in other industries. However, some categories will experience faster e-commerce growth than others, and if these are trip driver or basket builder categories, then retailers definitely need to find ways to mitigate the loss. We contend the winners will be those who quickly recognize how shopper demand is evolving due to changing demographics and rapid advances in technology, and are able to align formats, assortment, promotions and communication to deliver against the core shopping needs of choice, convenience and value for their dollar.

  • 14. HO W PEOPLE SHOP The importance of touchpoints in digital shopper marketing E-commerce in the CPG industry is in its nascent stages. However, digital technology does present significant potential for timely and personalized marketing. Shoppers do engage in other activities like checking prices and researching products online. Moreover, rapid proliferation of technology certainly provides marketers with a myriad of ways to interact with shoppers. Amidst this increasingly complicated marketing landscape, where should you invest in digital? Are websites more effective than coupon sites? Should you prioritize social media engagement over developing mobile apps? These are indeed difficult questions to answer. Nielsen’s recent research in Q2 2012 set out to answer these questions in the CPG industry. Our results illuminated the role that various digital touchpoints (websites, social media sites, blogs and coupon sites) play in influencing shoppers’ purchase decisions for various CPG products. We discovered that shoppers often default to only using certain touchpoints depending on what they are purchasing. It is important for marketers to understand what the relevant touchpoints are for their products, and the specific shopping decisions they influence. There are interesting differences across categories and people in terms of whether emails, blogs or websites work best. Based upon our analysis, several key principles emerged: • People utilize a variety of media and sources of information, and these vary by category and demographics. • An integrated approach, leveraging traditional and digital touchpoints, is most effective. Focusing solely on a social or mobile strategy is not prudent. • Strategies must recognize which digital touchpoints are effective. Using them judiciously in concert with traditional marketing efforts is key to success. 14 DIGITAL SHOPPING | WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER

  • 17. Intuitively, one may think that categories more suited for e-commerce also do a better job of marketing digitally to shoppers. We, however, uncovered a different reality. Categories are currently at very different stages of establishing and engaging an online audience. The level of e-commerce development is not always a good indicator of how effective these categories are in digital shopper marketing. Marketers that are able to prioritize the right touchpoints across digital platforms to reach, engage and influence shoppers have significant upside. Effective digital shopper marketing requires that marketers identify decisions shoppers make along the path to purchase when they intend to buy specific products, and then determine the right mix of digital touchpoints to influence those decisions.

  • 20. Diapers vs. Baby Food An examination of the path to purchase for diapers versus baby food provides an interesting perspective into the different role of digital technology for two seemingly related categories. At first glance, more shoppers use digital media when shopping for diapers (62%) compared to baby food (54%). This suggests that diapers are more successful in digital shopper marketing. However, a closer look reveals baby food utilizes multiple digital touchpoints more effectively compared to diapers. It suggests that marketers of diapers have room to further optimize their digital strategy, either by trying to make certain touchpoints, e.g. websites and social networks, work better for their products, or by focusing on a smaller set of more influential touchpoints, e.g. blogs. Similarly, baby food marketers that have evidently enjoyed some success in digital shopper marketing might have even more opportunity to influence certain decisions or activities along the path to purchase, e.g. planning trips and accessing deals.

  • 22. Diet Aids vs. Skin Care A similar analysis of the diet aid and skin care categories suggests that a good barometer of success in digital shopper marketing is the extent to which marketers influence key decisions along the path to purchase, rather than penetration alone. Diet aids (53%) trump skin care (42%) in terms of the percentage of overall shoppers that use digital touchpoints while shopping for these products. However, skin care products utilize digital touchpoints more effectively to engage shoppers. Marketers of diet aids can potentially learn how to make websites more influential by analyzing how skin care marketers use websites to engage with shoppers. They could also improve on helping shoppers to make better decisions earlier along the path to purchase, e.g. discovering new products. We live in a digital world and digital marketing can provide significant opportunities to connect with shoppers on a personal and relevant level. However, the increasingly complex multi- platform retail environment requires mastery of online, mobile, social, traditional and in-store media vehicles and the ability to assemble the right tactical mix. Marketers tuned-in to the digital advantage will bolster consumer engagement and involve shoppers in a more vital, authentic way at every decision point along the path to purchase. In the future as shoppers begin to want continuity between the online and offline experience, they will exercise their online expectations in offline environments.

  • 26. CO N CL U SIO N For the CPG industry, digital shopping represents an evolutionary, not a revolutionary development, that will bring manufacturers and retailers closer to the consumer. Success in the digital shopping environment requires a deep understanding of decisions that different shoppers make along the path to purchase at both the trip and product level, the types of information they seek to inform those decisions, and where they choose to purchase. Manufacturers and retailers should measure the impact of digital shopper marketing programs, understand the drivers of success or causes of failure, and continuously adjust these programs to better align with core shopper needs. By leveraging digital and its distinct characteristics, retailers can complement brick-and-mortar operations rather than replace them, building sales on both fronts. Stores will thrive because of technology, not in spite of it. For manufacturers, digital is no longer optional. Know your shopper. Engage her through digital media to influence relevant decisions on the path to purchase. Drive her to purchase—wherever that purchase might be. About Nielsen Nielsen Holdings N.V.
