Episode 08: Back to School
Key Takeaways:
Capture Shoppers. Studies reveal that 88% of consumers are looking for the best price for products, and only 14% of those consumers consider brand reputation when purchasing. This presents a huge opportunity for brands to smash into the market and create recognition, if they have the right products at the right price.
Invest Early. Your back to school marketing strategy should generate awareness around your brand and/or product(s) and build up excitement by teasing sales or product launches.
Spend Strategically. Compare year-over-year perfomance of your back to school advertising, and break down daily trends to understand where you need to invest. Invest heavily during peak periods when it’s most competitive.
