JiWire Mobile Audience Insights Report: Mobile Emerges as Critical Tool for CPG Brands in the Consumer Path to Purchase

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 11/20/13 — , the leading location-powered mobile advertising and data platform, today released its quarterly “Mobile Audience Insights Report.” This quarter-s report focuses on the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry and examines how mobile is reshaping and influencing the mobile path to purchase. When leveraging the digital world to enhance the grocery shopping experience, from creating shopping lists to making purchase decisions in-store, smartphones are consumers- device of choice.

For the first time, this quarter-s report also benchmarks the effectiveness of mobile advertising in driving consumers to a retail location. The report examined all Q3 2013 drive-to-location campaigns across the JiWire network and measured incremental store visits by consumers as a result of seeing a mobile campaign. On average, mobile advertising campaigns drove a 44% increase in in-store foot traffic over regular store visits in Q3, providing concrete ROI measurement for advertisers.

Additional key findings from the report showed:

60% of consumers use their smartphone to create their shopping list, almost 3x higher than tablets or laptops.

65% of consumers add products to their shopping lists after seeing a mobile ad.

69% of consumers want to enhance their in-store shopping experience by receiving information (such as sales, coupons and recipes) from the retailer on their mobile device.

JiWire-s research punctuates the integral role mobile devices play in consumer shopping behavior throughout the path to purchase. By evaluating consumers- location and mobile behavior, JiWire found:

Consumers own an average of 3.9 mobile devices, an increase of 67% since Q2 2011.

Smartphones are the preferred device when preparing shopping lists, social sharing with friends and for in-store shopping assistance. Tablets are preferred for browsing recipes.

CPG brands often question whether a coupon, convenience or price factor into their mobile audience-s purchase decisions. JiWire-s research shows that sales, location and recipes have the most impact on what consumers decide to purchase:

69% of consumers want to enhance their in-store experience by receiving information on sales, coupons or products while they shop.

Consumers are most likely to respond to ads when they-re within five miles of a store, specifically for service or retail locations (dry cleaner, grocery store, post office, etc.).

As a result of seeing a mobile ad, 65% of consumers add products to their shopping lists and 47% of consumers are willing to try a new product.

Third quarter saw the largest increase in smartphone public Wi-Fi usage compared with last year. Other highlights include:

Wi-Fi connections via mobile devices increased 21% year-over-year.

68% of all public Wi-Fi connections were represented by mobile devices, with smartphones and tablets representing 45% and 23%, respectively.

Laptop usage continues to steadily decrease to 32% of overall Wi-Fi usage, a relative decrease of 27% year-over-year.

“CPG brands have an invaluable opportunity to engage and influence consumers at every point in their purchase path, thanks to the role mobile now plays in the grocery shopping experience,” said David Staas, president, JiWire. “Mobile provides that engagement opportunity to influence the consumer before they get to the store, and can create continuity through to purchase and measurement. It-s a great time to be a CPG brand investing in mobile.”
