EARLIER - LAST YEAR, 20% STARTED BEFORE OCTOBER
• Could Prime Day have skewed this buying behavior? Amazon had its biggest sales day ever
this year – US orders rose by 50%
10
KEY TAKEAWAYS – KEEP YOUR EYE ON
MARKETPLACES
• Marketplaces have become dominant over the past couple of
years.
– A 2015 survey of retail executives showed they expect marketplaces to
have 40% market share by 2020
• Sites like ebay, amazon and alibaba offer sellers access to a huge
customer base, making them attractive to retailers that struggle to
drive sales on their own sites.
• Marketplaces pose many challenges for retailers
– Commoditization / loss of brand equity
– unhealthy price competition – amazon changes 2.5MM prices a day
– sharing of customer data
– doing business with potential future competitor
• Retailers need to carefully weigh the pros and cons of selling
through marketplaces
KEY TAKEAWAYS -HIGHER INCOME GROUPS CHOOSE
AMAZON/MARKETPLACES VS RETAILER WEBSITES.
• Is retailer brand equity losing the
battle for the consumers’ wallet
to more choice and lower price?
• Is convenience of Amazon too
much to overcome?
14
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Baby Boomers prefer picking up the ordered
item in-store. This may be driven more by
“habit”.
• Interestingly Millennials also exhibit a
preference of ordering online and picking up
in store. This may be an outcome of their
mobile shopping behavior and propensity to
conduct “near me searches”.
16
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Buying preferences are increasingly influenced by
price and promotions.
• Growth of marketplaces may be leading to brand
commoditization.
• If you are #2 or #3 in your category, there is
opportunity to take share by targeting #1 brand with
paid search ads.
18
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Millennials are top experience gift givers
• Clothing, shoes, jewelry skews younger.
• Are you taking advantage of
demographic bid adjustments in paid
search?
• Are you promoting your gift cards, e-gift
certificates effectively throughout the
holiday season?
