Changes in US media consumption habits have brands reevaluating their multichannel marketing programs. Marketers continue to combine channels with the purpose of achieving maximum reach, but as multiple digital devices become staples of US daily life, traditional media such as TV, print and radio are no longer the only channels offering marketers mass exposure.
“The proliferation of digital devices and channels provides marketers more ways to reach an audience,” said Lauren Fisher, eMarketer writer/analyst and author of the new report, “Multichannel Marketing: Making the Most of Multiple Screens.” “But as media multitasking has become a common way for people to cram more media minutes into the day, multichannel marketers are finding reach alone is no longer as effective. To compete for consumers’ time and divided attention, brands must also find ways to better resonate with their audiences.”
July 2011 data from Yahoo! and advertising agency Razorfish revealed that while watching TV, 66% of US mobile device owners multitasked on their laptop or desktop PC on a daily basis. In addition, 49% used their web-enabled mobile phone daily when watching TV.
