Print in the Mix: Nielsen Study Reveals Shoppers Prefer Paper
New research from Nielsen examining the benefits of print and digital inserts and other forms of retail advertising were presented at the Nielsen’s U.S. Consumer 360 Conference. Research findings shared:
-
Close to 70% percent of shoppers from a recent Nielsen survey say they look at printed paper material either mailed to the home (67%) or in newspapers (69%) at least once per week in their quest for sales and promotions.
-
The only digital tactic that matches printed paper’s weekly reach is email (67%). Far fewer people are looking to sales and product information from digital methods like social media sites (45%) or from smart or mobile phones (39%). Nielsen states that while consumers prefer print, the weekly usage conversion rates from digital are strong.
-
Shoppers Want Print and Digital In the Future. Nearly 90% of consumers say they want their print advertising in the future, more than 70% want email and traditional websites, and about one-third are interested in social and smartphone advertising applications.
