USING INTRADAY DATA• Intraday data becomes

very important during periods of peak competition (Black Friday, Cyber Monday)

• Allows a marketer to get a much quicker read on marketplace conditions and react accordingly.

P r o p r i e t a r y & C o n fi d e n t i a l13

MARGIN OPTIMIZATION

What’s your target? Is all revenue alike, or are you really looking to maximize gross margin?

P r o p r i e t a r y & C o n fi d e n t i a l14

DEVICE CONTROL

Take control where the engine lets you

• As the proportion of Mobile and tablet traffic grows, it becomes more and more important to have control over that traffic

P r o p r i e t a r y & C o n fi d e n t i a l15

CONTEXT MATTERSDesktop

Mobile

Marketers need to understand that device users have different objectives than desktop users

Desktop users:• Users conduct heavy research online before pulling

purchase trigger• Users typically have more time to browse • Online experience and larger screen make purchasing

easy and painless

Mobile users:• On the go• Users seek information in quick, easily digestible

bites • Users are less patient and more task-driven because

of small screen• Users drive in-store visits and store calls

P r o p r i e t a r y & C o n fi d e n t i a l16

PAY ATTENTION TO:

1 LOCATION: The dynamics of where a search takes place and how near or far it is to other locations

DEVICE: The realities of the consumer’s physical search experience including screen size, device type, carrier
