Cross-Device Tracking

Follow the customer journey in the lead-up to Christmas

Data, data, data! We live off data.  The more data we have the better off we are.  The world of consumer conversion tracking is rapidly changing.  We’re in a world where people are increasingly connected across a range of devices. We live in a fast paced, ‘I want it now’ society.  Consumers are more often making quick decisions in the moment, provided what they need is at their fingertips. As advertisers, it’s important to not only be there when they need you, but also to be able to track the journey they’ve taken to get to the point of sale. Mobile browsing has increased, time spent in apps on mobile devices is increasing and advertising on mobiles has never been more important.  Here we’ll look at offline conversion tracking and cross device tracking, including the developments in the industry and the benefits to you as an advertiser.

Social Economics

Any tool can be used by people to create or destroy; it all depends on the person. Humans are the major agents of impact and change on our earth. We are in control of our destiny. When we are all told that we are in control of our emotions, we agree. We are the ones in control of our behaviour, our decision-making. So imagine when someone tells you that, in fact, there are external factors which actually change the way you think, the decisions you make; we get rather defensive and believe this to be untrue.

How To Foster Positive Reviews
