Humanity Marketing: Combining Data and Emotions to Make Powerful Human Connections (jschmid.com)

Join Us For An ANA Exclusive Webinar – Thursday, November 17, 2022 at 10:00am Central

Think data is only about numbers? Think again. Data insights have proven that making a true human connection based on emotions is far more effective than relying on data and logic alone. In fact, if you’re only relying on data to make marketing decisions, your brand is likely getting left behind.

Consumers say that 80% of the brands they buy from don’t matter to them. See how data and analytics is proving that a more HUMAN approach is far more effective.

Brands are based on relationships and relationships are based on feelings. But most brands focus only on a transactional relationship with their customers. They just sell them things. But nobody likes to be “sold to.” So, what’s the secret to brands who are loved? This session will pull back the curtain on some of today’s most beloved brands and explain how they’ve made a deep emotional connection with their audience.

Key takeaways from this session:

• Learn 7 tips for making your brand more human
• Learn the evolution of branding (and where your brand is on the scale)
• See examples of how data insights led to more informed emotional messaging

The Catalog’s Resurgence (j.schmid.com)

In a world in which digital marketing continues to grow, a new brand is still mailing a catalog for the first time every month. That’s not the strange part, however. What is strange is WHO is mailing these catalogs: e-commerce retailers. Amazon, Wayfair, One King’s Lane and Everlane are just a few examples of formerly online-only brands that took the leap into the catalog sphere. Ironically, one such catalog I received in the mail is called “OnlineShoes.com”! Furthermore, brands which have traditionally sold through brick-and-mortar stores are increasingly adding catalogs to drive traffic to both their website and stores. In many cases, these brands have discovered that by adding a catalog to the marketing mix, customer value increases fourfold! According to the Direct Marketing Association, close to 90 million Americans currently purchase from a catalog. Interestingly, nearly 60 percent of them are women. So why do catalogs still work in a digital world? Check out our recent blog to learn more at: https://www.jschmid.com/blog/designed-for-growth-the-catalogs-resurgence/

Marketers Find More Uses For Generative AI (mediapost.com)

ChatGPT just arrived a few months ago, but the implications of generative AI can seem confounding to the average marketer. Here are a few ways marketers have found to use generative so far in 2023: Image generation: Tools such as Rosebud.ai and Midjourney can generate multiple versions of the same ad to try on various audiences. Notably, Heinz used OpenAI’s Dall-E 2 to create images of ketchup and it did so in a memorable fashion, in which all the images looked like Heinz bottles. Personalization: Using the traditional methods, creating personalized campaigns is often too much work, but generative AI has the promise of making personalization much easier.

Clicks to Bricks: You Probably Aren’t Measuring Digital Marketing Correctly, and it’s Costing You (mytotalretail.com)

Despite the fact that the retail landscape continues to undergo massive waves of post-COVID evolution, there are many things that still haven’t changed — like the fact that consumers continue to go to physical stores to shop and that the physical portion of retailers' businesses still command the largest share of their revenues by a very large margin. Despite this, many retailers still only focus on the e-commerce sales impacts of their digital marketing, and ignore the in-store sales impacts because it's “difficult to measure.” This myopic focus is costing them — a lot. Web analytics tools or the measurements provided by the large platforms like Google and Meta have always relied on clicks to tell the story of campaign value. However, with major privacy changes in the market made by Apple and coming soon from Google, any measurement approach that relies on tracking individual consumers has been dying a death of a thousand cuts. Even measuring digital ads’ impact on e-commerce is getting a lot harder.
