Why digital promotions are more important than ever

A changing landscape can make it difficult to focus on exciting opportunities arising from major market changes. The constant evolution of the digital space, fueled by rapidly evolving technology and elusive consumer preferences, may cause retailers to become weary of digital promotions. Frustration with this seemingly never-ending race has many longing for the days and simplicity of traditional promotions. However, digital promotions are here to stay and are becoming an increasingly important part of the personalized marketing mix, especially in an omnichannel retail environment.

Luckily, digital promotions can provide much more than a headache. Below are a number of emerging trends in digital promotions that have huge implications for retailers both in the near and far future. 

In the past, retailers primarily looked at digital promotions as a tool to increase online sales. Smartphones and consumer demand for seamless experiences have changed this dynamic, but retailers are still slow to embrace digital promotions as an effective tool for driving in-store sales. Currently, about 90 percent of the top 100 retailers engage in digital promotions and marketing, but probably less than 10 percent use those promotions to drive in-store sales.
