In Europe and North America there has been a huge increase in the amount
of time spent online, propelling the internet to second place in terms
of media consumption, second only to the television. Online advertising
is increasingly being used by food and drinks companies to build
relationships with their consumers that are not merely based on
products. The internet also provides a variety of innovative ways in
which to sustain those relationships over time.
Food and drinks companies are increasingly adopting rich media ads and
contextual, in-text and in-game advertising all of which are helping to
produce more targeted, interactive content for users. As consumers move
on to Web 2.0 and increase their use of social-networking and sharing
sites, food and drinks companies need to understand how to utilize these
applications to target their audience effectively.
Innovative Online Food and Drinks Marketing: Building brand and customer
relationships online' is a new report published by Business Insights
that provides insight into online marketing strategies. This report
analyzes consumer and manufacturer drivers and NPD in the key markets of
Europe, Japan and the US.
Internet penetration is highest amongst teenagers but Internet usage (in
terms of hours spent online) peaks amongst the middle aged. Differences
between the genders are disappearing as women catch up with men.
The number of hours that people spend consuming media, including online,
is rising. Online is the fastest-growing medium and is now second only
to TV in terms of timespend.
There are almost 0.6 billion Internet users in the developed world and
almost one billion users in emerging markets. That's 72% of the
population of the former and 20% of the latter.
Expenditure on online advertising in Western Europe and North America
reached $35bn in 2008. This figure is expected to continue growing
strongly during the recession.
How can food and drinks manufacturers position their products to
capitalize on the key areas of growth in online marketing?
