TELEVISION STILL LEADS IN PRODUCT AWARENESS
STATION WEBSITES GETTING MENTIONS TOO The purchase funnel is a consumer marketing model
developed by advertising guru E. St. Elmo Lewis which says a series of elements--including awareness, interest, consideration, and purchase--are factors in a buying decision. Flash forward 119-years after Lewis came up with his theory and the TVB says television is uniquely wellpositioned as it remains the primary influencer through all stages of a consumer's purchase decision-making process. The Purchase Funnel 2017 study was conducted for the TVB by GfK and it looked at consumers exposed to advertising in six categories--automotive, banking, furniture, bedding and carpet, legal, medical, and QSR/ casual dining--across a spectrum of nearly two dozen media platforms.
The study shows two-thirds of awareness to product and services is tied to television. The TVB reports 77% of consumers saw a TV spot and of that group 62% cited that ad as a No. 1 source of awareness. Plus another 4% said a local TV station's website or app turned them onto products.
Next in the funnel is interest in a product, and TV is tops there as well. The survey found 55% of influencers cited TV ads as what drives their interest with an additional 4% pointing to a local TV station's website or app. All that interest drives people to either visit a store or a website with half of the people surveyed crediting a televisions commercial for piquing their curiosity. In fact the TVB says two-thirds of consumers report TV ads have influenced their online searches. After a consumer's interest is whetted, then comes consideration in the funnel model and there again TV is tops. Half of the influencers said TV ads lead them to consider a product or service.
Ultimately it all flows to an actual purchase and there's where TV advertising really pays off for marketers. The TVB-GfK study found 46% of consumers said television commercials were responsible for them opening their wallet and buying a product or service. Another 3% cited an advertisement on a local TV station's app or website. It means half of all purchase decisions linked to TV spots (read the media-by-media break down HERE).
The report also shows is just how untrustworthy consumers consider what they read on social media. To get a read on how brands may be received, the analysis looked at news content. The study shows 81% of consumers considered local broadcast news to be the most-trusted source of news. And 68% said they trust news they read on a local TV station's website or app. Contrast that with social media as just 40% of participants said they trust what they read on sites like Facebook or Twitter.
"TV is the most important influencer at all stages of the purchase funnel, greater than all other media platforms combined," TVB chief research officer Hadassa Gerber said, summing up the report. "This is true for all ethnic and age groups studied, even 18-34 year olds," she added.
ADVERTISER NEWS Macy's is making some big management changes,
eliminating about 100 jobs and consolidating its merchandising, planning and private-label functions while hiring an eBay SVP to become its new President. CEO Jeff Gennette also said he wants to avoid a "sea of sameness" in Macy's merchandise and hopes to raise the percentage

The deal is said to "accelerate growth and expand our reach," according to DTLR's CEO...... DSW reported its first positive comp quarter since 2015, albeit a moderate 0.6% gain, that still left the year-to-date down 1.3%. Still the chains sees opportunity, noting "The current retail consolidation provides significant opportunity to acquire market share." DSW currently has 511 stores in 43 states and another 350 leased locations in larger stores......Kirkland's second quarter comp store sales were up 1.2% including e-commerce compared to a decrease of 4.3% in the quarter a year ago.
