By April 7th, more than 95% of the U.S. population was under some form of stay-at-home order as consumers stockpiled essential goods, and bolstered spending on streaming services, exercise equipment, food and alcohol, and DIY activities. Using this intelligence, STIHL, a leading producer of handheld power equipment, and their digital agency, PowerChord, targeted avid home improvers and situational DIYers alike. Using InMarket’s GeoLink data and informative video ads, STIHL produced an 18.17% in-store click-through-rate, 30.28 times higher than the industry average.
“The hurdles we face at a time where going to stores in person isn’t always an option has meant that creativity in advertising is more important than ever,” says Vicki Head, Marketing Communications Manager at STIHL Southwest. “The location-based advertising tactics utilized by InMarket allowed us to reach customers at the time and place when their interest was at its highest.”
“With limited points through which to reach modern-day consumers, disruptions like COVID-19 can be make-or-break opportunities for brands,” said Nikki Vegenski, SVP, Marketing and Strategy at PowerChord. “InMarket’s consumer intelligence is an essential tool for us as we navigate how consumer priorities are changing.”
