We’ve all found ourselves viewing and even purchasing that unique or needed item that popped up in our feed at the right time. In fact, new research shows that new movers respond favorably to social media advertising and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) campaigns.
New Movers’ Likelihood to Purchase Through Social Media Advertising & SEM Campaigns
Nearly two-thirds of new movers say they would be influenced to make a purchase based on a social media ad and a search engine ad. In addition, we’ve found that they are likely to make a purchase from a social media ad (65%) as well as a search engine ad (58%). These numbers offer great insight for businesses as they look at their overall advertising spend and budget for upcoming campaigns.
Breaking it down even further, let’s look at the numbers as they relate to social media and SEM from our 2022 New Mover Trends Report.
How New Movers are Influenced by Social Media Advertising
Social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. offer opportunities for brands to place paid ads in front of targeted consumers. This form of advertising is becoming increasingly popular and valuable as we see that 61% of new movers say they would be influenced to make a purchase based on a social media ad, and 65% believe they would make purchases through these ads.
How New Movers are Influenced by Search Engine Marketing
Search Engine Marketing has similar numbers. Search engine ads seen on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc. also offer targeted ad placement to help brands find their way to the most appropriate consumers. We’ve found that 62% of new movers said that these ads would influence them to make a purchase and 58% believe they would take the step of purchasing through these ads.
Since nearly half (49%) of new movers use social media several times a day or more often, and more than half (56%) of all new movers have purchased from a social media ad, it’s clear this is an important piece of your mover marketing plan that should be optimized.
