    Paid Social Trends iPROSPECT QUARTERLY REPORT | 2017 Q4 By Brittany Richter, VP, Head of Social Media and Katherine Patton, Director, Paid Social iProspect.com COPYRIGHT 2018 © iPROSPECT, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. iProspect Quarterly Report Paid Social Trends | 2017 Q4 2 Reviewing Overarching Q4 2017 Trends While the cost of inventory continues to rise, so does the value that brands see in paid social advertising. The brands that saw the strongest Q4 business performance were the ones that leveraged the Facebook pixel, optimized toward site engagement (Retail) or Reach (CPG, branding), took advantage of Dynamic Broad Audiences (DABA), and planned content designed for the feed. Based on iProspect client data, paid social continues to drive performance in its own right while also fueling our clients’ first-party data, which can be leveraged to drive cross-channel performance. The following trends and insights are based on analysis of the data from more than 210 brands managed by iProspect U.S. (though the spend is not confined to U.S. mar- kets). The spend data is representative of Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snap, Inc., and Twitter, while performance data is specific to Facebook and Instagram only. SPEND Overall, iProspect’s paid social clients’ total Q4 social spend was up 72% quarter over quarter (QoQ) compared to Q3 2017, and 86% year over year (YoY) when compared to Q4 of 2016. Q4 is consistently the busiest time of the year for many of our clients, so it’s not unusual to see an increase spend as they strive to hit annual goals and capitalize on the holiday time period.

  • How Content Volume on Landing Pages Influences Consumer Behavior
    June 23 - 28 2018, La Verne, California, USA HOW CONTENT VOLUME ON LANDING PAGES INFLUENCES CONSUMER BEHAVIOR: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE Ruti Gafni* The Academic College of Tel Aviv Yaffo, [email protected] Tel Aviv, Israel Nim Dvir University at Albany, State University of New York, [email protected] Albany, NY, USA * Corresponding author ABSTRACT Aim/Purpose This paper describes an empirical investigation on how consumer behavior is influenced by the volume of content on a commercial landing page -- a stand- alone web page designed to collect user data (in this case the user’s e-mail ad- dress), a behavior called “conversion.” Background Content is a term commonly used to describe the information made available by a website or other electronic medium. A pertinent debate among scholars and practitioners relate to information volume and consumer behavior: do more details elicit engagement and compliance, operationalized through conver- sions, or the other way around? Methodology A pilot study (n= 535) was conducted in real-world commercial setting, fol- lowed by a series of large-scale online experiments (n= 27,083). Both studies employed a between-group design: Two variations of landing pages, long and short, were created based on various behavioral theories. User traffic to the pages was generated using online advertising and randomized between the pag- es (A/B testing). Contribution This research contributes to the body of knowledge on the antecedents and outcomes of online commercial interaction, focusing on content as a determi- nant of consumer decision-making and behavior. Accepting Editor: Eli Cohen │ Received: December 2, 2017 │ Revised: February 28, 2018 │ Accepted: March 3, 2018.
