According to Digital Commerce 360, U.S. eCommerce spending increased by 44% year-over-year in 2020, demonstrating remarkable growth in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. As online shopping expands to new industries and demographics, advertisers must respond accordingly with increased campaign spending and measurement. Eye Square’s Ad-to-Store product serves a critical function in this new environment, helping marketers to assess and confirm whether their campaigns are driving sales.

Eye Square’s new Ad-to-Store offering integrates previously-advertised products in the search results of a simulated online store, in real time. The innovative new solution draws on Eye Square’s expertise using in-context testing, connecting the results of actual advertising strategies with purchase intent in a live environment.

Using Ad-to-Store, companies can determine how effective specific ad creative and specific ad placements are in driving consumers to actually put items into their shopping cart and purchase them. Given the growing importance of e-commerce, advertisers are eager to better understand appropriate advertising tactics and compare how effective they are in order to maximize ROI.

“While advertising campaigns have traditionally been able to measure details such as campaign recall and brand lift, technological limitations have prevented marketers from being able to understand the precise impact of advertisements at all stages of purchasing decisions. The new Ad-to-Store feature from Eye Square now makes it possible to map a realistic effect model from initial ad contact through the complete purchasing process,” said Ephraim (Jeff) Bander, Eye Square’s Head of US Operations. “As e-commerce continues to boom, the comprehensive insights offered by this solution will enable advertisers to measure and refine every aspect of their campaigns, creating more effective collateral for the next generation of digital marketing.”
