Rise of Social Media Creates Opportunities & Challenges: IBM Survey

A new (NYSE: IBM) IBM survey of more than 28,000 consumers released recently – the largest global survey of its kind – found that, overwhelmingly, consumers are looking for a more personalized shopping experience and are willing to share select details about themselves with their favorite retailers, in order to educate brands on exactly how, when and where to approach them.

Just as we chat with our local shopkeeper, consumers are willing to dish to retailers about their media usage (75 percent); demographics (73 percent); identification, such as name and address (61 percent); lifestyle (59 percent); and location (56 percent) for a more targeted and smarter shopping experience.

Consumers are telling IBM that they actually want to receive more communication – not less – but they want it to be delivered through preferred media channels and in a relevant way.

Increasingly, savvy retailers are responding to this need and using sophisticated technology to make sure every interaction with customers is spot-on, based on individual preferences, location and lifestyle.
