Online grocery shopping: more marketing strategies

 

As advanced in a previous article, food marketers have to adopt innovative strategies to market products since with the rise of online grocery shopping, fewer people are visiting stores. Two ways to do so is to create sample packs and digital shelves to introduce them to new items. Let’s look at a few more techniques.

Meal kits
During these past years, meal kit delivery services have been quite popular and these offer brands an additional opportunity to introduce new products to customers. For instance, they can collaborate with e-commerce meal kit companies to include samples/ coupons in their shipments. Such partnerships will give you the capability to increase exposure, especially since the firm with which you have collaborated knows about its clients’ preferences and it will be able to recommend which customer will be interested in what type of item.

Digital marketing tactics
With these current changes, it is important to invest funds to expand your digital, social and media marketing outreach to specific target audiences. This has become a core strategy. You can also increase your social listening capabilities so that you can better understand general and post-purchase online chatter. This data will allow you to analyse customer behaviour and adjust your
marketing messages and social buys in near real-time.
