Marketing to eCommerce shoppers is similar to attracting consumers to brick and mortar stores, but it's not the same thing.

When someone visits a physical store, they're exhibiting a stronger intent to make a purchase. Online shoppers are often earlier in the researching process.

That means that treating every ad click like it's going to convert into a sale can be a costly mistake. In this episode, Robert and Brendan discuss how to properly balance your marketing to (1) attract new shoppers, (2) educate them, and (3) ultimately help them decide to make a purchase.

They go farther by sharing insights on balancing campaigns across different advertising platforms, like Google, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube... and dealing with the challenge of optimizing marketing spends based on which platforms and campaigns are actually delivering the best results - including return on ad spend (ROAS).
