Integrated Marketing

At first glance, the statistics seem like they're at odds with each other — as though someone had mixed some generational marketing numbers up and accidentally placed ones that spoke to Boomers' shopping preferences beside stats for the Millennials.

Consider the chart from The NPD Group that states 81 percent of Millennials' retail purchases take place in a brick and mortar store.  Another statistic from Valassis seems to muddy the waters further. It states that 51 percent of respondents between the ages of 18- 34 reported the newspaper was the top source where they spotted deals.

What is Integrated Marketing?

It may seem odd to find out that the most tech savvy of all the generations jumps from digital to traditional when they shop, but the concept is old hat to marketing gurus like Mark Schmukler. In fact, Schmukler and other forward thinkers have long championed a concept called integrated marketing that mimics the preference for something old and something new as a preferred way to market both on and offline. Schmukler started his career in engineering and switched to marketing over thirty years ago, so he understands the nuts and bolts of this specific tool.
"I've worked in the older ad agencies which practiced outbound marketing and the new digital agencies which are really inbound," says the CEO and Co-founder of Sagefrog Marketing Group. "We have always believed in optimizing across all available channels."
