So What’s the difference
Firsty they have to encounter you and your display…
real world VS Digital
they look for you yellow pages, classifieds, ads VS Google and other Search, niche communities, directories which meas search optimization for what the consumer is searching for!
Some one recommends the store, event VS someone, mentions or share a link on Social Networking, social Shopping
they drive by, see the display and stop vs Media, however “Social Media” adds the ability to “move your window” into their point of view!
Once that connection is made the item has to attract attention… so in live situations display, lighting and positioning are important as well as what’s competing for the consumers attention! Online and mobile teh item has to be shot and formatted to suit the media… Most people will view your product in a space about the size of a credit card forgo busy backgrounds.
They will want INFORMATION
If convinced they want to Buy ,
If not they want answers to their questions or a means of staying updated!
