Study Shows Most Search Related Purchases Occur Offline
Quote:comScore Networks today released
results from a new research study that confirms the importance of search in
influencing offline buying. The results show that 25 percent of searchers
purchased an item directly related to their query, and that of those buyers,
37 percent completed their purchase online.  An even greater 63 percent
completed a purchase offline following their search activity.

    The study, sponsored by Google, entitled "The Role of Search in Consumer
Buying" examined the impact of Web search (excluding comparison shopping
sites) on consumers' holiday-related purchases completed online and offline
during November and December 2005, across 11 product categories.  The study
reflects the searching behavior of 83 million Americans who conducted more
than 552 million searches in the categories analyzed using one or more of the
24 leading search engines.

    "The study confirms the important role of search in influencing consumers'
purchase behavior both online and offline," said James Lamberti, vice
president of comScore Search Marketing Solutions. "Importantly, it's clear
from this study that the influence of search on offline buying can often be
responsible for the major portion of the overall financial return from
investments in search marketing."

    "We find that many multi-channel retailers already understand that search
has tremendous impact on both online and offline purchases," said John
McAteer, head of retail, Google.  "This research helps quantify exactly how
influential search really is for the overall buying process."

Re: Study Shows Most Search Related Purchases Occur Offline
The category conversion numbers are interesting  Crybaby2  ...and I'm a little surprised at the low percentage of searchers who buy music/movies/videos/video games online vs. offline compared to other categories like apparel & accessories.  I'm much more likely to buy movies and music online than I am to buy apparel...I guess I'm just really really weird.  Big Grin
