The Fastest-Growing Medium? Shopper Marketing

Deloitte Study Shows In-Store Spending Is Outpacing Even the Internet

Advertising Age, September 27, 2007 — BATAVIA, Ohio (AdAge.com) — The fastest-growing medium isn't the internet, but shopper marketing, where retailers and package-goods marketers are shifting hundreds of millions of dollars — doubling their expenditure in the past three years alone.

A new study finds shopper marketing has grown from 3% of the overall marketing budgets of the 19 package-goods manufacturers surveyed in 2004 to 6% this year. The manufacturers expect it to reach 8% of marketing budgets by 2010.

That puts the compound annual growth rate for their shopper-marketing spending at 21%, faster even than spending on internet advertising (rising 15% annually) and far faster than the 2% growth projected for spending on such traditional media as TV, print and radio.
