Promotions, In-Store Displays Key to Swaying Electronics Shoppers

Almost one-third of shoppers bought electronics based on an offer or
promotion–the most popular being rebates and sale prices–according to a new
survey from Omnicom’s Dallas-based Integer Group. Also, most of the buyers (75%)
browsed on the Web before purchasing–going online an average of more than three

seem to bolster stereotypes, the results also hold some
holiday-marketing clues. And with a record $22 billion in electronic
purchases up for grabs this season, according to the Consumer
Electronics Association, marketing can be a potent influencer when
angling for that wallet share.
