For generations, the path to purchase for consumers in Spain has been relatively linear. Then came a raft of data scandals, GDPR legislation and a global pandemic that has seemingly changed the commerce landscape for good. Coupled with Apple’s changes to IDFA and Google’s plans to comprehensively cease third-party cookie tracking in the next couple of years (Firefox and Safari already have), it’s clear marketers need to find a new, reciprocal way to engage with consumers.
That’s why our sister brand (Cheetah Digital, a Marigold Company) commissioned this exhaustive survey — to hear directly from consumers in Spain on the data they’re prepared to share for a better service, what forms of marketing they think are creepy, or cool, and what it is that makes them pick a brand over the competition.
When it comes to driving sales, almost half (49%) of consumers in Spain have made a purchase directly from a post in social media — 20% higher than global consumers, and almost two-thirds have purchased a product or service in-app — 24% higher than consumers elsewhere.
When it comes to third-party cookie tracking, consumers in Spain are more suspicious than their peers around the globe, with a mere 7% stating they think third-party cookies make for a better online experience — this is 50% fewer than the rest-of-the-world.
The good news is that these consumers will share with you the personal and preference data required to deliver better personalized marketing — if you offer the right value exchange. And it need not always be a discount or expensive prize. More than half of consumers will share their preference data to feel part of a brand’s community (7% higher than global consumers), and 58% will share data about themselves like clothing size, age, and family make-up for better service — a 5% uptick on global consumers).
