Some interesting stats from a new comScore survey on the influence of Search on consumer buying in the consumer electronics / computers category point out by Gary.
Here are the highlights:
- Vast Majority of Search-Influenced Buying Occurs Either Offline or in Subsequent Internet User Sessions
- 25 percent of searchers ultimately purchased a CE/C product
- 92 percent of these purchases occurred offline
- Among the 8 percent of post-search purchases that were made online, the vast majority occurred in subsequent user sessions
- Only 15 percent of online purchases following a CE/C search occurred in the same user session as the search itself
- With 85 percent of conversions occurring in a latent (or non-search) session
- Nearly 40 percent of all purchases occurred 5 to 12 weeks after the initial CE/C search was conducted.

Have an interesting view on the stats that only 1% of visitors purchase an electronics item on their first visit. They either need a better site or target ad spend better.
Ultimately though, it means I do more than OK in that sector and want to say thanks to the Yahoo shareholders that paid for this survey to be undertaken. Cheers guys :)
