Connecting your online marketing efforts to in-store visits and subsequent sales represents a significant frontier in social media marketing.
For years, Facebook has been working to enhance this connection through technologies like in-store beacons, 'Conversion Lift' metrics that compare in-store POS data with Facebook ad effectiveness, and increasingly direct shopping options.
