...Online Advertising Really Moves Offline Product Steve Warshaw, VP, Business Development, ACNielsen Phil Cara, Director, Yahoo! Inc. 6 Consumer Insight | Summer 2004| c o v e r s t o r y A woman goes online to research a question about her dog’s health. While surfing Yahoo!, she sees a dog food ad. Later that week, she goes to the store and encounters the same brand of dog food. She buys it. Breakthrough stuff? Absolutely. It may sound ordinary: Consumer sees ad; consumer responds. Yet in the world of e-commerce, manufacturers of consumer packaged goods have never been sure how often exposure to a product message online translates into a product purchase offline. Now they can be. Since 2002, ACNielsen and Yahoo! have been working together on a measurement tool to assess the correlation between a person’s surfing and shopping habits. This joint effort is called Yahoo! Consumer Direct— powered by ACNielsen, and for 18 months, Consumer Direct has combined the reach and technology of Yahoo! with the analytical tools of ACNielsen Homescan. The program evaluates the effectiveness of online advertising and promotions by consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies like PepsiCo, Kraft, Unilever and Nestlé. The study results are consistent—and satisfying. They indicate that online promotions can lift offline sales time after time, whether the item in question is a food, personal care or household product. Furthermore, each campaign has typically brought in more than twice the...

...Impact of advertising on consumer Abstract: this study aims to analyze the effect of advertisement on the mind of consumer. The impact of advertisement on the consumer’s cognitions, affection, purchases behaviors. Saving of time and cost Facilitate recall Introduction: The world is becoming a common market place in which people, no matter where they live, desire the same products and life style, as propounded by Levitt (1983). Any business needs to advertise and promote to attract customers. However, that doesn’t mean it can just put out company’s message and start counting the new customers. Brand and brand images could be standardized without any problem across countries. Advertising could lead to significant saving in producing advertising. According to Dahl (2005), it could also lead to saving of time and money with respect to cost of design. Most multinational companies feel that international brands should create a global image. By purchasing it, they will receive the same benefits, whether they be life-style, status, convenience or financial. Global consumer culture positioning through a recognized set of symbols can enhance meaningful advertisements (Aldenet al., 1999).Advertising and promotion affect consumers in ways we might find surprising. We need to know these effects before we launch campaign. This led to increase awareness of consumer about the product. It presumes that advertising and promotion offer a news function to consumers.

...relationship, the publisher is primarily concerned with maintaining a high-quality audience that has well defined interests or characteristics. The advertiser is primarily concerned with creating a message that will be noticed by their target audience, because they pay for the impression whether or not the user actually sees the ad. In general, the more knowledge a publisher has about a particular audience, the higher the CPM that can be charged, because the advertiser is able to more clearly know who their message is being delivered to. One prominent weakness of CPM advertising lies in the fact that the advertiser is only getting value if the user actually sees the ad. If the user doesn’t notice the ad on the page, the money the advertiser paid is wasted. Another weakness is that it is difficult for an advertiser to prove that they are getting the desired value from the advertising. Since the goals of many CPM campaigns are not...

...is a sequence of online advertising procedures done in conjunction with ACNielsen’s Homescan panel. In this process, Yahoo sets ads to target consumers, and the Homescan network is households that have elected to partake in such studies. From here households reflect back to the advertising agents after viewing a product on-line at Yahoo, and after a cool-down period of six weeks are then placed in the stores to see the purchasing power that the advertisement had on consumers that are part of the Homescan panel. The metrics of this advertising is to view the effectiveness of the ad targets, and the persuasiveness of the advertising to make consumers to want to go out and get the product. Consumer Direct used the descriptive research design. This design aims to observe and describe the usage of Yahoo without influencing the public in any way, in order to determine the effectiveness of the advertising on Yahoo. This design includes describing any behaviours, performing a case study, observing the amount of advertises being bought or look at through Yahoo, and lastly a questionnaire or presentation. The goal is to be more effective and efficient in internet advertising. Yahoo wants to target ads that costumers would want to purchase. Consumer direct is used to tailor the products to a specific audience which works only if the research of the targeted group is done effectively.

...DSMM Case: Air France Internet Marketing Name | Anushree Bishnoi | PG ID | 61410571 | 1. What are the metrics you would use to measure the success of each of the campaign that Air France has run? The key metrics that I would use for analyzing the success of each of the campaign that Air France has run are: 1. Return on Ad (ROA): ROA will hold as one the most important parameter in measuring the success of the campaign. In case the ROA is high, we will know how much would be the return on the investment (in the case it’s the charges paid for the click) of the advertisement. This will help us decide, whether we can invest in that publisher or not. 2. Rate of conversion: As can be seen from the doubleclick report, we can analyze the conversion rate to find the probability of bookings made through the volume of bookings columns. This is again a very important parameter in finding out which publisher will give you the highest rate of conversion. 3. Cost per click (CPC): The above two metrics is more to do with the result and the return on investment, but we should also keep track of the cost of our investment. I believe CPC will capture a lot of information related to it. For a publisher which gives high ROA, but also gives high CPC, we must look to bring down the cost associated with the click. 4. Click through Rate (CTR): CTR will give us the ratio of no. of clicks achieved through the number of impressions. In a case where CTR is very low, we will...

...Internet Value Chain Economics Gaining a deeper understanding of the Internet economy W hen considering the technological innovations of the past 50 years, the Internet is probably the one that has had the greatest impact on everyday life in developed economies. Nearly six out of 10 Americans now shop online and more than four out of 10 bank online. Twenty hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute, while 5 percent of all time online is spent on the social networking site, Facebook. The Internet has also changed the way in which businesses operate—today, 64 percent of C-level executives conduct six or more searches per day to locate business information. The Internet has been a source of great good—as evidenced by the role played by Internet-based mapping and communications in the relief effort following the recent Haiti earthquake. The Internet also has shown a negative side—more than 97 percent of all emails are spam, while more than 70 percent of Americans fear online identity theft and 57 percent feel that their personal privacy has been greatly diminished by the Internet.1 Behind these statistics and headlines, however, there remains a low level of understanding of how the Internet economy works. Who are the different players involved in the Internet, beyond the flagship names? How is the industry structured and how concentrated is it? How do players make money and how do revenues flow across the value chain? Is the industry attractive in terms of growth...

This paper will explore many of the challenges involved in making that transition as well as offer up possible strategies that the print media could utilize in the future. It is imperative that the content follow in line with what the medium demands, in order to flourish in the new frontier of distributing the news (Postman, p. 88). The newspaper industry as a whole has been slow to embrace the new internet based technology. They have yet to be successful in walking the line between traditional print content and the interactive multimedia demanded by online readers. In order to stay afloat in the coming years print media must adopt a more modern user interface and business model that will be viable in conjunction with online advertising standards. Advertising revenues account for the vast majority of income for newspapers, unfortunately as print circulations have declined and more readers are moving...

...same geographical area, and become one of the top ten banks in the United States. With the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008, and the peak by 2010 almost all banks were going through a tough period. Government regulations on fees and consumers were leaning towards spending less positioned the banks in a difficult situation, including BBVA Compass. With their decreasing marketing budget, the bank had less than $50 million in 2011 to achieve several different marketing goals, and the money had to be used in an efficient way. On top of these they also had other problems like going against the norm and spending a substantial amount on TV and online, drop of brand awareness after adopting a new name, low conversion rates and ad network’s target market duplication. The recommended plan of action would be increasing the level of online presence by focusing more on social media channels and digital marketing, and focusing more search engine optimization. The bank should also work with the media agency to avoid ad duplication to target markets. Introduction BBVA Compass is the fifteenth major bank in the United States with $49 billion in deposits and 767 branches in the Sunbelt region. The parent company, BBVA, was the second largest bank in Spain in 2010, and it entered the US market in 2004. BBVA Compass Bank was created through a series of mergers and acquisitions. The three primary lines of business units of the bank are retail, commercial and corporate and wealth management...

...DV Shirts Pay per Click Report DV Shirts are vendors of ‘high quality clothing for business people’. Although a credible reputation has been gained from the production of reliable clothing, David and Victoria aim to increase sales further through online advertising. This rise in sales will be engineered through ‘pay per click advertising’. What is ‘pay per click advertising’? Pay per click advertising is a system of internet marketing whereby advertisers, i.e. DV shirts, pay a fee every time their advert is clicked. Inevitably, visits to the website are bought instead of attempting to “earn” those visits organically. (Wordstream.com, 2013). This report aims to analyse the practicality of pay per click advertising for ‘DV Shirts’ by utilising the information collated by David and Victoria on the twenty day experiment with the model. How possible is the ‘perfect scenario’? (2) Figure 6 Histogram of cost per click Figure 6 Histogram of cost per click Information on the cost per click was then scrutinised. The main frequency to examine is the ‘over £2.25 to £2.50’ which has the same frequency value as other lower costs. This shows that 3 out of 20 of the days investigated lead to a cost of £2.25 to £2.50. As calculated earlier, this correlates directly with the amount of clicks, implying that the targets would only be achieved 15% of the time. This result will not be helpful in producing profits similar to the ‘perfect scenario’. Demographics Figure [ 7 ]: Ofcom...
