Und Banner-Ads wirken doch…
Jörg von Kirschbaum am 25. Januar 2011 um 16:57Sehr oft höre ich von Werbungtreibenden, dass Banner-Ads für sie nicht interessant seien. Mit Click-Through-Raten um 0,1% wäre das uninteressant.
Es lag auf der Hand, einmal einen kontrollierten Test einer Banner-Kampagne durchzuführen und dabei auch die Offline-Verkäufe zu messen. Yahoo hat eine solche Studie von einem Forscherteam durchführen lassen. Das Ergebnis:
In a paper co-authored with summer intern and MIT PhD student Randall Lewis, Reiley found that the online display advertising increased total revenues by approximately 5% for those users exposed to the ads, with 93% of the total effect happening in offline sales.
They also observed online ads to have a large impact on sales even when the ads are not clicked: 78% of the increase in sales came from those who viewed, but did not click, the ads. The positive effects of advertising on sales persisted for a period of weeks after the campaign ended.
The ads had a statistically significant effect both on the probability of purchase and on the average purchase amount, with about ¾ of the treatment effect coming through increases in the average purchase amount.
Lastly, the team found evidence suggesting that the effects of advertising may be countercyclical, in the sense that advertising’s impact was greatest in weeks when total sales were smallest.
Und Banner-Ads wirken doch… nur anders.
