Results that Measure Up

by Peles August 26 , 2009 04:39

Integrated Results-Based Approach to Online Advertising

A version in German:Results that Measure Up DE.DOC (63.50 kb)    

 Don’t you wish someone could put a realistic price tag on finding new leads or customers?

While we are preparing a wish list… Wouldn’t you like to get a better handle on ROI, or knowing how much revenue in certain market segments can be attributed to the campaign? Or even better yet, how would you like to be able to analyze price sensitivity in different market segments based on online information while the campaign is going on?

 

Integrated results-based approach is about squeezing every possible benefit from every dollar spent – quickly and intelligently. In order to optimize advertising campaigns and achieve ambitious ROI goals, advertisers must have access to real-time feedback, measurement and instant analysis of all their online marketing activities.

 

Define the road to meaningful results

This approach is based on the fundamental understanding and definition of the real value that a customer, lead or click represents. That means setting a realistic “price tag” on the desired result, or conversion, whatever it may be – a new lead, customer, sale, click, or registration. At the same time, we must bear in mind that this price tag varies across geographical regions, market segments, media types and even promotional offers.

 

Measure to optimize the process

The focus is on measurement and understanding that everything is, and should be, measured. The optimization process is based completely on the measurable results received from across all the different advertising platforms, on the different processes that make up the conversion value chain – starting with clicks, leads, registrations and even offline upgrades and up sell opportunities. This way, every advertising dollar is optimized intelligently. So before, during and, of course, after the campaign, advertisers have a real handle on the value of every conversion and know how much revenue in specific market segments can be attributed to the campaign. Armed with that, ROI objectives are clearly in sight.

 

Real added- value comes with integration

Results-based online advertising is only as good as the breadth of the online tools available, and how they are leveraged together. Data is combined from all advertising platforms: SEM, Banner ads and emails to shorten the learning curve and build value faster. Knowledge gained from any one platform is immediately made available to ongoing campaigns on other platforms and rapidly optimized to guarantee continuously improved results.

 

The final frontier: integration with CRM

With full integration with existing CRM system, the campaign comes full circle to become a sophisticated marketing tool that enables targeting market segments, such as discounts to first-time buyers, as well as opening a plethora of cross-sell opportunities. The result: total control of the sales cycle – from the very first impression all the way to the desired conversion. Control that is always focused on positive ROI.

 

 

 


Heating up conversion rates on the Landing Page

by DMG Team July 14 , 2009 07:35

By Robbie Atar, Director of client services

Functionality is the major element for creating a Landing Page (LP) rather than its looks, as it determines whether or not
a click will become an actual sale, or whether a potential buyer will decide to fill in his details or just to leave
the page.

As the most critical stage of the campaign, the LP generates the actual results, thus should ensure the higher possible Conversion rates.
Hereby are several recommended principals for Landing Page creation:

1.     Optimize the loading speed
This is a crucial step in the process: the faster the LP loads - the lower your bounce rate will go!
An outstanding design that takes time to open up will probably won’t be able to keep the potential buyer to see your design (or at least complete the conversion process). 

2.     Define the Objectives for the Landing Page
the content of the page should be determined by the desired results:
generating leads, product acquisition, brand/product awareness, etc.

e.g. A: for online acquisition results, the page should comprise of the minimum necessary details for the actual purchase – to make it quickly and effectively without any hassles to the buyer.

e.g. B: If you want to direct the leads to a calling center, in order to improve their scoring, you can add more qualifying questions, which may have a direct effect on the lead's Value for both the calling center and cost.
On another case, when a higher volume of leads needs to be generated for a huge calling center, it is recommended to “untie” the qualification fields.

3.    Ensure the best possible design of text and structure
The major info should be positioned on the "heating" areas of the page, to increase visibility and attention of the users for maximum responsiveness.

e.g.: when the text orientation is from left to right, the
"heat (and hitting) area" is at the upper left side of the page. All major messages should be located there.
An additional info will be located at other areas. Again – make sure to keep it on the heat area. The attached Heat Map demonstrates this concept:

"Hot"/ High hit areas – in red color 
"Cold"/Low hit areas- in blue color


 
4.     Adapt a proper size and format of the LP according to the targeted audiences.
e.g.: enlarging the  size of the fields to be completed for youngsters.

5.     Create a sense of urgency in the promotional offer
a sense of urgency can be made by limiting the time of the suggested offer. e.g.:
"you have 22 more minutes to join"….

And last but not least, a continuous testing should be made throughout the campaign, and Landing Pages are regularly tweaked according to test results. 

Too many banners kill the performance

by DMG Team July 6 , 2009 08:07
 

By Rachael Alter, Director of Publisher Dev.

 Don’t overpuff your Stuff!  
Too many banners kill the performance
 
Just like an over puffed bodybuilder who exerts all his energy to maximize his muscle mass, but in fact is undernourished and weak; similarly occurs when a website wallpapers on his banners and colossally increases the No. of impressions, but actually produces poor results: low CTR and CNV rates.

Therefore, the balance between a given space and proportionate amount of advertising should be maintained in good taste. This way Publishers will be able to create higher revenues from their commodities by maintaining real value for the advertiser.   

Don't Judge a Banner by its Cover!

by Inbar June 25 , 2009 10:47

By Inbar Chap, co-CEO

Don't Judge a Banner by its Cover!
http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=107890

Like any advertising and media vehicle, sound creative strategy and effective execution are key to results-based campaigns. This applies to both banners and landing pages.

In order to optimize online advertising campaigns and achieve business objectives, advertisers need to think out-of-the box in every facet of the creative elements. I'd like to share with you the nine ways we judge and deploy creative content to boost results and improve ROI.

1. Interact with your readers Banners and landing pages should be inviting and induce readers to click their way in. Users are drawn to well-designed, interactive banners that encourage them to take action. This increases the CTR (Click Through Rate) and contributes directly to the campaign's bottom line results.

2. Diversify design and approach It is best to prepare several sets of banners with different color palettes and designs so that effective testing and evaluation can be conducted throughout the campaign. Different designs, colors, platforms and sizes yield different results - so several approaches should be tried and tested. Also, this enables banners to be tested across several different sites. All these parameters should be evaluated thoroughly so that the results can be used intelligently to boost the bottom line.

3. Don't judge a banner by its cover A good banner is not necessarily the most "attractive." In online advertising "artwork" is judged by what works to get the reader to do what you want. Your banner doesn't have to win a design award or hang in an art museum to work for you. Remember: the focus is on measurable results.

4. Match the creative to the payment model Again, always focus on the goal. Creative content must be adapted to the user and provide the relevant information needed to achieve the business objective. For example, on CPC campaigns we want to better qualify clicks. If you use a CPC (Cost-per-Click) campaign to sell tickets to a concert, then the banner should not maximize clicks but rather offer relevant information toward purchasing tickets - making the clicks are effective. Perhaps the CTR of that campaign will be lower than if the banner said "For more information on the concert, click here" instead of "Best concert in town - click here to get your ticket." But based on the payment model chosen, it is the right choice. If the CPA (Cost-per-Action) or CPL (Cost-per-Lead) models were being used, a combination of banners with different content may prove to be more effective.

5. Focus on the conversion Don't be fooled into thinking that the CTR is a direct reflection of the conversion rate. High CTR maybe not mean a successful campaign and a low CTR may not mean it was unsuccessful. For example, if a bank looking for new business posts a banner with a really sexy image, it will probably draw a lot of hits to the new account landing page. The bank may get a high CTR, but how many accounts will be opened? Remember: in the end it is the conversion that counts.
6. Speak in multiple languages Speak to the audience -- literally -- by making sure the language and call to action in the banners and landing pages are suitable to local audiences - where campaigns are running and culturally attuned to the audience. On the other hand, it is worthwhile to try banners in different languages to make them stand out on the page. For example, on a site that is completely in Spanish, an English banner may in fact draw more attention.
This is yet another measure that can help you improve and perfect banners based on the results you measure throughout the campaign.

7. Call users to action Well-placed keywords that call the user to action have a better chance of directing users to your landing page - and leave nothing to guesswork. Clear instructions, like "click here," "continue," or "register" help to lead users along the path you determine.

8. Set specific and predetermined time periods Time-limited offers and promotions are an effective way to invite the user toward the action you wish and can compel users to respond faster. For example, establish a "count down" period that the offer is valid, or eligibility for a certain prize or gift.

9. Keep it new and enticing Be bold. Don't be afraid to try something you have never tried before, rather that sticking with something that everyone liked and never change it. Old banners become background very fast, and stop standing out on the page. Upgrade and change them regularly to keep it new and keep it changing. Innovation is part of the game. T

These tips are a good starting point to keeping your online advertising creative up to date, relevant and targeted on results. And a great way to be sure you are maximizing your online advertising investment.

Maintaining the focus for bottom line results

by DMG Team June 15 , 2009 02:59

By Moran Treiser, Sales Manager 

Maintaining the focus- a way of thinking in online advertising
When we think of online advertising there are a lot of parameters to consider, but the main question is – which ones are the most important to us as advertisers?In the economic climate we have today, every dollar counts and everything is measurable, which is a very good thing to the ones who know what to focus on, and a very bad thing to the ones who think everything is important in an equal manner. In our day to day work, we often meet advertisers who know what they want to achieve, but for some reason measure the wrong parameters. One of the most important things to remember in online advertising is that if a certain parameter doesn’t have any correlation to the achievement of a certain goal, it shouldn’t be considered as relevant to the marketing activity.

Traffic vs. Conversion
A client that has a clear CPA goal- whether in the Casual Gaming, Mobile content, or the Lead generation industry, should always consider his eCPA as the most important parameter to measure, and to judge the other parameters by.
The second important parameter, from an online marketing point of view is the eCPM of the campaign which starts the whole conversion chain. These two parameters are in correlation to one another and therefore should be considered when running an online campaign. However, A client with a clear CPA goal, shouldn't consider the CTR important for this goal. The CTR is very important in the matter of how much traffic is getting into the website and how much interest can the campaign raise, but to the specific goal of the campaign – the eCPA – it is irrelevant. For example lets take a mobile content advertiser who has a CPA goal of $8 . He is paying an average of $0.50 CPM during his online campaign. In one case, the CTR is %0.4 and the eCPA is $7.50, and on the other case the CTR is %2 , and the eCPA is $12. Which case is better for this advertiser ? the case where he drives a lot of traffic to the website but the conversions percentage within the site is low, or the case where he drives less traffic but maintains a high conversions percentage in the site ? The point is that when we measure the final result, the data we get for the parameters along the way are not important if we can't connect them to the final goal.

 Impressions vs. Conversion
A second parameter is the amount of impressions while running an online campaign on a dCPM model. Although the campaign is being optimized according to the CPA goal, some advertisers would consider a great deal of importance to the amount of impressions yielded during the campaign. Again, a parameter which is irrelevant to the goal of the campaign.Lets use our mobile content advertiser for an another example. The CPA goal is again $8, and the amount of impressions he is supposed to yield during his campaign is 12 million impressions with an eCPM of $0.40. Again lets imagine two cases. On one case he pays $0.40 eCPM and gets 12 million impressions, however his eCPA is $10. On the second case he pays an eCPM of $0.60 (possible because of the use of dCPM payment model), and receives only 10 million impressions but achieves an eCPA of $7. Again the question is asked, which case is better ? does the amount of impressions and the CPM price really matters while trying to achieve a certain eCPA ? While trying to achieve our advertiser's CPA goals we sometime encounter different situations where we might need to increase our CPM payments, increase the CPA payouts in order to compete with other advertisers over the media. "Out of the box" thinking is required in our optimization and campaign management strategies; in order to get the most important mission complete – achieve our client's CPA goals

At the end of the day, Everything is dynamic, and everything is flexible but one thing remains constant – the bottom line results.   

Technology challenges of ad serving and exchanging

by DMG Team June 7 , 2009 04:31
By Gilad Helerman, CTO 
As I stated in my previous post[g1]  , the numbers that we are talking about, in online advertising are huge. As an example, the Google ad network displays more then 6 BILLION impressions per day, which is at least 700,000 banners each second!, and they are not the largest network in the world. Right Media displays more! This poses technological challenges in several areas:
Delivery, DNS resolving, computation power (for the exchange ad servers mainly) and of course storage for the huge data collected along the way. Other then that, there is a huge challenge in the user interface area, in which the ad server needs to provide its users with analyzed data and reporting and control mechanisms to operate and run its campaigns.
Another technological challenge is the constant, significant change in demand which results in sudden surges of demand which might be followed by an abrupt slump. The final hurdle, and in my opinion, the most difficult and important one is the integration challenge, meaning:
How do we make a platform that can take parts of its most basic logic from external modules and how do we introduce and incorporate new technologies that appear each and every day?

This problem is in the very heart of the industry as it is currently one of the barriers of entry for new technologies which are major growth catalysts in this rapidly changing market. If the common ad servers does not know to integrate and use these new technologies easily and efficiently, they will have to either develop these abilities by themselves in order to keep up with the market and the competition, or leave their customers with an inferior product. In this highly competitive market, this is a huge risk.
