Examples of online advertising include contextual ads on search engine results pages, banner ads, advertising networks and e-mail marketing, including e-mail spam. A major result of online advertising is information and content that is not limited by geography or time. The emerging area of interactive advertising presents fresh challenges for advertisers who have hitherto adopted an interruptive strategy. Online video directories for brands are a good example of interactive advertising. These directories complement television advertising and allow the viewer to view the commercials of a number of brands. If the advertiser has opted for a response feature, the viewer may then choose to visit the brand’s website, or interact with the advertiser through other touch points such as email, chat or phone. Response to brand communication is instantaneous, and conversion to business is very high. This is because in contrast to conventional forms of interruptive advertising, the viewer has actually chosen to see the commercial.

Social media uses web-based technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogues. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content."[1] Businesses also refer to social media as consumer-generated media (CGM). Social media utilization is believed to be a driving force in defining the current time period as the Attention Age. A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value. Distinction from industrial media People gain information, education, news, etc., by electronic media and print media. Social media are distinct from industrial or traditional media, such as newspapers, television, and film. They are relatively inexpensive and accessible to enable anyone (even private individuals) to publish or access information, compared to industrial media, which generally require significant resources to publish information.

  • Evaluation of Advertising Campaigns on Social Media Networks
    sustainability Article Evaluation of Advertising Campaigns on Social Media Networks Jurgita Raudeliunien¯ e˙ ID , Vida Davidaviˇciene,˙ Manuela Tvaronaviˇciene˙ * ID and Laimonas Jonuška Department of Business Technologies and Entrepreneurship, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, 10221 Vilnius, Lithuania; [email protected] (J.R.); [email protected] (V.D.); [email protected] (L.J.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +370-687-83944 Received: 19 March 2018; Accepted: 23 March 2018; Published: 27 March 2018 Abstract: As the virtual environment is constantly changing, not only users’ informational and knowledge needs but also the means and channels of communication with customers applied by organizations change. There is a noticeable trend to move more and more advertising campaigns to social media networks because of the opportunities they provide to organizations and users, which results in the ever-increasing popularity of social media networks and a number of their users. Such a transition is explained by one of the main objectives organizations have: to inform their customers in an appropriate way and receive feedback on social media networks, which is difficult when traditional advertising channels and means are applied. Since advertising campaigns on social media networks are evolving rapidly, their assessment factors and methods, which receive controversial opinions in both scientific literature and practice, change too. Researchers assess and interpret the factors that influence the effectiveness of advertising campaigns on social media networks differently. Thus, a problem arises: how should we evaluate which approach is more capable of accurately and fully reflecting and conveying reality? In this research, this problem is studied by connecting approaches of different researchers.

  • Advertising Media and Web Metrics
    9 ADVERTISING MEDIA AND WEB METRICS Introduction Metrics covered in this chapter: Advertising: Impressions, Effective Reach and Effective Frequency Gross Rating Points, and Share of Voice Opportunities-to-See Impressions, Pageviews, and Hits Cost per Thousand Impressions (CPM) Rates Clickthrough Rates Reach/Net Reach and Cost per Impression, Cost per Click, Frequency and Cost of Acquisition Frequency Response Functions Visits, Visitors, and Abandonment Advertising is the cornerstone of many marketing strategies. The positioning and com- munications conveyed by advertising often set the tone and timing for many other sales and promotion efforts. Advertising is not only the defining element of the marketing mix, but it is also expensive and notoriously difficult to evaluate. This is because it is not easy to track the incremental sales associated with advertising decisions. For many mar- keters, media metrics are particularly confusing. A command of the vocabulary involved in this field is needed to work with media planners, buyers, and agencies. A strong understanding of media metrics can help marketers ensure that advertising budgets are spent efficiently and directed toward a specific aim. In the first part of this chapter, we discuss media metrics that reveal how many people may be exposed to an advertising campaign, how often those people have an 263 opportunity to see the ads, and the cost of each potential impression. Toward that end, we introduce the vocabulary of advertising metrics, including such terms as impres- sions, exposures, OTS, rating points, GRPs, net reach, effective frequency, and CPMs. In the second part of this chapter, we focus on metrics used in Web-based marketing efforts.

  • How to Get 100000 Downloads to My App How to Bootstrap Your App Marketing: 100,000 Downloads in 24 Hours
    how to get 100000 downloads to my app How to bootstrap your app marketing: 100,000 downloads in 24 hours. Mobile app stores are so saturated that trying to get noticed, even for great apps, is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive. How an indie dev or just a poor man budget should approach it? Let me share my story on how we are trying to hit 100,000 downloads in 24 hours with a start- up budget. Dogfight is a multiplayer World War I flight simulator for iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Windows 8. I’m very attached to it, for one very simple reason: I programmed the whole thing all by myself. I began programming it on 2009 as a hobby and throughout the years it grew from a horrible airplane with a flat terrain into a community of millions of players that protect zeppelins, take over air fields and switch from airplanes to tanks and then go all Counter Strike style as walking soldiers. Dogfight is therefore my little baby. My Dogfight alter ego, Zuperman, has spent countless sleepless hours improving it, listening to existing players and contributing to its forum. (Example of 13 pages post with feedback: http://www.dogfightplay.com/index.php/forum/2-gossip/35918-what-you-want-me-to-do-for-the-next-dogfight. It has paid off. When you step into the game, you will notice that chivalry is the norm. The first problem when marketing anything, is that you need a good product. Without it, you simply need a miracle for your campaign to succeed.
