Latest SalesLink Study Shows Brand.net Drove Offline Sales, Outperformed Other Online Media, and Produced 200 Percent ROI for an Ad Age 50 Brand
SAN MATEO, Calif. – Brand.net, the online advertising network for Brand advertisers, released its latest SalesLink results, which demonstrate that a well executed Web-wide Brand campaign delivers significant offline sales and media ROI.
SalesLink measures the impact of online Brand campaigns on offline sales. In this most recent study, Brand.net measured the results of a Q4 2008 campaign for an Ad Age 50 CPG Brand and found:
* The online campaign drove increased offline sales
* Sales of competitors products declined during the period
* Brand.net drove the highest ROI of the campaign, over 200 percent, dramatically outperforming the other media included in the campaign
“These results confirm what we know from our many years at Yahoo! working with top Brands: a well planned, targeted and executed Brand campaign delivers measurable impact online and offline, including a real lift in offline sales,” said Brand.net CEO and Cofounder, Elizabeth Blair. “In any economic environment, smart marketers want to measure the ROI of their Brand campaigns. This is particularly challenging for Brand advertisers, who want to use the Web as a major advertising medium, but who generate the vast majority of their revenue offline – nearly 90% in 2008.”
Until now, online Brand advertisers were limited to expensive, portal-only measurement alternatives. To address this market need, Brand.net partnered with Nielsen and ComScore to create SalesLink, a turn-key measurement solution. Using SalesLink, for the first time Brands can cost-effectively measure the impact of their entire, Web-wide online campaign on offline sales. Additional results from this recent study can be found at www.brand.net/saleslink-results.
“The ability to quantify ROI is critical for leading edge Brand advertisers,” said ThinkEquity Partner and Sr. Internet Analyst, William Morrison. “Results like this will help major Brands continue to move advertising online to follow their audience; the Brand.net team’s experience and Brand focused platform positions them well to capitalize on this shift.”
“Brand.net lets marketers use the full Internet as a major Brand advertising medium. This requires three key things: access to the highest quality inventory; best in class campaign management capabilities; and detailed results measurement and go-forward optimization,” said Blair. “We are proud to be working with the biggest names in consumer package goods and retail to prove that online Brand advertising drives sales.”
