Brand Impact Study shows advertisers the changes in products viewed within retailer websites as a result of their online campaigns
BOSTON – Advertisers who wonder what impact their campaigns are having — that is, all of them — are getting a new tool. Brand Impact Study from OwnerIQ, the inventor of Path to Purchase Media, will enable advertisers to see how their campaigns affect consumer demand within retailer websites.
“This should be available in the 2.0 version of the tool later this year.”
OwnerIQ partners with some of the largest e-commerce and transactional websites used by consumers along the path to purchase, and creates innovative targeting solutions for advertisers. Its Retailer Branded Audience product has been uniquely enabling advertisers to target the website audiences of premium retailers — giving brands a unique way to influence sell-through in their retail channel with their online ad dollars. The Brand Impact Study enables advertisers to measure the effectiveness of their Retailer Branded Audience campaign on the browsing behavior of shoppers within that specific retailer’s website channel.
“Retailer websites are one of the most commonly used resources by consumers when performing product research,” says Jay Habegger, CEO and co-founder at OwnerIQ. “Within these environments consumers are exploring their various brand options and developing their consideration list. The Brand Impact Study will show advertisers whether or not their advertising was effective in influencing this behavior.”
The tool, which is available at no charge for every Retailer Branded Audience advertiser campaign, denotes the likelihood of a person who was exposed to the advertiser’s campaign to visit that advertiser’s brand pages within a specific retailer’s website (that is, a Retailer Branded Audience website), compared to the likelihood of a visit from a person who was not exposed to the campaign.
A solution of this nature can have great impact with advertisers and agencies, especially those with shopper marketing disciplines. “The path to purchase isn’t linear, it’s a navigation.” said Scott Shamberg, SVP at dynamic retail agency TPN. “That navigation gets more complex every day as brands embrace digital touch points. We have to invest in methods that ensure engagement and can influence our targets as they approach the buy. It’s critical to have a solution that lets us measure the impact of that influence.”
Habegger said initial client feedback to the tool has been extremely positive. “Based on initial advertiser feedback, we are working on a feature that will allow us to benchmark browsing behavior on an advertiser’s brand against their competitive set,” he said. “This should be available in the 2.0 version of the tool later this year.”
