Slightly More Green From Black Friday Shoppers

noreply@blogger.com (sgb media group) — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 16:06:00 +0000

A recent Maritz Poll found that 37 percent of respondents plan to shop on the day after Thanksgiving, vs. last year's 34 percent who said they would shop on Black Friday. Those who plan to shop on Black Friday say they will spend $790 overall on their holiday purchases, compared to $637 for all shoppers combined.

According to the poll, the overall average spend this holiday season will be $637, down 10 percent from 2006. One-quarter of all respondents said they would spend less this year, with 50 percent citing "less money to spend this year" as the primary reason.

Respondents with household incomes of $100,000 or more, says the report, will shop at significantly higher levels (45 percent) on Black Friday than those in the lowest income group of less than $25,000 (30 percent).

The generational implications of these Black Friday shoppers looks like this:

59 percent of Gen Y respondents plan to shop
46 percent of Gen X will be there
Only 23 percent of Boomers
And 21 percent of the Silent Generation
Gloria Park Bartolone, vice president, Maritz Research's Retail Group, says "... Black Friday shoppers are looking for discounts, and retailers have already started slashing prices... If (the) discounts appeal to Gen X, Gen Y and those with larger household incomes... (it) could make for a better start to what might be a 'blue' Christmas for retailers."

MOM SURFS THE WEB SURPRISINGLY OFTEN

noreply@blogger.com (sgb media group) — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 09:39:00 +0000

Advertisers should integrate search engine marketing to reach moms planning online and offline purchases, vacations, and more...

SAN JOSE, Calif. – August 21, 2007 – DoubleClick Performics (www.performics.com), the performance marketing division of DoubleClick Inc., today unveiled data resulting from a search usage study targeting the “moms” segment and completed in cooperation with Microsoft and ROI Research, “Searcher Moms – A Search Behavior and Usage Study.” The data illustrate heavy search engine usage in support of online purchases, offline purchases, coordinating travel and many other planning activities among moms.

“Although we suspected much of what the study uncovered, we gained a much better understanding of just how much moms rely on search engines to accomplish a wide range of tasks, literally on a daily basis,” said Stuart Larkins, vice president of search for DoubleClick Performics. “Of the nearly 1,000 moms surveyed, 89 percent use the Internet at least twice/day, and 90 percent have been using it for more than seven years. A whopping 86 percent of respondents said search engines are the most efficient way to find information.”

Other interesting findings of the study include:

o 70 percent use search engines to gather information before making any online purchase
o 57 percent use search engines to gather information before making any offline purchase
o 64 percent use search engines to find out where to purchase products offline
o With regard to purchases made in the eight product categories included in the study:
o 92 percent said search engines were helpful in providing valuable information prior to
purchasing
o 79 percent said search engines were helpful in providing valuable information prior to
purchasing offline specifically
o Regarding consumer packaged goods, respondents reported using search engines:
o To compare prices (72 percent)
o To find retail locations (71 percent)
o To gather product information (71 percent)

“Manufacturers and marketers targeting this audience through any kind of advertising campaign should be sureto integrate a well planned Search campaign. Sixty-four percent of women reported using a search engine to gather more information after seeing an advertisement,” says Scott Haiges, President of ROI Research Inc. DoubleClick Performics has prepared an overview of the study’s key findings. Those interested in a copy or people wishing to ask questions regarding the research can contact DoubleClick Performics at ksmith@preturn.com or mseverin@doubleclick.com.

Microsoft’s Research Manager Peiwen Li (Pavan Lee) presented an overview of these findings Monday August 20 at Search Engine Strategies San Jose as part of the “Searcher Behavior Research Update.”

LinkShare and Overstock.com Test New Search Optimizer Link Structure to Improve Advertisers’ Search Results

noreply@blogger.com (sgb media group) — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 01:37:00 +0000

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LinkShare, a leading pay-per-action marketing network, has announced it is testing a new link structure with Overstock.com intended to give advertisers natural search benefits to enhance their ranking on Google and other search engines. LinkShare's new Search Optimizer link structure is designed to ensure advertisers that potential customers will find the right path to Overstock.com.

"LinkShare is always testing new and different ways to enhance the advertising experience for users, advertisers, and publishers," said Steve Denton, President of LinkShare. “Our plan is to introduce the new link structure we are testing with Overstock.com to clients worldwide in the fourth-quarter.”

Search engines come in several flavors, but they all trawl the Web to find relevant websites. This 'natural' approach uses the intrinsic link structure of the Web to rank websites according to relevance. LinkShare’s new link architecture is structured to ensure that Google and other engines credit all client links to their domain.

LinkShare publishers are now able to change out their Overstock.com links that currently redirect through LinkShare's servers and link directly to Overstock.com. The new links from LinkShare are scheduled for general availability following the test with Overstock.com.

Overstock.com first selected LinkShare as its affiliate service provider in 2002. LinkShare provides Overstock.com publishers with a single interface to check all sales statistics on a real-time basis. Overstock.com publishers also have access to monthly statements and reports that detail impressions, click-throughs, sales, and commissions.

"We are looking forward to these test results,” says Patrick Byrne, Chief Executive Officer of Overstock.com. "We welcome and appreciate innovations like LinkShare’s new link architecture where Overstock.com and its customers stand to benefit.”

About LinkShare Corporation

LinkShare Corporation provides ecommerce businesses with a vast, high quality pay-per-action marketing network, along with expert consultative services and patented technology. LinkShare's cost-efficient pay per action (PPA) affiliate, search and lead generation campaigns acquire new customers, increase revenue and drive results.

Universal Pictures is using the new ad format to promote The Bourne Ultimatum,
NEW YORK Internet banner ads are a story of the haves and have-nots. At the top end of the market live highly interactive rich media units with full video capability, while at the lower end reside more uninteresting units limited by file size constraints.DoubleClick hopes to change that with the introduction of a Web banner unit called the "teaser" ad, which allows marketers to create cheap banner ads that include about 10 seconds of auto-play video.While not the full rich media units that typically occupy about a third of an online banner buy, they will allow agencies to build more creative executions for the rest of the campaign, said Chris Young, evp of rich media at DoubleClick. While the new ad will cost more than a standard unit with a 30k file limit, it will cost half as much as a full rich media execution, he said."It's time to take creativity to the next level," Young said. "We're going to begin to change the rules of online ad banners."Once an afterthought in an Internet ad market dominated by search listings, the banner is a keen focus of attention as brand advertisers shift spending online. Gaining a foothold in display advertising drove several recent online deals, including Google's $3.1 billion agreement to buy DoubleClick and Microsoft's $6 billion purchase of aQuantive.Young said the teaser format would help make the bulk impressions more compelling to consumers and advertisers—and more valuable.Universal Pictures is using the new ad format to promote The Bourne Ultimatum, showing a quick 10-second trailer in the unit, which then gives users the ability to click through to view the full trailer from the movie's Web site. A typical low-end execution would have only shown a static image, while one on the high end would let users watch the full preview and other clips from within the unit."All the creatives are always complaining about the file size" limits, Young said. "They say, 'I'm limited to 30k. You want me to cut through the clutter, but how can I do that when my file size is so small?'"

DOUBLECLICK PERFORMICS EXPANDS AFFILIATE MARKETING SUITE, OFFER SELF MANAGED OPTION FOR EMERGING ADVERTISERS AND OUTSOURCED PROGRAM MANAGERS

MIAMI, FL – July 9, 2007 – DoubleClick Performics (www.performics.com), the performance marketing division of DoubleClick Inc., today unveiled AffiliateDirect at Affiliate Summit in Miami. Now, for the first time, emerging online retailers and program managers not associated with DoubleClick Performics can license the company’s
industry leading affiliate marketing technology and access the DoubleClick Performics Affiliate Network.

“Full-service affiliate marketing continues to be a core business for DoubleClick Performics, but now smaller advertisers and those with a dedicated affiliate manager can use our technology and access our affiliate network,” said Chris Henger, vice president of affiliate marketing at DoubleClick Performics. “Advertisers can scale and enhance the affiliate marketing channel effectively with AffiliateDirect.”

DoubleClick Performics beta tested AffiliateDirect from December 2006 through June 1, 2007. The beta test confirmed that the core technology, previously used only by larger advertisers and internal DoubleClick Performics program managers, proved user friendly for smaller advertisers and external consultants managing multiple programs.
“Boltz Furniture generated new sales immediately upon launching our Affiliate Marketing program with DoubleClick Performics,” said Jeff White, managing partner at Boltz, LLC, a beta advertiser and AffiliateDirect client. “The launch process was simple, and the channel has already proven to effectively drive growth for Boltz.com.”

AffiliateDirect encompasses a quality network, actively managed by a dedicated team of affiliate marketing experts. Advertisers of all sizes can access the DoubleClick Performics Affiliate Network and utilize the same technology that powers DoubleClick Performics’ large, full-service affiliate marketing programs.

“I have worked with Performics on multiple clients over the years and would recommend them as a top network for any serious affiliate program,” said Brook Schaaf, of Schaaf Consulting which manages the InTheSwim affiliate program and others with AffiliateDirect. “DoubleClick Performics has great technology, a great
reputation, and one of the largest affiliate footprints (number of productive affiliates in the network).”

AffiliateDirect enables advertisers to manage, all aspects of their affiliate marketing programs, including attracting, reaching and paying publishers and tracking and reporting on performance.

“DoubleClick Performics’ Affiliate Marketing platform provides our agency and clients with reliable tracking and reporting,” said Peter Figueredo, CEO and co-founder of NET Exponent, an online performance marketing agency, “I have been impressed with their willingness to listen to our suggestions and implement
improvements that will help us drive better results for our clients.”

DoubleClick Performics pioneered the concept of full-service affiliate marketing when it was founded in 1998. The company was the first to provide advertisers with a program management solution, network and technology. DoubleClick Performics is also a leading provider of search marketing services and technologies with capabilities in paid search, local marketing solutions and natural search optimization.
