For over 2 decades, companies have sought to exploit the benefits of the web given the immediacy it affords marketing. For years, display banners were thought to be an amazing new marketing tool given the limited number of competitors. Unfortunately, there wasn’t available data on how well banners worked, but the dawn of the analytics age changed all that.
Big data has given a great deal of insight in the effectiveness of digital marketing, making re-targeting and funnel strategies the norm. Sophisticated data systems can even track how consumers respond to ads. But something’s changed. Now, those very same consumers have tools at hand to help them avoid these ads – both naturally and through the usage of ad-blocking software. That very same big data machine is telling us a concerning story – a 0.06% average click through rate and over half of users finding digital banners untrustworthy suggests times are a ‘changin’. Still, this doesn’t mean those banner ads have to be completely thrown out the window. Specific channels, such as Linkedin sponsored updates, generate an impressive return on investment.
What are the first steps?
It is important for companies to look at their digital display budgets very carefully and make sure they are getting the best use of their money. Whether digital display marketing is worth it, is a serious question they must consider. There are many different ways to implement digital advertisements, some are proven, and others wasteful. With so much content on the web, banners are easily overlooked and it may be time for your company to retire its digital display budget and move on to greener pastures.
However, to answer whether digital display marketing is necessary, each company will need to analyze the data and decide if it is a good option for them. Make sure you don’t make the mistake of jumping to conclusions because you don’t fully understand what the numbers mean. Because we at Venuiti covet data, we’ve spent the time to field a staff of data crazy strategists who are looking for ways to take the norm and make it unique again.
