Notes de l'éditeur
- Consumers who purchase hotel reservations are more likely to come from Yahoo vs. the competition Consumers who complete hotel reservations are more likely to come from Yahoo sites versus competitors 68% of hotel converters visited Yahoo in 30 days prior to submitting a reservation – this is higher than converters who visited Google, AOL and Microsoft sites Yahoo Login, Mail, Search and the Homepage are the leading Yahoo sites reaching hotel reservation converters 30 days prior to conversion Yahoo Display Sites (excludes Yahoo Search) directly drive 42% of hotel reservation completes which is much higher than Google Sites (excludes Google Search), Microsoft Sites (excludes Bing Search), Facebook and AOL Sites (excludes AOL Search) Yahoo/Bing Search also drives completes for the hotel category Yahoo/Bing Search drives 42% of hotel reservation completes
- Similar to hotels, there is a delicate balance in maintaining optimal scale and performance efficiency. For example, Southwest and Delta lead in generating prospects at scale but Delta can improve it’s efficiency in the mid-funnel while Southwest should focus on the lower funnel American, United and JetBlue have lower prospect levels and can benefit from an increase in scale as well as improve it’s efficiency in the mid-funnel Delta, American and United show high efficiencies in lower funnel conversions and should focus on mid-funnel tactics in order to optimize performance JetBlue should focus its efforts across the entire funnel in order to increase scale and improve efficiency Airlines need to continually monitor their shopping funnel and pull the appropriate marketing levers to improve performance

- Frankly, our world, Yahoo’s world, the bread and butter of what we’ve done for the last decade is completely turning upside down. When Yahoo first started, there wasn’t a lot of content online. Now a consumer can’t help but be bombarded by content wherever they look. The problem has changed to there is too much content, and how do you separate the good stuff you can trust from the garbage. Technology has taken leaps and bounds forward. Internet speeds unimaginable to our homes a few years ago, are now available everywhere to our phones. Retina displays and digital cameras have made the visual web a reality. People have always loved pictures. We didn’t have the technology to efficiently deliver the photos to users. And with the shift to mobile, and consumer desensitization to “stickers on a page” kind of ads, we also have to adapt. We have to adapt to more native ad formats that actually enhance the user experience.
- The most exciting areas are Content Marketing and Native Advertising Our new products allow you to do both. Advertising seamlessly integrated into our content. Content Marketing is using your content to drive brand attributes without necessary “selling” Content Marketing is meant to be shared And you can do that in digital magazines, in stream and on tumblr.
- Lets talk first about digital magazines. Yahoo Digital Magazines are our response to the changes in the digital landscape. The conventional iterations weren’t enough. We knew we had to step back and completely rethink our media offerings. We took inspiration from the visual, social movement Creating original content with distinct editorial voice centered around consumer passion points to tell meaningful stories All with seamless brand integration that enhances the over all user experience. I think you will find them gorgeous, authoritative and unbelievably engaging. Think about a magazine – Vogue for example. Ads as interesting as content, the lines between the two begin to fade Advertising should be as good as the content. Here it can be.
- With each magazine you’ll see three things best in class content – the part that’s most important. It’s what the editorial team has done an excellent job on. We’ve made a significant investment in editors and best-in-class partners. stunning design – We wanted something that was much more visual. We wanted it to work on 3 screens. We wanted the experience to be different so you don’t click and get to another page but it opens inline – the wow factor. We believe that advertising should be as engaging as the content itself. Our digital magazines offer seamless, native advertising – that is, articles, videos and tips that are just as engaging as the stories around them. The advertising content is clearly labeled as sponsored.
- We have brought on tremendously talented editors, and we’re focusing on best in class, premium, unique content. Our editors are social savvy – developing content that is shareable and engages users in new ways. David Pogue - David Pogue is the anchor columnist for Yahoo Tech, having been groomed for the position by 13 years as the personal-technology columnist for the NY Times.

- Yahoo Food launched in January, as one of our first digital magazines. With Yahoo Food, you can pore over photos, surprising and sophisticated recipes, stories on the top food trends, and everything at-home chefs need to feel inspired.
- In January, with Food, we also launched Yahoo Tech, lead by editor David Pogue. Yahoo Tech covers not only what products to buy, but also how to use the through news, reviews, how-to’s, games coverage and more.
- And, two weeks ago, we added another magazine to our portfolio. Yahoo Movies. Yahoo Movies is a digital magazine that provides movie lovers of all kinds—from blockbuster fanatics to indie-film obsessives - with in-depth essays from top critics, interviews with Hollywood’s biggest stars, and sneak peeks of the most anticipated films. Disney Pictures was a launch sponsor for Yahoo Movies, showcasing a trailer for the inspirational film Million Dollar Arm through Yahoo Splash Ads.
- The new Yahoo Travel launched at the end of April. Yahoo Travel magazine is ASPIRATIONAL, ACCESSIBLE, & INSPIRATIONAL - FOR TRAVEL LOVERS EVERYWHERE Voice: Accessible, credible, fun Visual: Beautiful & inspirational Scale: It’s a top travel site Innovation: All new creative canvas for advertisers It is no longer a site to just check for flights or hotels, but a rich, engaging travel companion to satisfy your daily travel curiosities.
- The truly amazing think is how content appears There are three forms of content Here, we see a piece of content from one of our editors. Or it could be a piece from one of our partners.
- And next to editorial content, is brand content from Las Vegas. It fits editorially and is marked as sponsored content.
- ‘Native’ ads are integrated into the content of the magazine. Ads are inspired by the elegance and depth of the content, with articles, videos and other tips that are fun to read, and easy to share. Branding is also included on he article page.
- Our new Yahoo Splash Ads are also integrated within the design of this digital magazine, offering brands high-impact opportunities to share entertaining video content with our readers.
- Put source info here
- Native is also now available in multiple forms on Yahoo. We launched Yahoo Stream and Image Ads last year, and Yahoo Gemini earlier this year. And recently launched, new opportunities with Yahoo Gemini that continue to enhance the experience for consumers and advertisers. With new, image-rich native ads -- designed to be mobile-first. Seamlessly integrated with the content, and targeted to the right consumer to drive even better results. The new formats include larger, richer graphics and photos for brand storytelling, combined with the performance brands need. Top advertisers like Netflix are already using the new ad formats. Do these type of native advertising formats work? For Stream Ads we have seen: A CPG company reported that Yahoo Stream Ads delivered 175% more impressions 125% more clicks compared to social media ads--- at 75% lower cost.
