Mediamind, the Ad Serving Platform that Thinkdigital works with and represents in the South European Region, conducted a study in 2011 to fully comprehend the efficiency of Rich Media Ads.
The analysis shows that users exposed to rich media ads are far more likely to end up on your website to seek information about your products or complete a purchase. While rich media is a proven way to get users excited about products or services by engaging with banners, this data shows that rich media also has power to drive users to action and to your site.To quantify the value added by rich media, we compared the share of users who ended up on the website after seeing rich media versus the share of users who ended up on the site after seeing standard banners. This included site visitors who clicked on the banner, typed the URL or searched. Results show that users who have last seen a rich media ad are nearly three times more likely to browse to the advertiser’s website vs. those who have last seen a standard banner. Banners with video are truly a bonanza. Advertisers who added video to the banner boosted site visits six-fold vs. standard banners.
Rich media is also more likely to spur users to action. We compared rich media and standard banners in terms of the likelihood of users clicking on the banner and ending up on the website (excluding accidental clicks that did not result in a website visit). Results show that users are four times more likely to click and visit the advertiser site after watching rich media ads vs. standard banners and nine times more likely after viewing rich media with video.
According to comScore, many site visitors arrive there based simply on banner exposure, without clicking on the ad. This is a testament to the branding power of display banners—users retain the advertising message and independently visit the site to explore further.Results of our analysis show that even for visits generated without a click, rich media is far more effective than standard banners. Users who viewed rich media are 1.7 times more likely visit the advertiser’s site vs. standard banners, while users who viewed rich media with video are 1.9 times more likely.
Users who Dwell, Convert!An increase in Dwell rate from 20% to 35% translated to an increase in conversion from 0.6% to 1.5%, an increase of 150%!
I will now show a number of successful Case studies of campaigns that have used Rich Media to attract various actions from Users: from Direct Clicks to Post-Click Action.
