Allocating marketing budgets in the most efficient way remains one of the key
challenges for any marketing executive. Especially in cases of online pure plays such
as social networks, the trade-off between online channels (display advertising and
search engine marketing) versus classic communication (television, radio, print) has
been fervently discussed during the last decade. In practice, online channels are often
being favored for their direct accountability in terms of cost per click. To prove the
actual value of various channels, the authors present a marketing mix modeling case
study examining the business impact of various communication channels and the role
of other external factors that influence usage of the website.

Can Old Media enhance New Media

  • 1. Can Old Media Enhance New Media? How Traditional Advertising Pays off for an Online Social Network Markus Pfeiffer mpfeiffer@ vivaldipartners.com Markus Zinnbauer mzinnbauer@ vivaldipartners.com Allocating marketing budgets in the most efficient way remains one of the key challenges for any marketing executive. Especially in cases of online pure plays such as social networks, the trade-off between online channels (display advertising and search engine marketing) versus classic communication (television, radio, print) has been fervently discussed during the last decade. In practice, online channels are often being favored for their direct accountability in terms of cost per click. To prove the actual value of various channels, the authors present a marketing mix modeling case study examining the business impact of various communication channels and the role of other external factors that influence usage of the website.

In contrast, print and poster both show weak efficiency levels and cannot significantly increase a Web site’s traffic. Overall, we found that classical advertising with a clear focus on TV clearly pays off and outperforms pure search-engine marketing with regards to generating new registrations.
