24/7 Real Media reveals launch of ‘Search Re-Targeting’ and the results of the first live trial
Together, search and display advertising now account for 80% of all digital marketing, however advertisers have so far not been able to link the two. As a result most display advertising targets people on the basis of where they are, rather than who they are, whilst Search only gives advertisers one chance to convert a sale, with typical click-through rates of four per cent.
To address this problem, Managing Director of 24/7 Real Media, Ed Stevenson, will explain how search and display has been brought together with ‘Search Re-Targeting’. It enables repeat targeting of a customer using cookies stored on the user’s PC, to ensure that what people see as display advertising is directly linked to what they have searched for in the past. It’s a win-win situation for publishers and advertisers as it increases the targeting and effectiveness of campaigns in terms of conversion rates - this means more products sold for the advertiser and more click-through commission for publishers.
As testament to its success, foreign currency provider Interchange FX has taken part in the first live UK trial of the technology and seen conversion rates increase eight-fold. Ed Stevenson and John Harrison, Managing Director of Interchange FX will reveal the exclusive results during the workshop at Ad:Tech.
