    16% of Users Click Away From Video if There is a PreRoll Ad

    Amplifyd from www.imediaconnection.com

    The preeminent video advertising format — pre-roll — still irritates some consumers, so much so, in fact, that nearly 16 percent of consumers click away from a pre-roll ad rather than sit through it to watch their desired video.

    The trend is worse for news media; nearly 25 percent of consumers click away from pre-roll ads on newspaper and magazine websites, according to analytics firm TubeMogul.

    What this means, of course, is that 16 percent of consumers would rather not watch a video simply because it contains an advertisement, which isn’t great news for video publishers.

    1 in 5 Commercial, Permissioned Emails Fail to Deliver

    Amplifyd from www.mediapost.com

    Despite minor improvements, about 1-in-5 commercial, permissioned emails still fail to reach consumers’ inboxes, according to new research from email and reputation management firm Return Path.

    In the second half of 2009, 19.9% such emails never reached consumer inboxes in the United States and Canada — representing only a slight improvement over the first half of the year when 20.7% such emails missed their target.

    By contrast, European inbox placement rates fared markedly better with just 15% of requested, permissioned emails never reaching consumer inboxes.

    Senior Marketer Top Priorities in 2010

    Amplifyd from www.emarketer.com

    The “2010 Digital Marketing Outlook” report found that 81% of the brand executives surveyed expected an increase in digital projects in 2010, and one-half will be moving dollars from traditional to digital budgets. Further, more than three-quarters think the current economy will push more allocations to digital.

    Senior marketers reported that social networks and applications were their biggest priority for 2010, followed closely by digital infrastructure. While social media marketing looks set to stay top of mind, a majority of respondents considered a range of digital activities at least “important,” with only games failing to inspire widespread interest.

    Sponsored Forum Posts Effective at Increasing Click-throughs

    Alvin and the Clipmunks says:

    Regardless of effectiveness, do you think sponsored forum posts “hijack” the thread’s integrity? Or is this a legitimate form of online advertising?

    Amplifyd from www.marketingcharts.com

    Sponsored posts that appear in targeted online forums, clearly marked as advertisements, appear to actually increase in their ability to drive response over time - by more than 100% one year after a paid campaign has ended, according to a recent analysis released by PostRelease.

    The study also showed that 60 days after a typical sponsored forum post’s appearance, the total number of click-throughs increase by an average of 40%. After 180 days they increase by an average of 77%.

    • After 60 days the reads increased 28.8%
    • After 60 days the click-throughs increased 40.7%
    • After 180 days the reads increased 49.2%
    • After 180 days the click-throughs increased 77.1%
    • After 360 days the reads increased 60.6%
    • After 360 days the click-throughs increased 103.6%
