When
advertisers evaluate media spending, their main
concern is the return on their investment. Online
advertising is particularly measurable in this regard
because immediate responses to an ad can be measured
directly from the click to the purchase. However,
online advertising is also responsible for driving
additional purchases through the branding value of the
ad impression itself, and this effect often goes
unmeasured. Many online advertisers do not or cannot
track the consumer who views an ad but does not
immediately respond, and later purchases the product.
This type of purchase, is often referred to as a
"view-based conversion" or "view-through." |
