Online advertising = real results

7th April 2008 by David North

I spotted an interesting article today that references a study that relates online advertising to offline results. It’s pretty obvious that the effects of advertising online aren’t going to relate to results just online however I don’t think I’ve actually seen any figures relating to this.

So then now we know the following about online advertising:

  • Online results are easily measurable.
  • >80% of transactions initiated online are completed offline.
  • The new study found an 3 month online advertising campaign increased online sale 40% and offline sales 50%!
  • Online advertising increases brand recognition.
  • Online advertising doesn’t clog up my letterbox.
