ADVERTISING EFFECTIVENESS IN QUESTION
GM Will Remove $10 Million Worth Of Ads From Facebook

TRADITIONAL MODELS OF ON-LINE ADVERTISING
Topic and Interest Targeting Target users from predefined interest categories, inferred from a user browsing history
Keyword Contextual Targeting Use keywords to find web pages for your ads across your ad network
Remarketing / Retargeting Target ads to people who have previously visited your website as they browse other web sites
Self Reported Data Targeting Target ads based on information volunteered by the user via a membership form or user profile
Location Based Targeting Target ads based on a user’s geographic location
Demographic Targeting Target ads based on a user’s estimated age, income, gender, etc.
10/27/12 Footer 7
LIMITATIONS OF TRADITIONAL ON-LINE ADVERTISING
Key Limitations Advertising based on inferences of affinity, interest, and capacity, not previous philanthropic behavior or organizational affinity Advertising is delivered to unknown recipients, limiting the ability to measure its effectiveness on stimulating other on-line and off-line channels Advertising is centered on the on-line actions of web users, such as previously visiting your website, a very limited perspective that does not account for previous philanthropic related behavior or affinity

THE IMPACT OF ON-LINE ADVERTISING ON DIRECT MAIL RESPONSE
10/27/12 Footer 9
• Targeting moves from “Where they are on-line” to “Who they are.” You no longer have to rely on inferences or demographic profiling to determine who received advertising. Now, you can target prospects based on philanthropic behavior driven predictive modeling.
• Target the same prospects on-line as you do off-line. Reinforce your brand with the same prospects you are mailing, telemarketing, or targeting with other 1:1 marketing channels. Create response lift across all channels by using true integrated, multi-channel marketing.
• Measure on-line advertising effectiveness. Understand exactly how brand impressions on-line affect donor behavior across all solicitation channels. For example, measure how brand impressions on-line lift direct mail performance.
MOVING TO TARGETED ADVERTISING

HOW IT WORKS - CONCEPTUAL
Your Organization’s Target Prospect List
On-Line Matching
Advertising Served to Your Target Prospect
• Your Active Donor File • Your Lapsed Donor File • Your Acquisition Marketing List • Any List Source Consisting of Name & Postal Address
• Matches Your Input List to On-line Users to a Network of On-Line User Profiles
• Wherever your Target Prospect Goes on the Web, Serve Them Advertising
10/27/12 Footer 11
WHY IT WORKS
Direct Marketer focus is focused on the transaction
Reinforcing the brand to build awareness, favorability, and consideration is often overlooked

BEST PRACTICES IN ON-LINE ADVERTISING & MULTI-CHANNEL MARKETING
10/27/12 Footer 23
• The ad should strive to accomplish 3 things: - Drive brand awareness - Communicate cause message & reason to donate - Clear call to action
• Your campaign should adhere to these 3 things: - Effective multi-channel marketing must be integrated - Only use marketing channels with clear performance measurements - Prior philanthropic behavior is the best indicator of future philanthropic behavior
KEY IDEAS
10/27/12 Footer 24
• Do: Use strong brand reinforcement with prominent brand name display - CLEAR • Do Not: Use intrigue in an effort to get people to click thru
• Do: Keep the message simple, with an obvious call to action – URGENCY • Do Not: Promote social media or other intermediary steps to your desired outcome
• Do: Use imagery to compliment your effort to reinforce your brand – USE EMOTION • Do Not: Use imagery that does not involve a living person or animal
• Do: Use consistent creative across all landing pages and off-line media - CONSISTENCY • Do Not: Treat on-line advertising as a stand-alone channel, it exists to reinforce your brand
• Do: Make the donation form and landing page as simple as possible - SIMPLICITY • Do Not: Drive click thru’s to your homepage or page other than the donation page
• Do: Use rich media, flash, and color to attract attention – BOLD • Do Not: Use white as the background for your on-line ads
