Recall is an important indicator as it often correlated with efficiency
Recalling an ad is considereda necessary
(but not sufficient)condition for
further effectiveness
Recall
Millward Brown identifies a clear-cut relation betweenhighly recalled campaigns and their subsequentsales effectiveness
3
The Beta (β) coefficient is an accepted measure to assess recall of a media
Developped in the 70’sby A. Morgensztern
Beta = probability of recalling a given ad
after 1 contact, based on post-tests
Beta coefficient
What is this ?
Forecasts the « recalling power » of a
media
‘beta’ measures exists for different media: impact comparison

Benchmark
Why is it used ?

What does the beta learn us ?
• Direct Mail is a highly impactfull media: on average 2 out of 3 people will recall your message
• It’s the second most performing media in terms of recall
• It makes the audience really ‘captive’, almost as much as cinema

From recall to Beta coefficient
Developped in the 70’sby A. MorgenszternBeta = probability
of recalling a given adafter 1 contact, reconstructed,
based on post-tests
Beta coefficient
Recall after 1 contact determines recall
after « n » contacts
Beta may be usedas a model parameter
for recall buildingand decay

From campaign to medium
Principally, each campaign
has its own strength (= beta).
As a forecasting toolaverage beta value
is often derived per medium

BETA DM based on an impact questionnaire
Recall DM - spont Aided Recall DM:product category
Aided Recall DM: DM description
Opening (Y/N)?
Recall content (describe)
Yes
No
Evaluation (score on 7 points scale)
Liking, convincing, inciting, relevant for me, original, interesting, informative, give a positive image of the brand, increases knowledge on brand
Aided Recall DM: Brand prompted
Action taken(will go to the shop, call, use coupon,…)
Intention to buy(score 5 points scale)
Reading type:open not read, partially, normally, completely
Use DM after reading- thrown away, kept, given to someone else
- Information discussed or seen by others: Y/N
Action after reception
Thrown away, kept for reading later, given to someone else
Demographics:
