A large portion of businesses today invest huge sums of money in display advertising; however they tend to get very little back from those expenditures. What is causing this problem? The answer is very poor targeting of audiences resulting in low click through rates (CTR) or places where no audience exists which then results in wasted impressions/advertising being served to their market. This type of spending reduces the efficiency of your marketing efforts greatly.
By partnering with a Display Advertising Agency such as Calibrate Commerce, you can greatly improve your return on your investment through a strategic partnership that leverages creative insights with precision targeting; and uses data-driven solutions. Together these three elements will allow you to achieve better results with less lost investment than ever before!
Wasted Advertisement Expenditure can be defined as an expense for advertising that generates little to no meaningful engagement, conversion or ROI. Waste can result from improper targeting of the audience, creating irrelevant advertisements for the target audience, and ineffective execution of the creative element of the advertisement.
Common examples of wasted ad spend include:
Using broad or irrelevant targeting will cause ads to be viewed by users who are not likely to convert, resulting in wasted impressions and budget.
Using low-quality images and/or unclear messaging means that ads will not be successful, leading to low CTR and engagement.
Failing to re-engage high-intent users that have already expressed interest in your products means you miss many opportunities for conversions.
Running ads without A/B testing or making data-driven optimizations will lead to inefficient campaigns that waste money on ineffective ads.
A professional Display Advertising Agency applies expertise and advanced strategies to ensure every dollar works harder.
