The banner ads are targeted towards you in some capacity whether it is based off your interests or even purchase behavior.
In the study by IAB, nine brands were tested across desktop and mobile sites. The purchasing behavior comparison was made between those who saw the ads vs those who didn’t.
The results are in!
For every $1 spent on online display ads, $1.94 in sales was received for all supermarkets. One brand even saw a 3X return at $3.38 per $1.
While the main point of banner ads is to click through to a website, they are known as a branding play as well. Banner ads reach a wide number of individuals and by seeing the brand as you surf the internet, it helps you begin to recognize or remember a brand.
The study said the biggest takeaway was the largest majority of sales attributable to banner ads were from offline and in-store shopping.
