Here’s what you need to know… Why Viewability is Important If no one can see your ads, then they are never going to perform both from either a branding perspective or click / conversion perspective. Don’t forget, you still pay for non-viewable impressions, so it’s essential to make them effective. What Impacts 70% Viewability? There are many problems that impact viewability and despite having a consistent measurement via MRC standard, different measurement vendors rate viewability differently. Apart from auto optimizing via an algorithm, things you’ll want to manually consider tweaking to maximize viewability include Size of Banner Ads Device Type Screen size / Resolution Browser Type Placement on the page File Size The importance of striving for better than 70% 70% Viewability is actually just a suggested benchmark for minimum viewability. Looking a hundreds of campaigns, across hundreds of creatives, we’ve seen the best performance a few points higher around 72-74%. It’s where you need to be in order to be successful and get performance. Its important that once achieved, you should start dialing up your benchmark and striving for 75% or even 80% Viewability. Gourmet Ads & 70% Viewability Leveraging machine Learning and Data Science, we can guarantee to deliver 70% Viewability by the use of our Smart Deals logic for programmatic buyers, irrespective of the DSP. We can set the exact % in the deal setup. For example if you need to achieve 74% we can set this exactly. Then we optimize towards Viewability in Realtime and in most cases we’ll deliver over the percentage set.

Ads can bring in clicks, leads, potential customer, and final customers. We don’t spend money on ads for no reason-- there must be something known as a ROAS or Return On Ad Spend. But how does ROAS work, and how can it be calculated for the benefit of the advertiser and the publisher alike? Let’s take a look.

ROAS is an online advertising term that refers to Return On Ad Spend. ROAS is an advertising metric that measures the effectiveness or success of a digital online advertising campaign. ROAS helps online businesses in the cuisine world evaluate which advertising methods are working to bring in new clients or customers, and how they can improve future advertising efforts. ROAS Calculation The calculation of ROAS is fairly simple: Gross Revenue from Ad campaign / Cost of Advertising Campaign = ROAS For example: A business spends $30,000 on an online advertising campaign in a single month. In this month, the ad campaign results in gross revenue sales of $90,000. Therefore, the ROAS is a ratio of 3 to 1 (or 500 percent) as $90,000 divided by $30,000 = $3. $90,000 / $30,000 = $3 OR 3:1 For every dollar that the business spends on this specific advertising campaign, it generates $3 worth of revenue. There are other factors to consider when calculating ROAS in addition to the basic formula. Advertising incurs more cost than just the listing fees for placing the ads. To calculate what it truly costs to run an advertising campaign, be sure to not forget these factors: Partner and vendor costs. There are usually fees and commissions associated with partners and vendors that assist in the advertising campaign or channel level. An accurate accounting of in-house advertising personnel expenses, such as wages and other related fees, must be taken into consideration. If these factors are not accurately quantified during calculation, ROAS will not properly explain the efficacy of individual marketing efforts and its utility as a metric will start to decline. Affiliate commissions. The percent of commission paid to affiliates, as well as network transaction fees, is a part of ROAS. Clicks and impressions. Metrics such as average cost per click, the total number of clicks, the average cost per thousand impressions, and the number of impressions actually purchased all factor into the result of a ROAS calculation. What is Considered a Good ROAS? An acceptable ROAS is influenced by profit margins, operating expenses, and the overall health of the company in general. While there's no completely right answer to this question, a common ROAS benchmark is a 5:1 ratio, or $5 revenue to $1 in ad spend. Brand new small businesses with lower budgets may require higher margins, while e-commerce stores committed to growth can afford higher advertising costs. Some companies require a ROAS of 10:1 in order to stay fully profitable, and others can grow substantially at just a small ratio of 3:1. A company can only gauge its total ROAS goal when it has a defined budget and firm idea of its profit margins. What techniques increase ROAS ? There are many factors that we look at to optimize a campaign towards a ROAS Campaign Goal, these being (but not limited to) mostly around minimizing reducing advertising wastage; Frequency Caps ie 3/24 or 10 Lifetime Frequency Limits to 1 ad impression per page load Time & Day Parting Tightening up the Targeting Optimizing for Click Though Rate Optimize for Conversion Rate Optimizing for Viewability Gourmet Ads & ROAS Gourmet Ads is an advertising platform for businesses and brands in the food, cuisine, and liquor industries.

Back in 1887, the Coca Cola company went on the widespread distribution of coupons and vouchers. They sent coupons through the mail. There were features in magazines. They were even distributed in the street. Since the rise of the internet, coupon advertising has enjoyed a resurgence and is as effective a marketing strategy as it ever has been. Through enticing customers with great deals, and encouraging them to share with friends and family, you can create a kind of buzz around your grocery or supermarket. 70% of internet shoppers in the U.S. are influenced by their ability to find coupons or discounts when deciding where to shop. Making coupons available for your potential customers is an easy and effective way to entice them in. If what you’re offering is high quality, then they are likely to switch to your store. What Does Coupon Advertising Do? While coupon advertising is a way to entice the savvy shopper looking for a deal, there are as many benefits for the business as there is for the consumer. The internet has made it more competitive than ever for grocery and supermarkets to entice shoppers. Coupon advertising can give you a competitive edge. Strategic coupon advertising increases the reach of your brand and increases name recognition. Standing out from your competitors is a challenge no matter the size of your business, and brand recognition is the first step to ensuring that people know how to find you. Make Your Coupon Advertising Work Placing a coupon in your advertisement means that there is pretty much a guarantee that your product sales will increase. Yet traditionally, manufacturer’s coupons that are distributed in newspapers lead to only a 1% redemption rate. Fundamentally, this is because these adverts are too generalized to be effective for your business. Senior citizens receive coupons for baby formula and young mothers receive coupons for Motor Oil. Targeting is a vital component of any kind of advertising strategy. This is how online coupon advertising can help to increase engagement rates, and encourage new shoppers. The general rules for ensuring a successful coupon advertising campaign: Targeted To avoid the 1% redemption, it pays to target your advertising to your market. Research has shown that when people are searching for online recipes, they are actually going to use them. Targeting these sectors by having coupon advertising on recipes is a great way to entice customers before they head to the store. Tracked In order to track the success of your coupon advertising campaign, you need to be able to measure the points of impact. Advertising Grocery Coupons with Gourmet Ads gives you the opportunity to track your results and come up with easy to read statistics. Flexible Once you have the ability to see how your campaign is tracking, it then allows you to strategically pivot if needed. This increases the likelihood of your success.
