Apple’s Cracked the App $ Code: Charge Big Bucks for iAds

admin    Web Marketing     Apple’s, Bucks, Charge, Code, Cracked, iAds

Apparently Apple just isn’t making enough money off the iPhone. In addition to making at least a little on each unit sold, Apple also gets a cut on the apps and other media sold for the device.

But they want more. The Wall Street Journal reports on a rumor that the new iAd network will come with a hefty price tag—possibly $1M to join the program, and $10M to be among the first. Additionally, Apple’s split of the ad revenue is 40%, and the price tag “comes with initial demands for greater control over advertisers’ marketing campaigns.”

It’s often routine to charge a premium to participate or especially launch a new platform, but even established advertisers are surprised by the price tag. Says the WSJ, “Ad executives say they are used to paying between $100,000 and $200,000 for similar mobile deals.”

But, says the WSJ, the bigger fish are still biting: “Despite the high price, ad executives at agencies from Boston to New York and San Francisco to Los Angeles have crowded into conference rooms in recent weeks to listen to the tech company’s pitch for iAd.”

Another feature that makes the iAd attractive is the format. Advertisers pay a very low CPM, but when consumers click on and interact with the interactive ads, the price for advertisers jumps up:

One example Apple has been showing advertisers is an ad for Nike’s Air Jordan basketball shoe, says Baba Shetty, chief media officer at Boston-based ad agency Hill Holiday, owned by Interpublic Group. When a user is in an application, an animated banner ad appears on the border of the screen, along with an iAd logo. If the user taps on the ad, it expands across the screen, displaying a video, an interactive store locator and exclusive offers at local stores, among other features. . . .

Apple is planning to charge advertisers a penny each time a consumer sees a banner ad, ad executives say. When a user taps on the banner and the ad pops up, Apple will charge $2. Under large ad buys, such as the $1 million package, costs would rack up to reach $1 million with the various views and taps.

With 85M devices and approximately 42.5M hours of screen time for apps a day, it’s little wonder advertisers are interested. But with cheaper alternatives out there, will it be enough to make it worth their while? What do you think?

New Research: 5 Twitter Charts For Marketers

admin    Twitter Marketing     Charts, Marketers, Research, Twitter

Facebook is dominating Twitter in usage in the United States, but the two social platforms are nearly equal when it comes to awareness. This is just one of many interesting data nuggets that were uncovered in a new survey conducted by Edison Research. The report is the most recent data from a three year tracking study conducted by Edison and Arbitron Internet and Multimedia research.

While the survey can be downloaded in its entirety, we have reviewed the research and selected the top five charts and findings that you need to better understand Twitter usage and apply this information to your business and marketing efforts.

1. Twitter Users Frequently Exchange Information About Products and Services

Marketing Takeaway: Twitter users are actively discussing products and services. Make sure you monitor conversations about your business and provide compelling content for them to discuss. 

2. Twitter and Facebook Are Almost Equal in Awareness

Marketing Takeaway: While Facebook is the dominate social platform in terms of usage, Twitter is still growing rapidly and driving consumer awareness. 

3. Despite Equal Awareness,Twitter Significantly Lags Behind Facebook in Usage 

Marketing Takeaway: Despite the fact that Twitter is becoming popular, it is still far behind Facebook in terms of use. This data should remind marketers that an effective social media marketing strategy should include multiple platforms in order to maximize results. 

4. Twitter Users Access the Internet From Multiple Locations

Marketing Takeaway: Marketing on the social web is becoming about multiple screens. Users are engaging on social networks on different types of devices including laptops, smart phones and tablets. It is important to make sure that your online properties are optimized to take advantage of different screens. 

5. Twitter Users (Like Most Americans) Are Very Frequent SMS Users

Marketing Takeaway: Today, email marketing can be a powerful driver for marketing results. As SMS use grows, marketers need to plan ways to leverage this type of communications method to become a valuable part of the marketing mix. 

Which of these charts is most important to your business?

Yahoo: Actually, Search Is Still Popular (We’re Just Confused)

admin    Web Marketing     Actually, Confused, Just, Popular, Search, Still, We’re, Yahoo

Yahoo seems to be a little confused about its prospects these days. Now that their search deal with Microsoft is approved, they’re suddenly not that interested in search, because people aren’t interested in search. (Odd how that one’s not generating the same interest as a couple years ago when Ask.com did/didn’t say they were getting out of search.) And yet at the same time, they’re releasing research that shows just how important search really is.

SEO by the Sea reports on a study, to be presented today, that shows search is responsible for more than 1 in 5 pageviews online. Search itself saw 10% of online pageviews, and indirectly lead to 21% of the pageviews and about the same proportion of purchases online.

They tell us that main web search accounted for 6.2 percent of all pageviews, multimedia searches take up 1.4 percent, and item searches another 1.4 percent. They followed browsing trails from these searches to the pages that searchers followed from the searches, and tell us that those pages browsed as a result of searches result in another 12.4 percent of pages visited on the Web. . . .

The study also looked at “checkout” pageviews to see how often people arrived at ecommerce checkout pages, and tell us that approximately 20 percent of people making a purchase online eventually arrived at that page directly or indirectly from a search pageview.

Based on >50M pageviews collected over 8 days in March 2009, the study reaffirms the importance of search. Over the last year, social networks have continued to grow—but the two categories play very different roles. Meanwhile, if Yahoo really thought that search was on the way out, wouldn’t they have their employees sit on this research?

Naturally, Yahoo is right that people are using social networks and recommendations from friends to find new websites and places to hang out—and possibly even answers to questions. But if they really think people aren’t searching, 1.) they need better internal communication, 2.) the search deal is a waste of time and money and 3.) they don’t understand how people find information in the first place—a cardinal sin in the IR industry.

Even in the reports this morning, Yahoo acknowledged that people spend about a sixth of their online time searching. While they also cited stats that said they spent another third of their time communicating and half their time browsing, I think that showing that people spend a significant amount of time—but not a majority of it—searching shows how successful search engines are. Would anyone want an Internet where we spent half our time searching for something, and a minority of our time actually reading what we’d found?

With these stats, it sounds like Yahoo’s trying to have its cake and eat it to: search is important, but it isn’t. It drives pageviews, but social is the wave of the future. Buy search ads, but buy display ads. What do you think? Is Yahoo trying to attack this from both sides?

This looks like a case of

No Blogger Fines Yet, But FTC Has Its Eyes Out

admin    Web Marketing     Blogger, Eyes, Fines

The FTC created quite a stir last year when they announced their new blogging guidelines to crack down on bloggers who receive products free in exchange for mentions or reviews. The FTC reassured bloggers that the rumored $11,000 fines wouldn’t affect them, and that these guidelines were intended to target advertisers and big time bloggers who were practically making a living on the freebies alone.

Ooooor not. In what appears to be the first test case of the new guidelines, the FTC targeted Ann Taylor Loft—over $10 gift cards distributed to bloggers after a preview in January. Well, more accurately, gift cards worth up to $500, distributed after Ann Taylor reviewed the bloggers’ posts. (I believe the conclusion we can jump to here is that the cards or their amounts were directly related to how positive the review was.) As Econsultancy points out, this is “in direct violation of the FTC’s new disclosure rules.”

(Does $10 buy anything at Ann Taylor Loft? A bracelet?)

Ann Taylor Loft, according to the FTC, is responsible for ensuring the bloggers disclosed the relationship. However, there are no fines handed out this time. AdAge says:

The FTC said it decided not to take action against Ann Taylor, because, according to the company, the January preview was the first and, to date, only such event. Also, only a small number of bloggers posted content about the preview and several of those disclosed the gifts. A sign posted at the event directed bloggers to disclose the gifts, though the FTC says it’s not clear how many bloggers saw the sign. Finally, Ann Taylor’s Loft division adopted a written policy regarding its interaction with bloggers in February [after the event].

And, says Econsultancy, “LOFT adopted a written policy . . . stating that LOFT will not issue any gift to any blogger without first telling the blogger that the blogger must disclose the gift in his or her blog.” So short of making an announcement during the preview, Ann Taylor did work very hard to try to follow the FTC guidelines. So the first test case may not be very eventful—but the door is open. The FTC has long noted that the severity of their reaction will depend on the product itself. A $25 hardback isn’t going to draw the same censure as a $25,000 automobile.

What do you think? Who came out on top: the FTC or Ann Taylor Loft?
