Maximizing advertising conversion rates in today’s competitive environment requires that advertisers maximize the value of customer segmentation based on all available customer data. Advertisers can utilize proven direct marketing techniques to intelligently tailor different messages to different audiences: re-messaging customer groups based on past actions, testing and optimizing messages to refine what drives the best response, and more. This webinar, originally hosted on May 25, 2011, examined the ways that leading brands and advertisers are optimizing the selection and sequencing of ads across ad formats and publishers to maximize conversions via:
• Consumer segmentation
• Site visit and history targeting and retargeting
• Transactional targeting
• Ad exposure and interaction targeting
• And other methods
The audience also learned ways to create and execute the business logic required to perform these sophisticated targeting functions with speed and scale.
