well as the potential value for manufacturers that advertise on
Walmart’s website
• The online survey was designed to collect quantitative metrics
measuring:
01. Display Advertising At-Retail: Potential click through rate and
brand lift for display advertising on the Walmart website
02. Paid Search: Potential click through rate and brand lift for
Walmart and partner manufacturers resulting from paid search
advertising

Purpose - To determine how paid
search impacts:
• Purchase Intent
• Brand Affinity
• Brand Impression
• % of Clicks
• Eye Tracking
16. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM PAID SEARCH RESULTS
• When advertising in the top paid search positions, you can capture
potential customers that would have otherwise gone to another retailer
• Co-branded ads with major brand names have the potential to drive
additional traffic for both the retail brand and manufacturer
• Manufacturers can expect significant increase in purchase intent for
their products when co-advertised with major retail brand
17. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
• Featuring display ads of your brand on a retailer site can increase purchase intent,
brand affinity, and emotional connections with your brand
DISPLAY
• Display ads related to intent can drive significantly more clicks than ad creative
unrelated to intent
• Although clicks are important, it is not the only measure of advertising effectiveness,
especially at-retail
• The higher your ad is in the paid search results, the higher the intent to purchase is
PAID SEARCH
• Retailers garner more brand affinity with a particular type of product by advertising
in paid search. Ie. Walmart + toys
• Generic search terms lessen the recall of competitive brands when a searcher thinks
of a product in the future

If your brand is featured on a retailer site in display ad format, on specific category pages, you can expect to receive significant more brand affinity (top of mind awareness) than competing brands.It may be possible to obtain better brand impression through display advertising on a retailer's site particularly for brands that are less familiar to consumers. REPETITIVE exposure to an ad is required before an impact is made.Display ads that are created to align to relevancy of content on the page will dirve more clicks that advertising that is not related to page content.Unrelated ads still influence visitor behavior. People looked at the display ads and noticed them – it's more interruptive and would require additional visibility and other touchpoints, but it still influences purchase behavior.Make sure that when you deisng your ads, they are aligned to the page content with clear message and offer. (Maybe we can refer them to the banner advertising best practices cheat sheet?)
