Digital advertising needs a savior
It may sound extreme, but let’s be honest the truth isn’t always pretty. You might wonder if the headline is true or not. Not by ruining your day and only telling you how ill digital advertising is, but also giving you an idea for a solution. In order to describe what’s wrong it is necessary to tackle two perspectives, the first one will be the one of a marketer and the second one will be about the costumer. Let’s state some facts.
The internet is growing rapidly every day. This vast landscape of opportunities raises several questions for marketers: Where do I advertise? How do I advertise? How do I measure the success of my campaign?
With ever increasing ad costs a company wants to make sure that each campaign reaches as many people of the target audience as possible. This is quite difficult for smaller businesses with little budgets.
How can small and local businesses advertise effectively, cost-efficient, and increase their ROI (return on investment)? They could pay for a Facebook campaign and reach people who like the product, but won’t be able to buy it since they aren’t locals. That seems like burning money without a sufficient return. So, the local store changes back to targeting the people offline. However, there is no way to properly track the effectiveness of billboards or flyers. Again, money is wasted.
Another point to be raised is a huge scattering loss. It increases costs and decreases the efficiency of your campaign. This happens, because you reach people outside your target group who aren’t interested in your product. TV commercials are a great example of scattering loss.
Additionally, click fraud through bots is a major problem when it comes to the efficiency of a campaign. If only bots see your campaign, no one sees it. This leads to massive problems for the marketer. Firstly, you might pay millions without reaching anyone. Secondly, your outsourced advertising company might have used bots to increase their revenue and to show you figures that look very good at first, but are quite bad once you see the money you made with that particular campaign.
Another factor is ad blockers. Ad Blockers gained more and more popularity throughout the years. This affects the advertiser just as much as it does the customer. Adverts don’t work if no one sees them. A business could have the most amazing campaign and it still fails, since no one has seen it. Do not be fooled to think that a massive budget leads to more effective advertising.
So much about the perspective of a company.
Ad Blockers as weird as it sounds can have a negative impact on customers as well. In order to make money through ads, website owners can ask visitors to either turn of ad blockers or they will not be able to use the website or will not be able to use all features. Furthermore, ad blockers can still allow ads. That can happen when a company wants their ads to be shown no matter what. In that case, it pays a lot of money to the company that runs the adblocker. If the amount is sufficient the ad blocker company will stop blocking the ads they have received money for. The consumer problems do not stop there though. What about the flashing ads next to an article you can not focus on the article and it’s more likely that you will not return to that website. Ads that follow you when you scroll down a web page are really annoying as well and stop you from focusing on the content itself.
Even worse, when clicking on an ad, you do not know where your data is saved or what data is saved and what it is being used for. You don’t even need to click the ad for your data to be stored somewhere. This creates a lack of trust and leads to immense clickbait which complicates the trust issues. Summed up in one sentence it means no one cares about your data privacy. Furthermore, companies can make a lot of money by selling your data. There’s a huge market for it and the demand for data is immense.
In conclusion, this means a lot of problems need to be solved in order to make digital advertising successful and efficient again.
