Some compelling evidence for the value of in-stream and preroll marketing. Streaming entertainment is strongly on the rise, according to DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group. As Hollywood Reporter describes, consumer spending on home entertainment rose in Q1 by 2.5% to $4.45 billion—largely due to the strength of streaming video. Subscription streaming rose an est  [...]

Mobile TV Coalition Vague on Advertising Plans

A coalition of twelve local broadcasting station groups, including stations from NBCU, Fox, and ION Television, have formed a consortium to offer television content via mobile devices. The group represents 173 stations and collectively reaches 150 million people - an appealing target for advertisers. Unfortunately, it has not put forth clear cut advertising strategies yet.

Online Video Replaces DVR

The habits of US visitors to online TV sites reveal that online TV-viewing acts as a replacement for DVR (digital video recorder) viewing, according to research from Nielsen. Online Video - The New DVR? The broader usage patterns suggest that online video is, for the most part, a replacement of DVR use, or used by those who do not have immediate access to TV.  [...]

Britain Turns to Social Media to Promote 2012 Games

Britain's national tourism agency is turning to social media to promote the country well before the start of the 2012 Olympic Games. VisitBritain is quite aware of the tourism value the Games can deliver - roughly $2 billion. It wants to increase that amount through savvy marketing with Facebook and Twitter and local blogs to tempt tourists to go beyond the beaten path in London - as well as entice other sporting, cultural and business events. "Outsmart Our Competitors"   [...]

Discount Site Groupon Goes Hyper Local

Groupon, a site that offers deep discounts for local services such as restaurants, auto detailing, spas and holistic healing, is refining its segmentation even further: in some markets, such as Washington, DC, it has begun offering hyper local discounts. Instead of a coupon served up to the entire region of Northern Virginia, the District and southern Maryland, viewers can ask to see only, say, coupons from southern Maryland. Launched in November 2008 in  [...]

Middle-Aged Moms Swoon over New Moon

Adult women are responsible for a big portion of ticket sales for the recently released 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' film, which took in $140.7 million opening weekend and $42.5 million the following weekend. While "Twi-hard" teen girls were the expected and most obvious fan base, it is now clear that the vampire-meets-werewolf film has also drawn in their mothers, who are flocking to social media sites to discuss and promote the film as eagerly as their Millennial offspring. As an exampl  [...]

Video Games Rev Up Holiday-Season Ads, Promos

The video-game industry is ramping up its holiday-season promotional activity and ad spending for popular game titles in hopes that a Q409 consumer spending spree will help defray a year-long sales decline. These efforts were notable on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal, which reported that Best Buy, for example, is selling Electronics Arts' Dragon   [...]

Online Retailers Tackle Sales-Tax Hurdles

Sales taxes - or the absence of them - are one of the big reasons why some online retailers can often beat out their brick-and-mortar counterparts that also sell online. Simply put, many e-tailers do not collect taxes from their customers if they don’t have a presence in a state. This gives them an edge over operations that range from Wal-Mart to Target to Sak's Fifth Avenue. This discrepancy is also one reason sites such as eBay and Amazon have thrived in the downturn,   [...]

American Eagle Wants '15 Seconds of Fame'

More retailers are using out-of-home (OOH) digital technology to publish customers' accounts of their shopping or service experience, and American Eagle Outfitters (AE)  is one of the most recent - and perhaps the most elaborate - examples to date. OOH screens promise to figure prominently in the retailer's launch of its flagship store in New York's Times Square on Nov. 19. As part of the camp  [...]

Digital Kids' Books Show Robust Growth

Booksellers and content providers are focusing more attention on a specialty niche that is showing robust growth: digital books for children and teens. The splashiest effort to date has been the launch of Disney Digital Books, but there have been many others, most recently by Barnes & Noble. As these initiatives stack up, marketers are revving their own online strategies to harness the demand. Some of these digital-book i  [...]

SocNet Experiments Bode Well for Holiday Season

Inspired by the results of experimental social media campaigns, some major retailers are gearing up to roll out more elaborate social networking campaigns than they did last year.
