Communication
Personalization and Predicting
Behavior
Point-Counterpoint
Prediction Based on
Past Behavior Is Effective
Past behavior is predictive of
preferences and current behavior
People who buy products of type x
will be interested in products similar
to type x
Not only is this an effective way to
determine consumer preferences, it
is also simple to track

Past Behavior Is Not a
Good Predictor
Purchase behavior is driven by
goals, not past behavior
Personal goals constantly change
and past behavior does not provide
much insight into these goals
Purchases such as gifts and
infrequently purchased products like
a TV set are examples of instances
where past behavior is ineffective

Exhibit 9.4: Profiles of Online Media
Types
Medium
Advantages
Disadvantages
Websites/Personalized
websites
Communicate rich, detailed information that users
can navigate at will; can track users and customize
site accordingly.
Narrow reach
Banner ads
Link directly to buying opportunity; easy to measure
effectiveness; wide reach; potential for effective
targeting
Low attention and click-through rates; short life;
limited “pass-along” audience; very high clutter;
fleeting exposure
Interstitials
Catch users’ attention; link to buying opportunity
Can annoy users; limited “pass-along” audience
Rich media
Attention-getting; link to buying opportunity
Can annoy users without broadband access
Dynamic ad placement
Serves up customized ads to users in real time
Difficult to execute well; can annoy users, other
advertisers
Search engines
Good credibility; high believability; guarantee of
position available; significant audience at major sites
High competition; information overload; limited
“pass-along”
Classifieds and
listings
Relatively inexpensive, potential for wide exposure;
qualified audience
Clutter
Opt-in e-mail
High demographic selectivity; high credibility;
significant flexibility; proven high click-through rates;
absolutely inexpensive; some pass-along
Requires substantial user base before effective;
high clutter
Mass e-mail
High reach; inexpensive; flexible
Low attention and significant resentment (spam
image)
Customer service
Interested parties asking for help, thus high targeting
value; generates loyal customers
Very expensive to provide comprehensive
telephone, e-mail, and online support
Exhibit 9.5: Internet Ad Terms
Ad Clicks

Aggregate number of user clicks on a banner ad
Ad Views
(Impressions)

Number of times a banner ad is downloaded to a user’s browser and presumably looked at
Click-Through

Percentage of ad views that are clicked upon; also “Ad Click Rate”
CPC
(Cost-per-Click)

Formula used to calculate what an advertiser will pay to an Internet publisher based on
number of click-throughs a banner generates

Cost per thousand impressions of a banner ad; a publisher that charges $10,000 per
banner and guarantees 500,000 impressions has a CPM of $20 ($10,000 divided by 500)

Measurement recorded in server log files that represent each file downloaded to a
browser; since page design can include multiple files, hits are not a good guide for
measuring traffic at a website

Number of individuals who visit a website in a specified period of time; requires the use of
registration or cookies to verify and identify unique users

A series of requests made by an individual at one site; if no information is requested for a
certain period of time, a “time-out” occurs and the next request made counts as a new visit
— a 30 minute time-out is now standard
