It’s the economy stupid... "arguably the worst they've been in 60 years“ – Alistair Darling
Should we fear a downturn • Downturns are painful. • Advertising and marketing can be disproportionately hard hit • They can however serve to create new and challenge existing business models • Recessions can stimulate innovation • Many successful businesses are born under challenging economic circumstances
The situation at present • Most sites can are either a Bridge or a Destination • Bridges (search affiliate, loyalty and price comparison) earn revenue by driving traffic to new locations • Destinations (high trafficked content sites, Facebook, Telegraph etc,) earn revenue by selling the opportunity to influence their audience • Bridge business models are CPA friendly, Destinations tend to rely on branding CPM • Branding CPM activity likely to come under more pressure to the economic climate
Possible consequences of a downturn • Destination sites may look to maintain page yields through inclusion of more performance based elements • This will include ways of generating and monetizing more exit traffic • Pressure will continue to be exerted on brand advertising • Destination content sites will continue to generate large volumes of inventory, more of which could remain unsold at premium rates • New solutions like TD Integral will allow easier integration of display into performance based advertising
Potential future reward chain • Sites paid as part of user journey • Higher trafficked sites generate more clicks/impressions get rewarded for generating initial interest • The value per click grows as you get closer to the transaction • Last click still most important • And this was my last slide!
