In December 2005, Forrester surveyed 371 marketing technology decision-makers and influencers to investigate trends in marketing technology adoption and spending. • Respondents hail from six major industry groups, and two-thirds work for firms whose annual revenues in 2005 exceeded $1 billion. • Marketing technology adoption is widespread. • Marketers say they need a more comprehensive application suite. • Vendors aren’t delivering yet. Marketing Technology Adoption
Since 2003, budgets have crept steadily upward and, on average, 2006 budgets are up 7% over 2005. But spending varies significantly by company size and industry. Specifically: • The largest and smallest firms are scaling back slightly. • Technology followers are putting cash behind their intentions. • As a percentage of revenue, retailers spend the most on marketing technology. • B2B firms are growing marketing technology spend aggressively. Marketing Technology Spending
In 2006, the advertising spending was $16.8 billion an increase of 34% from that of 2005 (IAB 2007). • According to DoubleClick (2005) • Limited online advertising publishing resources because of limited online users’ capability to view growing number of web pages (DoubleClick Research 2005) • Online targeted advertising is a seller market • Online targeted advertising is emerging as a new trend. • In March 2007, China’s largest advertising company by advertising revenue, Focus Holding Ltd agreed to buy Chinese leading online firm Allyes Information Technology Co.

Targeting the ads to a shadowy Internet population and measuring the success of ads is challenging because failure of a banner ad has many overlapping causes. Sources of failure are: • poor design, poor placement on Web page, poor choice of Web site for placement, poor choice of Web pages within a Web site for placement, poor dynamic qualities with respect to repeated page views, poor customization tying banner ad to Web site where placement occurs, and inadequate oversight by the hosting Web site. • Seasoned Web surfers grow weary of banner ads that disguise themselves as interactive components of a Web page, for example, offering multiple-choice answers to a question, only to have an interactive click result in being transported to another Web site. Banner ad marketing
Model can be built using • Web log data • Registration data • Vendor data (may not be required) • One model with indicator for banner ad/vendor selected • Multiple models, one for each vendor • Overlapping data if page sequences are included, because “did not click” entries will have common elements in all models • Model scores the propensity to click on a vendor’s banner ad Binary Response Model for Click-Through
Banner Advertising Pricing models • Cost per thousand impression (CPM) • Cost-per-Action (CPA) • Cost-per-Sale (CPS) • Cost-per-Lead (CPL), and • Hybrid-Cost-per-Action (HCPA). • The HCPA model uses two or more different pricing models with compound pricing schemes. • Many common pricing models are based on cost per click (CPC) while non targeted advertising model is based on cost per thousand impression (CPM).

As a customer service • Customers looking for products in the book, movie, or music categories are often looking for entertainment. Most would view recommendations as a plus. • Customers presented with appealing recommendations do not have to resort to tedious searches. • As a cross-sell opportunity • Customers who intend to only buy one movie may find the recommended choices too hard to resist. Why Recommend?
For customers visiting a retail Web site, use information from previous purchases to recommend • Books, Music CDs, Movies • An “intelligent” music player: plays music specifically selected by user, when music has finished and user has not made a selection in over L seconds, the player makes a selection for the user based on previous selections the user has made. • A news service that provides a personalized custom virtual newspaper to the subscriber based on past news article preferences. (These are usually content-based rather than collaborative.) Applications of Recommender Systems continued...
Personalize a user’s home page with “interesting” links, with links based on a recommender system algorithm that recommends links that should be interesting to the user. • Send a robot out looking for specific information, score each Web page using a recommender algorithm, and then return the K most interesting Web pages sorted by descending score (search engine applications). • Index a library of information based on recommender system scores.
