6.1 What media should be used?
Focus on e-commerce and e-business
Posizionamento nei motori di ricerca
Anzitutto, registrazione del sito nei motori di ricerca
Miglioramento della posizione del sito nella lista dei risultati generati da un
motore di ricerca (ranking)
• attraverso indicizzazioni a pagamento (pay-per-click)
• attraverso operazioni iterative volte a comprendere le logiche del processo di
indicizzazione (serch engine optimization): scelta opportuna del titolo, delle
parole chiave e dei meta-tag del sito, livello adeguato di usabilità, scambio di
link
3
Posizionamento nei motori di ricerca
Il processo di indicizzazione varia a seconda dell’algoritmo alla base
del motore di ricerca, che può utilizzare spider, opinioni degli utenti
o altro
Inoltre, ogni motore di ricerca varia l’algoritmo nel tempo  L’utilizzo
di tecnologie semantiche migliorerà notevolmente le prestazioni dei
motori di ricerca
Possibilità di rivolgersi ad aziende specializzate
4
Posizionamento nei motori di ricerca
Perché sono importanti i motori di ricerca?
• 80% del traffico in Internet è generato da ricerche sui motori
• 90% degli utenti consulta al massimo i primi 30 risultati di una ricerca

Banner, interstitial e pop up
• Banner: spazi di advertising rettangolari, contenenti testo,
immagini o video, che, con il click, reindirizzano al sito
• Interstitial: spazi di advertising che compaiono
automaticamente sulla stessa finestra del browser, per un
tempo limitato, quando si cerca di accedere ad un sito
• Pop up: spazi di advertising che compaiono
automaticamente su una nuova finestra del browser quando
si cerca di accedere ad un sito
Il costo di queste forme di advertising cambia a seconda delle
caratteristiche peculiari dell’oggetto e della popolarità del sito
che li ospita

6.1 What media should be used?
• Target-audience media habits: use the media preferred by the
target audience
• Product: use the media that emphasizes the product characteristics
the most (e.g. Women’s dresses in colour magazines)
• Message: A message announcing a major sale tomorrow will require
radio, TV, or newspaper. A message containing a great deal of
technical data might require specialized magazines or mailings.
• Cost: Television is very expensive, whereas newspaper advertising
is relatively inexpensive. What counts is the cost-per-thousand
exposures.
11
6.1 What media should be used?
• Circulation: # of physical units carrying the advertising (e.g.
billboards in a metro station)
• Audience: # of people exposed to the vehicle. Audience may
be larger than Circulation. (e.g. people coming in the metro
station)
• Effective audience: # of people with target audience
characteristics exposed to the vehicle. (e.g. theatre lovers
coming in the metro station)
• Effective ad-exposed audience: # of people with target
audience characteristics who actually saw the ad. (e.g.
theatre lovers actually seeing the billboards)
12
6.1 What media should be used?
• Coverage (C): # of people who actually saw the ad
• Frequency (F): average # of times in which the ad has been saw by
a person
– Trade-off between brand memorization and irritation of the customer
• Impact (I) : parameter describing the quality of an exposition (e.g. a
sewing class ad on a finance magazine will have poor quality)
– Audience quality, Audience attention probability, editorial quality
Exposure: C*F
Weighted exposure: C*F*I  this concretely impacts on brand
awareness

Trade-off between brand memorization and
irritation of the customer

6.1 Advertising timing
• Carryover: rate at which the effect of an advertising
expenditure wears out with the passage of time.
• Habitual behaviour: how much brand holdover occurs
independent of the level of advertising
• Buyer turnover: rate at which new buyers enter the
market
• Purchase frequency: # of times during the period that
the average buyer buys the product
• Forgetting rate: rate at which the buyer forgets the brand
15
6.1 Advertising timing
• Continuity: scheduling exposures
evenly throughout a given period
• Concentration: spending all the ad
dollars in a single period
• Flighting: ad for some period,
followed by no advertising, followed
by a second period of ad activity
• Pulsing: continuous ad at lowweight levels reinforced periodically
by waves of heavier activity
16
6.1 How should the results be evaluated?
• Communication effect
– Pre testing
• Direct rating method: consumers rate alternative ads
• Portfolio tests: consumers view a portfolio of advertisements, then are asked
to recall all the ads and their content, aided or unaided by the interviewer
• Laboratory tests use equipment to measure physiological reactions
– Post testing
• Overall communication impact of the campaign (e.g. brand awareness)
• Sales effect
– Improvement in sales depending on advertisements
17

6.2 Price promotion
• May devalue the product offering in the buyers’ minds  they
can buy it mainly when it goes on sale

• Useful for small brands seeking to enlarge their share, less
effective for a category leader whose growth lies in expanding
the entire category

“L'Illuminismo è l'uscita dell'uomo dallo stato di minorità che egli deve
imputare a se stesso.
Minorità è l'incapacità di valersi del proprio intelletto senza la
guida di un altro.
Imputabile a se stessi è questa minorità, se la causa di essa non
dipende da difetto di intelligenza, ma dalla mancanza di decisione e
del coraggio di far uso del proprio intelletto senza essere guidati da
un altro.
Sapere aude!
Abbi il coraggio di servirti della tua propria intelligenza! "
(I. Kant, 1784)
