MarketingSherpa has released its 2008 Online Advertising Handbook + Benchmarks report. They sent a copy for us to take a look and it is without doubt the most complete, concise and fact filled piece of hefty online data goodness out there. It’s all about planning, designing, executing, and measuring online ad campaigns and has research from a survey with 577 online advertisers.
Dayparting, frequency capping, demographics, online media consumption patterns, spending levels, clickthrough myths, designing the perfect online ad, ad recall, average clickthrough rates, conversion rates, landing page design, online video, gaming, rich media, targeting strategies, contextual and behavioral advertising, online media buying tips. Everything. It’s all in there.
The Handbook also includes an advertising eye tracking study conducted with MarketingSherpa’s partner, Eyetools which reveals how important online ad placement (position) can be to a campaign’s ROI.
