Addressable advertising - precision and efficiency in modern marketing
The marketing landscape is constantly changing, and with it the opportunities to address target groups more effectively. Addressable advertising is becoming increasingly important, particularly in the area of television advertising. It offers companies a way to play out their messages in a targeted and personalised way without having to accept wastage. Addressable advertising combines the proven reach of television with the precise targeting that is otherwise mainly known from online marketing.
How addressable advertising works
Addressable advertising is mainly based on smart TVs or internet-enabled televisions. These devices make it possible to deliver advertising content to specific target groups that are segmented according to demographic characteristics, interests or geographical location. In contrast to traditional TV advertising, where all viewers see the same adverts, playout can be personalised. For example, a local car advert can appear exclusively in certain cities, while a service that is better suited to the local audience is advertised in another residential area.
Example from the automotive industry:
- A car dealership specifically advertises new models in the greater Munich area, while at the same time a workshop campaign for tyre changes in Berlin is played out.
- A retailer uses addressable advertising to disseminate target group-specific offers for families with children, for example.
- A manufacturer places special promotions in line with the weather conditions in the respective region, such as winter tyre advertising during early snowfalls.
Advantages for companies and customers
The biggest advantage of addressable advertising lies in the optimisation of the budget. Companies only pay for the target group that is actually relevant. By eliminating unnecessary reach, costs are reduced while the advertising impact increases. Viewers also benefit from more relevant content, which increases acceptance of advertising and can therefore improve brand loyalty in the long term.
In retail, for example, seasonal offers can be communicated differently from region to region. A fashion shop in northern Germany, for example, displays winter collections, while spring goods are advertised south of the River Main. This ensures that the advertising message is always up-to-date and appropriate for the target group.
Practical application and industry examples
In the healthcare sector, clinics use addressable advertising to draw the attention of local patients to preventive check-ups or new treatment methods. In this way, they reach precisely the population groups that benefit most from them.
BEST PRACTICE with a client (name hidden due to NDA agreement) - A regional healthcare provider used Addressable advertising to target women aged 45-65 in urban areas. The campaign resulted in a noticeable increase in appointments for check-ups as the advertising was tailored to the interests and needs of the target audience.
Addressable advertising also opens up new opportunities in the tourism sector: tour operators can advertise beach holidays exclusively during the cold months in regions within Germany. Hotels in holiday destinations advertise special rates only to viewers who live in the vicinity and have recently visited the relevant websites.
