Addressable television: How to revolutionise your marketing

Addressable television is changing the way marketing works today. Companies can reach their target groups precisely and significantly increase the efficiency of their campaigns. This technology helps advertisers to play out relevant messages exactly where they are intended to be effective - without unnecessary wastage.

What is behind addressable television?

Addressable television is based on the use of data about viewers and households. This allows advertising to be customised for different target groups. This means that different households see completely different adverts during the same programme. This clearly distinguishes this method from traditional television advertising, where all viewers see the same adverts.

This personalised playout works via modern smart TVs or set-top boxes with an internet connection. A regional furniture retailer, for example, can target families in its sales area with adverts for a new kitchen collection. At the same time, single households receive adverts for innovative home accessories in the same programme.

BEST PRACTICE with a client (name withheld due to NDA agreement): Targeted addressable TV enabled a local car dealership to segment its advertising messages - families were presented with SUVs, while sporty vehicles were targeted at younger, tech-savvy viewers. This resulted in significantly higher customer affinity and more qualified enquiries.

Advantages for your marketing with addressable television

Addressable television offers companies a wide range of opportunities to organise advertising messages more efficiently. On the one hand, targeted playout minimises wastage considerably. This means that the available budget is better utilised and the advertising impact is increased. Secondly, the customised approach creates a higher level of attention among viewers. They are more likely to perceive adverts as relevant, which can have a positive effect on the brand image.

Another advantage is the improved measurability. Companies can track more precisely how many households have seen an advert and how they have reacted to it. This allows campaigns to be precisely evaluated and optimised.

BEST PRACTICE with one client (name withheld due to NDA agreement): A beauty salon used addressable TV to target women in their city individually - advertising for hair styling was targeted at young professionals, while older customers saw adverts for wellness services. This led to an increase in appointment bookings and improved customer loyalty.

Possible applications in various industries

Addressable television is used in many areas, as the technology adapts to the needs of different industries:

- Regionally specific offers and promotions can be advertised in the retail sector. For example, supermarkets can provide homeowners in the neighbourhood with targeted information about special offers.

- In the automotive trade, different vehicle models attract greater attention when they are played out precisely to the demographic and sociographic structure of the audience.

- In the healthcare sector, for example, pharmacies benefit from addressable campaigns that are tailored to specific age groups or health interests.

BEST PRACTICE with a customer (name withheld due to NDA contract): A pharmacy increased its regional visibility with addressable television and was able to provide target group-orientated information about seasonal offers, which led to more customer visits.

How to successfully design your marketing strategy with addressable television

In order to use addressable television effectively, it is advisable to observe the following steps:

1. target group analysis: Clearly determine who you want to reach with your advertising messages. Define demographic and behavioural characteristics.

2. regional targeting: Use the option of geo-targeting to direct advertising to specific postcodes or cities. This reduces wastage and is easy on the budget.

3. personalised content: Create advertising material that is tailored to the respective target groups. Different messages increase relevance.

4. duration and timing: Place your adverts in attention-grabbing time slots to achieve maximum impact.

5 Measurement and optimisation: Use detailed analyses to check the success and continuously adapt campaigns.
