Addressable television: A valuable companion for smart decision-makers
In today's media landscape, the efficiency of advertising measures is becoming increasingly important. More and more companies are relying on the advantages of addressable television, to reach their target groups precisely and effectively. This advanced technology makes it possible to target television advertising individually to specific households, significantly reducing wastage and optimising the use of budgets. The targeted approach makes Addressable television an indispensable strategy for smart decision-makers.
How Addressable television complements and surpasses traditional forms of advertising
In contrast to traditional television advertising, where all viewers receive the same advertising message, addressable television allows individual target groups to be addressed in a customised manner. Advertisers can differentiate based on demographic characteristics, regional data and individual viewing habits. For example, a provider of sportswear can reach sports enthusiasts in metropolitan areas during a live broadcast, while at the same time a regional furniture retailer can only play adverts in its catchment area.
Companies from the automotive industry also benefit: While one family is watching an advert for electric vehicles, another is watching a commercial for gardening tools at the same time - both viewers are watching the same TV programme, but with different interests. This results in less wastage and the messages have a much greater impact.
This targeted approach increases campaign efficiency and contributes to cost savings. Medium-sized companies in particular find Addressable television an opportunity to use TV advertising efficiently, budget-friendly and yet effectively.
Examples from different industries
A manufacturer of natural cosmetics uses addressable television to target its adverts in urban areas with a high proportion of sustainability-oriented consumers. At the same time, the manufacturer of DIY supplies can run local campaigns in rural regions without incurring high wastage. A B2B provider of office equipment also reaches decision-makers in specific sectors, such as banks or agencies.
BEST PRACTICE with a customer (name hidden due to NDA contract): The client recently started using addressable television to advertise regional events efficiently. A target group was defined that led to a noticeable increase in the number of participants within a few weeks. At the same time, advertising costs were saved as the adverts were only shown when the target group was actually present.
Advantages and practical tips for the use of addressable television
Addressable television offers a number of advantages that clearly set it apart from traditional forms of advertising:
- Minimisation of wastage through precise targeting of individual households or people.
- Cost efficiency through lower production costs and better budget control.
