V. Assessment of individual formats and campaign success

Evaluation of most successful formats

Brand “A”

  • The campaign reached 1,564,176 users

  • A total of 893,815,599 clickthroughs achieved

  • Average price per click CZK 191.70

The most successful websites as regards cost per click (CPC) were as follows:

  1. radiobeat.cz CTR = 0.36 %, CPC = CZK 35.40 (banner format), cost per UV = CZK 0.70

  2. stahuj.cz CTR = 0.19%, CPC = CZK 43. 80 (button format), cost per UV = CZK 0.20

  3. stahuj.cz CTR = 0.08%, CPC = CZK 35.70 (Leader Board format), cost per UV = CZK 0.10

 

Brand “B”:

  • The campaign reached 2,221,155 users

  • A total of 82,486,599 clickthroughs achieved (without PPC systems)

  • Average price per click CZK 19.20

Brand “B”’s lower price per click compared with brand “A” is due to the use of mass portals, where the price for displaying a banner is significantly lower than with narrow target groups, due to the accessibility of the advertisement. A targeted advertisement and a higher target group always occupies a more expensive price range (fewer impressions, more money, engagement of target groups A, B) specifically due to the fewer number of displays offered to advertisers.

 

The most successful formats as regards cost per click (CPC) were as follows:

  • banner ahead on IDOS.cz CTR 0.22% CPC CZK 9.10

  • Atlas – email – hypertext (submitted section) CTR 0.16% CPC CZK 26.90

  • Volny.cz – direct mail CTR 26% CPC CZK 43

  • 365dni.cz – banner CTR 0.17% CPC CZK 24.60

  • ceskehospudky.cz – text link CTR 0.22% CPC CZK 73.50

The campaign achieved excellent results in cost per click and added value. The level of clickthroughs, particularly emailing, also attained an above-average value. Another successful format in terms of number of clickthroughs, CPT and CTR is blesk.cz – the menu format. This format came in a close second to emailing on volny.cz for number of users (10,464).

 

Recommended format for future campaigns:

After an assessment of the success of the formats used in the campaigns, we propose the following formats, which will also be used in the Fall 2007 campaign:

  • E-mailing

  • buttons (250x250, 240x240, 300x300)

  • Ahead (700x100)

  • hypertexts

  • Google AdWords – in comparison with total campaign results (15,477 clicks total) at CZK 2,650,000 and with costs for AdWords at CZK 46,000 for the month of April, which generated a total of 13,780 clicks. For this reason we recommend focusing on AdWords as a tool that we should use preferentially to achieve numerical targets.
