Ten: Putting products into TV shows boosts purchase intent
New research conducted for Network Ten suggests integrating products into TV shows delivers significant uplift in purchase intent.
Combining integration with TV ads multiplies the effect, according to the study by Marketing Scientist Group.
The study found:
- Purchase intent increased 21 per cent via integration
- Average recall is 29 per cent higher when integration is combined with regular ad in commercial break
- Purchase intent on average 10 per cent higher for frequent viewers of a programme
- The more viewers like a show, the greater the ad impact. For viewers who said they liked a programme, purchase intent was 54 per cent higher for brands advertised within it
- Shows with high levels of social media engagement and ‘talkability’ produce bigger ad impacts
Network Ten chief sales officer Rod Prosser said the research should help brands better harness TV to ensure campaigns are more effective.
“The research tells us that positive show engagement is key when it comes to ad impact,” said Prosser.
“The more a viewer likes and engages with a program, the more likely they are to recall or purchase brands featured in or around it. This is great news for Ten. We know that our programs perform very well in under 50s and we know that our under 50s audience is highly engaged with our content. The winners, therefore, are our brand partners.”
