Online ads: Information providers

November 07, 2003 |

Online ads may not always lead to online purchases, but they are increasingly influential in shaping brand perceptions, providing information and generating offline sales.

The Dieringer Research Group’s 2003 American Interactive Consumer Survey shows that online ad sales are benefiting from a stronger economy and an increasingly positive consumer perception.

Consumers don’t just turn to online advertisements for shopping and online purchases. They are also becoming valuable sources of information. A company’s online presence affects brand opinions as customers search the Web to locate products and compare prices.

Research collected over the last nine years through a telephone survey of American adults has revealed that while ad clicking has increased, it is still below pre-recession levels. By mid-year 2003, only 52% of adults clicked on ads, compared to 54% in 1999.
