Segmented TV advertising proves effective
Despite its recent creation, segmented TV advertising has nothing to envy to classic TV advertising. The year 2022 has proven the effectiveness of this advertising device, and the numbers speak for themselves.
In terms of sales, companies that have used segmented TV advertising report up to a 24% increase in incremental revenue:
- +1 and +3% incremental sales for Cora Private Label (retail sector) ;
- +5% incremental sales for Brets (food);
- +7% to +27% incremental sales for Corala (food).
The SNPTV emphasizes that segmented TV advertising also helps to increase traffic in stores: Gifi (specialized distribution) noted an 11% increase in visits to its stores after its segmented campaign.
And the traffic on the brands' websites is not left out:
- E-2008 (automotive sector) saw a 6-fold increase in visits to its product web pages;
- Deliveroo reported a 5% increase in visits and an 11% increase in orders placed on its platform.
These results are not only valid for large companies: the SNPTV report explains that segmented TV advertising is effective regardless of brand size.

Segmented TV advertising: a device that will increase in effectiveness
The success of segmented TV is not about to stop and should even be multiplied. The SNPTV explains that the next few years should see an increase in the number of communication operators eligible for segmented TV. In addition, the performance of the device should be increased thanks to the introduction of third-party data allowing more precise targeting for advertisers.
