What is segmented TV?
Segmented TV is an advanced TV advertising technique that allows for the delivery of advertising spots specifically tailored to defined audience groups. Unlike traditional TV spots, which target a broad audience without distinction, Segmented TV uses precise data to target specific segments of viewers. This means that ads are broadcast based on criteria such as interests, purchase behaviors, or demographic characteristics.
For example, a company might choose to air an advertising spot on channels or at times that align with the preferences of a specific group, thereby enhancing the relevance of the message and the likelihood of engagement.
Why use targeted TV advertising?
Targeted TV advertising offers several advantages for businesses looking to optimize the effectiveness of their advertising and marketing campaigns. By allowing for the targeting of specific audience segments, targeted advertising maximizes the relevance of the messages delivered, which can lead to a significant increase in return on investment. It enables you to concentrate your budget on particularly relevant segments.
For example, a luxury product brand might target high-income audience segments, while a local business could focus on viewers in a specific geographic area. This level of personalization helps reach consumers who are most likely to be interested in the products or services offered.
How does a segmented TV campaign work?
A segmented TV campaign begins with defining the audience segments you want to reach. This involves analyzing demographic and behavioral data to identify the most relevant viewer groups for your message. Then, the advertisements are tailored and broadcast based on the chosen segmentation criteria.
Audience segments can be targeted based on the following criteria:
- Socio-demographic characteristics: age, profession, income level
- Household composition: singles, large families
- Type of housing: collective, individual, owner, tenant
- Television consumption: light, medium, or heavy viewers
- Interests: sports, automobiles, decoration, environment, science fiction
A targeted TV advertisement can be scheduled to appear during shows or at specific times that align with the viewing habits of the targeted segments. With advanced measurement tools, it is possible to track the effectiveness of each campaign in terms of reach, engagement, and conversion, allowing for ongoing optimization of your campaigns to maximize results.
