Yahoo! Impact Advertising

What is it?

A way of delivering adverts at varying degrees of targeting to people who will be interested in them.

How does it work?

Instead of advertising to every single Yahoo! user, you can choose to narrow your marketing activity to specific groups who we know will be much more likely to buy your products and services. We can target groups of people in a number of ways: by demographics, properties visited, interests or behaviour.

Why use it?

  • Avoids scattergun approach
  • Builds traffic
  • Very effective use of budget
  • High conversion rate

Yahoo! Impact Promotions

Daredevil


What is it?

With Yahoo! Promotions, you can run any kind of promotion on our site, from competitions and prize draws to games and special offers.

How does it work?

For example, if you're an FMCG brand and you need the maximum number of people seeing your promotion in the shortest time possible, use our Home Page. If you have a more targeted offer, such as a PC promotion, run this from our IT pages.

Yahoo! Delivers Impact

Yahoo! Delivers

What is it?

Yahoo! Delivers is a permission based direct marketing programme via email that's both targeted and highly relevant.

How does it work?

Firstly, you devise a promotional offer as either a full-colour HTML or plain text email. Then you send it to those Yahoo! users who reflect your target audience and are registered users. And, since the recipients have already indicated to us their interest in specific offers, you'll know they'll be receptive to promotional emails they receive from you.

Why use it?

· Proven effectiveness - redemption rates typically far higher than traditional direct marketing campaigns
· An excellent way of increasing click-through rates and boosting sales
· Activates a call to action
· Targets your audience by demographic, interests or behaviour
· Expands your registered customer base

This can last anything from a matter of days to a whole year - depending on the nature of the sponsorship.

Why use it?

  • Builds and develops brands through longevity of campaign
  • Reinforces positive consumer perception
