The results suggest that the effectiveness of iTV ads should be measured by their interaction rate rather than the much smaller response rate, and iTV advertisers should consider ways to maximize interaction and response rates.
Abstract:
This study explores the effects of interacting with three current interactive television (iTV) ad formats, using an Australian audience panel. Interaction with iTV ads has positive effects on awareness and net positive thoughts, which increase purchase intentions compared with the influence of regular ads. The telescopic format represents the best format, likely because it makes the most of the entertaining possibilities of iTV by offering additional long-form video; its superior performance cannot be explained readily by self-selection effects. The results suggest that the effectiveness of iTV ads should be measured by their interaction rate rather than the much smaller response rate, and iTV advertisers should consider ways to maximize interaction and response rates.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a pre-test/post-test experimental design to determine whether using popular mobile phone apps affects brand attitude and brand purchase intention, and found that using these apps has a positive persuasive impact, increasing interest in the brand and also the brand's product category.
TL;DR: The results show that entertainment, informativeness and customization are the strongest positive drivers, while irritation is negatively related to YouTube advertising, which affects both brand awareness and purchase intention of consumers accordingly.
TL;DR: It is revealed that individuals' intrinsic immersion tendencies have a positive moderating effect on the sensation of physical and self-presence, above and beyond the influence of screen size.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effectiveness of 15-second television commercials and 30-second TV commercials by using novel commercials with different message appeals (informational vs. emotional), exposing subjects multiple times, and employing multiple dependent variables.
TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework that integrates an established brand equity model with different stages of the purchase process is presented, using existing learning, new research data, and case studies to illustrate the various ways in which online advertising can help build brands and increase the probability of purchase.
TL;DR: The suite of interactive genres, formats and applications that currently constitutes ITV will be introduced and discussed, and some general conclusions concerning interactivity, television and the interactive user/viewer will be drawn.
TL;DR: It is suggested that interactivity can significantly affect comprehension as well as attitudes towards health Web sites and implications for the effective design of online health content are presented.
TL;DR: This article examined the persistence of ad-attitude effects as a function of the level of attention at encoding and the delay between ad exposure and response, and found that ad attitude effects do not persist in a number of instances.
Q1. What are the contributions in "A comparison of three interactive television ad formats" ?
This study explores the effects of interacting with three current interactive television ( iTV ) ad formats, using an Australian audience panel. The results suggest that the effectiveness of iTV ads should be measured by their interaction rate rather than the much smaller response rate, and iTV advertisers should consider ways to maximize interaction and response rates.
Q2. What have the authors stated for future works in "A comparison of three interactive television ad formats" ?
This exploratory study contains several limitations that further research could address. Third, the additional measures used in further research should include process variables, such as perceived interactivity, which the authors assume increases in the presence of interactive opportunities but do not measure directly ( Tremayne 2005 ). Fourth, though the authors use rigorous controls to rule out alternative explanations for their findings, such as primacy/recency effects, unequal offers across ad models, or differences in demographics, iTV is still a new phenomenon in Australia, and they can not rule out novelty effects. The authors also can not ignore the possibility that cultural factors, such as different preferences for the products advertised or varying experience with certain technologies ( e. g., Teletext ; Schweda, Bellman, and Varan 2005 ), may influence their results.
