Brand Advertising on Game Sites Performs Best With Women Over 45
Posted by iTVX Staff on March 24th, 2008
According to a recent newsletter from Dynamic Logic, analysis from their MarketNorm database shows that Consumer Product advertisements on Gaming sites tend to perform much better among women ages 45+ compared with younger females. And this is not a small audience, says the report. 8.3 million women ages 45+ say they access the Internet to play online games, according to Focalyst from Millward Brown.
Digital gaming, concludes the report, can be an attractive advertising vehicle for brands because it allows for higher levels of consumer involvement and engagement. Each type of game offers different advertising opportunities, making it critical to understand the gaming landscapes and their audiences.
The chart shows the impact (as measured by the difference between women exposed to the ads and those in the control group) of CPG ads across various female age groups. Increases in the persuasion metrics are significantly higher among women ages 45+ compared to younger women. While there is almost no significant impact on Brand Favorability among females under age 45, CPG ads on Gaming sites yield a delta of +3.3 percentage points among females ages 45+.
