Comparison of Brand Marketing Power of Ads on Different Screens

 

Summary

The four types of screens have different marketing characteristics. Outdoor digital screen advertising mainly covers urban life. Its brand communication performance is good and its users generally have high consumption ability. However, the uncertainty of offline travel after the outbreak of Covid-19 leads to higher advertising communication risks of outdoor digital screens. Since OTT screen advertising can capture the attention of users at home, it targets household decision-makers. However, its users are older and have low consumption ability. Their conversion rate is low. PC screen advertising is mainly for working scenarios and entertainment scenarios. Users can click on PC screen advertising and interact. High-net-worth individuals whose monthly income is higher than 20001 yuan account for a high proportion. Mobilephone screen is omnipresent in modern social life. It has an extremely high user coverage and very sticky users. Its user behavior data can guarantee accurate ad placement. In addition, mobilephone has the highest penetration in teenagers.
