Nielsen to Track Link Between Viewing and Spending

Jun 22, 2008  •  Post A Comment

The Nielsen Co. is showing off a new measurement service that links viewing of a particular show or network to consumer spending on particular products or product categories.
The information could prove influential in helping advertisers and media buyers decide where to place ads for those products.
In its first analysis, Nielsen found that Sony Pictures Television’s TV and Internet properties reach households that spend $346 billion annually on consumer packaged-good products. That accounts for 83.2% of all spending on packaged goods, Nielsen said. Those numbers don’t take into account the exposure those households have to other sources of programming.
The households watching Sony content at least once a month spend $3,700 annually on average for packaged goods, 7% higher than households that don’t. Households viewing Sony content both on TV and on the Web spend $4,200 annually on packaged goods, 20% higher than non-viewing households.
“Through research like this, we are addressing advertisers’ requests for accountability and innovation by providing new and better metrics that are even more directly related to their businesses and customers,” said Amy Carney, president, advertiser sales of Sony Pictures Television. “Ultimately, we hope to create a better understanding of the true value of our properties and the return on investment it provides clients.”
In addition to being the first television studio to use Nielsen’s packaged goods audience product, Sony also took a look at users of over-the-counter pharmaceuticals.
“These new metrics could help change the way advertisers buy media by giving them a way to target their core customers,” said Jon Mandel, CEO of NielsenConnect. “This is a major step forward for marketers and we believe that any media company that offers these metrics will have a competitive advantage when it comes to selling advertising space.”
NielsenConnect created the figures by linking Nielsen’s consumer Homescan panel, its National People Meter television panel and its online NetView panel. The combination provides a look at what media is being consumed by a marketer’s target audience.

  33. Thanks much for the great document. I am glad I’ve taken the time to learn this.

  34. Excellent piece, thanks. Could you expand on the second point in additional detail please?

  35. Hello there, I like the blog post! I’ve been following your blog for a couple of days now and i am genuinely savoring it. I actually had a couple of questions in relation to your blog though. Ya think it will be possible for me to contact you further to discuss it? Possibly setup a chat on e-mail or an instant messanging application? If not, cheers anyhow and I am going to continue to read and comment.

  36. I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

  37. If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

  38. Super-Duper site! I am loving it!! Will come back again – taking you feeds also, Thanks.

  39. I assume Aol. Must be both the best plus the worst on the yr. It’s the ideal, due to the fact yes, it will likely be seen the most. It also does set a long run for that brand, incredibly various from their past as Online, Inc. It will be also very inventive; it really is incredibly diverse. It should be the worst though because the execution is horrible. The idea, however is resourceful, just sucks. There exists very little cons istency, plus the wordmark bores me.

  40. Sorry for the substantial review, but I am really loving the new Zune, and hope th is, as effectively as the excellent evaluations some other folks have written, will help you decide if it’s the right decision for you.
