The new PBC study “Engagement in advertising” will allow testing a larger number of respondents (up to 30,000 a year) and using new indicators when planning press campaigns.
Until mid-2018, the readership survey was carried out
using the CAPI method, which involves the respondent completing a questionnaire
using a computer in the company of an interviewer. Then online surveys (CAWI)
joined the research standard, interviews were also enriched with the
presentation of the first pages of the last 4 editions of each title.
New indicators, available from November 2019, were
obtained thanks to, among others sales and eyetracking data. 600 people have
already been tested, 1,200 ads in 70 different titles have been presented to
them. During the research, the respondents’ eyeballs work was recorded, thanks
to which it was possible to determine the way of reading the press and noticing
advertisements.
Research has created 4 new advertising indicators that
will be used to build press media plans:
• adExposure – the average number of contacts the
reader has with one advertisement in writing throughout the lifetime of the
issue of the magazine and many contacts of the reader with the issue. The indicator
determines the number of real contacts with the ad
• adExposureTime – defines how many seconds the reader
spent reading one advertisement in writing during the entire lifetime of the
magazine and many contacts with the edition. It is a measure of focus – the
longer the exposure time of the ad, the greater the chance to remember its
elements and understand the marketing message
• adReach – defines the percentage or number of people
in the target group who have actually seen the advertisement in writing. It is
calculated as the coverage range modeled by copy sales and advertising
visibility
• realGrossImpression – a measure of the intensity of
the campaign, the total number of high-quality contacts with the ad obtained
during the entire advertising campaign. “Real” means that one contact
with the ad is on average 2/3 of a second
