Make an Impact on Your Audience with Connected TV Advertising in San Antonio
Quantifi Digital is the only name you need to know if you're interested in reaching prospective customers in San Antonio. Advertising on cable used to be an easy decision for any company that could afford it, but the rise of OTT (or Over-The-Top) content providers has split viewers across countless services. Did you know that the OTT viewing audience is expected to reach 200 million people by 2021? If you aren't sure how to optimize local TV advertising in San Antonio these days, our experts are happy to answer any questions you have.
What is Connected TV?
Connected TV, or CTV for short, is any form of watching television that doesn't involve a traditional cable or satellite subscription. Viewers love CTV because it affords them more flexibility in what they watch and when, but advertisers may have a tougher time serving commercials than they would if all viewers were still using the same handful of services. That said, Quantifi Digital is equipped to use CTV to help you reach your intended audience.
For example, TV commercial breaks are generally long enough for viewers to get up and grab a drink, reducing audience engagement with the ads. In contrast, CTV ad breaks are much shorter, providing added incentive to watch them through. VOD ads are also unskippable, leading to in-view rates of 100 percent. Digital ads can also be interactive, encouraging viewers to engage with the product or service you provide.

Why should local TV advertising in San Antonio be an essential component of my marketing strategy?
With traditional TV spots, you pick a show that you think your target audience is watching and buy commercials during it. Networks charge you for the raw number of viewers who are likely to see your ad, even if they aren't part of the audience you're targeting. As a result, you end up wasting a significant percentage of your ad spend.
In contrast, we can serve digital ads to consumers who meet the age, gender, and income requirements you specify. Older viewers like CTV just as much as their younger counterparts, with 22 percent of total viewers at least 55 years old in one recent study. We can also adjust the geographic scope of your campaign, allowing you to target a specific ZIP code or the entire state of Texas depending on your needs. Therefore, you are likely to generate more promising leads even if fewer people see your ad overall.
Digital ads can also be retargeted, which means that viewers who watch one ad will see follow-ups to help keep you at the forefront of their minds. Best of all, we provide comprehensive information about the efficacy of your marketing campaign, making it easier to use data such as frequency and device delivery rates to adjust your strategy. Unfortunately, there is a lot more guesswork involved with traditional campaigns.
