Bannerblog: Apple: Satisfaction Meter

    Soooo over this campaign. The pc guy has much more personality and appeal to me than the mac guy.

    Very over indeed. Banner isn't that fancy....and the pc guy is making fun of the Apple guy.

    I was thinking about media costs, as well, after seeing this yesterday. I'll try my best to get a cost range, but input would be greatly appreciated:

    START: Let's make this easy and assume they ran these ads on CNN.com, NYTimes.com and Wall Street Journal (WSJ.com):

    a) CNN.com daily uniques --
    ~5MM (Source: TechCrunch, http://tinyurl.com/5nt4jj)

    b) NYTimes daily uniques --
    ~66MM (Source: Editor & Publisher, http://tinyurl.com/5kqr5o)

    c) WSJ.com daily uniques --
    ~236M (Source: Dallas Morning News, http://tinyurl.com/6xnwfv)

    ===
    TOTAL UNIQUES: 5,302,000
    ===

    Guessing the CPM on these sites is the tricky part. TBWA/Chiat/Day probably has a good relationship with all three sites as they likely run ads in their offline equivalents. Let's account for some savvy negotiations and say the CPM is in the range of $15 - 40 per site for this placement.

    And in this big of a buy, I'll bet that the publisher site is covering the PointRoll serving fee, but we can put this in the range of $0 - $2.50.

    LOW estimate: 5302M * $15 = $79,530 per site
    HIGH estimate: 5302M * ($40 + $2.50) = $225,355 per site

    ===
    LOW TOTAL COST = $238,590 USD

    HIGH TOTAL COST = $676,065 USD
    ===
    Conversions:
    AUD range $366,892 to $1,039,620

    EUR range €188,698 to €534,692

    GBP range £158,048 to £447,843

    ***
    It'd be great to get some other input here because I've made some broad (probably inane) assumptions. Anyone else have thoughts?

    If this is a fixed roadblock on the homepage and lets say they get like 500K visits in one day... it would be about $20K to own those spots for the day. That's my educated guess anyway : )
  • tetuanrp · 1 year ago
    Actually upwards of 200k . . .

    wow. they actually included a call to action at the end of their banner.

    A few years back I remember trafficking an ad to the Yahoo networks homepage "masthead east" (smaller unit with no sound)that was 400K for the day. Granted, Yahoo is going to charge more than the NYT, but 200k seems more accurate to me.
