Wayfair's “Looking for furniture prices you won't believe?” ad was one of the Top U.S. In-Market Online Video Ads Of The Week measured for advertising effectiveness by ABX Advertising Benchmark Index the week of 7-18-22. It had an ABX score of 130, that was an above average score for GenPop, Category, and Medium. ABX's Gender Equality Index (GEI) for the Male Character was 111 and the Girl Character 108, both above average. This ad was visually pleasing, upbeat, and had a clear message.
I liked how Wayfair showcased products that were on sale in each room of the house with different characters. The character, who stole the show, in my opinion, and what made me want to view the ad multiple times was the dog! I believe dog lovers like me would agree!

Duracell had one of the Top Online In-Market Video Ads Of The Week measured in the U.S. for advertising effectiveness by ABX Advertising Benchmark Index the week of 7-11-22 . I loved watching this Duracell ad. You watch two RC trucks racing side-by-side up the Duracell battery, with the Duracell Coppertop Powerboost winning. What a fun visual! It reminded me of playing the water gun games at the carnival, where you aimed at the bullseye and the one who moved their character to the very top first won.

We all know Chipotle fell from grace in 2015 with an e-coli scandal that cost them billions of dollars over many years. Today, they are more successful than ever.

ABX tested 100's of Chipotle ads from 2015 through YTD and found powerful correlations to revenue. The story below is a teaser of those findings, which will be presented in full to students at Pennsylvania State University soon.

Of course there are always those that don't work, as well. Below are a sample of each and some tips for using radio effectively in crisis times.

Are consumers spending more for Holiday In-Store or Online? During the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend, which of the two are getting the lion's share? We've been watching this for the past five years through a Share of Wallet survey during the seven weeks surrounding the big weekend. The purpose is to see what respondents are spending for gifts at the top retailers. The data provides insights to our retail clients, so they can tie results to their ad effectiveness results. We hope it is also useful to you. This year's survey covered 14,110 respondents, or roughly 2,000 per week over seven weeks.
