The Light Switch Effect Of Programmatic Advertising

You have more data at your disposal than you think you do. Online data provided by a user’s content consumption, including what websites they spend the most time on, what emails they view, and what links they click, is just the beginning of what can be used to power successful ad campaigns. Offline data – data taken from offline interactions, such as information about business purchase transactions, business registrations, and direct mail response – is equally as valuable. When you add a wider range of options, such as purchase history, financial health, geographic location, number of employees at a business, and years in business (just to name a few), you suddenly have a plethora of details at your fingertips, all of which is fair game (privacy laws heeded) for targeting users with specific advertisements.

Let’s think about this duel-headed programmatic advertising approach like a light switch. If you have all your efforts focused on online data, you’re not utilizing data on prospects that have yet to interact with you – in other words, you could be missing out on reaching quality leads. But if you switch the light all the way to “off,” and just look at offline data, you’re looking at information about companies, locations, and CRM databases, but there are holes in your plan that digital interactions can fill. When people have one switched on, they may forget about the other. The catch is that you don’t just need a happy medium between the two – you need both at full capacity for your campaign to yield the best results. It seems impossible to have both switches turned on at once, but it doesn’t have to be.

Deterministic first-party data & CRM data lay the foundation to bring valid offline data online, but they should not be utilized alone in your ad campaigns. Partnering with a trusted partner like AdDaptive Intelligence will provide you with the ability to dive much deeper, equipping you with capabilities to locate key decision-makers you’re looking to influence and pinpoint the best time to advertise to them. AdDaptive’s unique approach to IP targeting and account-based marketing combined with your personal insights, sales transactions, and other offline data creates a holistic view of your target audience.
