The festive season is the most awaited time of year for brands and advertisers. This year it’s closer to heart, considering the weak first half of 2020 due to Covid19.
Although the lockdown had its adverse effects on ad revenues during the first half, it has created a surge in TV viewership over the last few months unlike ever before. Now with IPL and the festive season here together, we see brands and agencies advertising regularly on TV and everyone’s ad spends are on steroids.
It now becomes more important than ever to keep track of how well your TV campaigns are performing as crores are being spent. And for this, you need reliable TV viewership data that is also real-time, so that you’re on top of things at all times.
If you’re wondering where you can find your daily dose of TV viewership data and campaign analytics (highly accurate at that), the answer is right here.
We are providing you a solution that traditional TV viewership measurement systems can’t give:
Zapr Daily allows you to stay on top of the past, present, and future of your TV campaigns – in other words, get the insights you need to know before your campaign starts, while it airs live and after it's done.
Here’s a list of things you can do by subscribing to Zapr Daily:
- Analyze if you’re advertising on the right set of channels and time-slots for maximum reach
Get the top 50 most viewed channels of your TG within their specific markets. Compare its reach with that of your existing media plan. This will help you identify where you can get the most incremental reach, i.e., compare which channels are letting you reach more unique audiences, and which are not.
Such an analysis will help you eliminate the channels that don’t give you high incremental reach. And you don’t even have to worry about losing the unique audiences of those channels. We can help you target them on digital, helping you save around 15% on your spending. - Understand what, where and when exactly your target audiences watch TV to help pick the right ad spots
By getting data on TV viewership preferences and habits of your TG, you’ll be able to answer questions like:
- How long did they watch a particular channel or show at a certain time-slot?
- What are the top channels and shows your TG watches on a weekday, as compared to the weekends?
- Which part of the country did most of the viewers of a specific show live in? Which states they belong to, and which location class?

This will help you tweak your media plan on the go as you will now be aware of what is working and what is not. - Look at how your campaigns performed through various lenses once it's over
Done with a campaign? Now comes the moment of truth. Analyze your TV commercial performance at a brand, channel, and market level. Look at how many people it reached and how many times on a weekly or even daily basis.
Compare its reach, average frequency, and impressions between weekdays vs. weekends, or even prime time vs. non-primetime slots. You can even check for what ad frequency worked best for your brand’s ads at both channel and market level. - Conduct post-campaign brand lift surveys for timely feedback
You can further measure how effective your campaigns are by analyzing brand awareness, brand recall, TV ad recall, ad message recall, purchase intent, etc. Here’s how PharmEasy went about this. They first identified those who watched your TV ads and run brand lift surveys on their phones and compared their responses with those who hadn’t similarly.
With a post-campaign analysis, you can identify the optimal frequency of your TV ad exposure, assess the impact of your channels and ad spots, figure out the best performing creative, etc. This will help you get quick feedback for timely action.
