Designing Customer Contact Frequency — A Repeated Exposure Strategy

In targeted advertising, there is nothing as important as accurate segmentation Frequency of contactThat's right. A brand doesn't stick in people's minds after just one exposure.

Β

The 3-7-27 Rule — Generally, consumers need to be exposed to an ad at least three times to become aware of it, at least seven times to consider it, and only after sufficient exposure do they proceed to make a purchase. VM is a membership app environment that enables repeated exposure to the same segment.
Β

Cross-Channel Frequency Management — Rather than running VM campaigns in isolation, we design them to be executed in conjunction with search and social media so that messages accumulate across channels for the same customer.
Β

Fatigue Management — Excessive repetition leads to ad fatigue. Given its nature as a lifestyle platform, VM allows for natural adjustment of ad frequency.

Optimizing Traffic to the Campaign Page

No matter how precise the targeting is, it won’t be effective if traffic to the campaign page stops after users click on the ad.

Message Match
Consistency between ad creatives and landing page messages helps reduce the bounce rate.

Connecting to the App Environment
VM is instantly accessible via a deep link within the membership app, so users are directed there without having to switch to an external browser.

Landing Pages by Segment
Creating separate landing pages tailored to each segment’s characteristics increases the conversion rate after visitors arrive on the site.
