Magazine advertising gives better ROI than first thought, Nielsen study shows

The return on investment (ROI) seen for magazine advertising grows substantially once the data more accurately reflects how consumers read magazines, a new Nielsen study shows.

The magazine advertising ROI for three leading FMCG brands moved from last to first place compared with other advertising once average readership data was replaced with the real-time weekly data available from Nielsen’s Magazine Audience Performance Predictor (MAPP).

MAPP boosted magazine’s ROI by 168% (up to 0.91 from 0.34), and more than doubled its contribution to sales (up to 23% from 10%).

The three brands studied operate in the aircare, healthcare and cleaning categories.

Nielsen’s head of client solutions, Andrew Palmer, says it isn’t surprising to see a lift in magazine ROI when using data that more accurately reflected how consumers read magazines.

“The case study results bring home the importance of clean, comprehensive input data, in order to get the most accurate output from the modelling to make the right business decisions.”

The platform will be a world first and the tender process is now open to expressions of interest.

The single trading platform is expected to be up and running in 2016.
