Online Ad Effectivness Impacted by Time of Day

A study by the U.K. Internet Advertising Bureau with Lightspeed Research found that online consumers of all ages believe they are more likely to pay attention to ads from the early evening onward. Younger audiences in particular showed more interest in commercial messages as the day progressed, while older age groups had distinct peaks in attention between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Only 4.6% of consumers say they’re likely to pay attention before 9 a.m., but after 6 p.m. the figure climbs to 51.6% and, for 35- to 44-year-olds, as high as 59%. In the 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. lunchtime slot, consumers have other things on their mind and an average of only 11% pay attention to ads.

    I’d have to allow with you on this. Which is not something I typically do! I love reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!

    I’d be inclined to grant with you one this subject. Which is not something I usually do! I love reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!
