This effective tool provides immediate interaction between the station listener and the advertiser s promotion. Advertisers love this ad type because results are easily tracked, enabling accurate ROI calculations for their advertising dollars. What exactly is ad synchronization? Ad synchronization is pairing up an audio advertisement with a visible, clickable ad to accentuate an interaction between the audience listener and a specific promotion. The audio spot usually mentions in the ad that the listener can click on the synched banner in the player to visit the advertiser landing page and receive the benefits of the promotion - a discount coupon or a free trial for instance. When using Abacast ClarityTM Ad Insertion System, broadcasters simply upload the banner ad to the Abacast Ad Insertion Manager and attach it to the audio spot. The ads can be as simple as a static graphic with a URL linking to a landing page or can be as sophisticated as html code to work with pay-per-click and DART campaigns. Abacast provides detailed analytics to specifically track the ad campaign. The broadcaster can monitor the effectiveness of the campaign by impressions served as well as how many clicks the ad received during the specified timeframe that the ad played ---------------------------------------Gateway Ads A gateway ad (also known as a pre-roll ad) is an audio or video advertisement that plays when the audience member first starts up the stream. This effective ad location is seen and heard by every audience member because the ad must play before the audience member receives the stream. Abacast ClarityTM Ad Insertion System gives broadcasters the flexibility to schedule gateway ads to play at specific times of day throughout the week or month. Multiple campaigns can be organized and rotated to fit the needs of the advertiser. The ads can be as simple as a static graphic with background audio, to full Flash videos and are trackable through ClarityTM Analytics. Scheduling gateway advertising is easy using Abacast ClarityTM Ad Insertion System. Full AIS training is available weekly for all Abacast customers, and is great for new users of AIS, for existing users needing training on new features, or for existing users just wanting a "refresher course". An Added Bonus: A gateway advertising spot can be enhanced by using an in-stream audio ad with a synchronized banner for full media-player sponsorship campaigns. --------------------------------How is Abacast ClarityTM AIS Different? Abacast ClarityTM Ad Insertion System stands out from the crowd with some key differences: The most mature ad insertion product in the market First production deployment in 2005 Used by hundreds of stations Superior engineering = longer engagement Buffering system ensures smooth in/out of inserted ads Original audio stream is always preserved; no compressing or stretching of the audio Dynamic Leveling Control for even volume Comprehensive Platform Deepest solution in the industry Single-vendor solution, single number for support ----------------------------------Abacast Clarity Audience Analytics Abacast Radio Analytics, included as a standard part of our Claritytm Digital Radio System , accurately records online radio audiences and provides online broadcasters exact audience counts and advertiser affidavits. Terrestrial radio has historically been sold based on audience estimates, the best guess at how many people will hear a spot. Online advertising is sold by impressions, the exact, actual number of listeners who will hear or see a spot. These precise metrics allow advertisers to see concrete, track-able ROI. Abacast Radio Analytics provides these metrics in both real-time and historical, easy to read reports. Benefits of Abacast Analytics Online radio audiences are accurately recorded, avoiding previous drawbacks such as audience estimates from surveys or diaries.
