Evian baby viral video has much higher ROI than Etrade baby superbowl ad
The Evian baby viral ad (red spike) got almost as much search volume as eTrade’s Superbowl ad of 2009 (blue spike). But Evian paid millions less by skipping the expense of airing the video on traditional media; instead they just posted it to YouTube for free. But notice that in both cases the effect was ephemeral (not long lasting) — notice the narrowness of the spike. Interest in the viral video also subsided quickly. But at least Evian didn’t waste millions on producing and airing it — thus achieving a massively larger ROI than Etrade who paid to make the ads and then air it at great expense on the Superbowl for the last 3 years.

Traditional ads are like homeless marketing – at best you’ve got a glance to get your message across
by: Aoife city womanchile
Homeless marketing – they hold up a sign and hope that passersby will look down, read the sign, then stop, take out their wallet, take some money out, and give it to them. What’s the probability of that happening? What are the chances they will even get a glance? Same thing happens with TV ads, print ads, radio ads, and all forms of traditional push ads. Where is the value exchange? There is none.
