IPTV Uses Target Ads

by Kathryn Lang

IPTV offers advertisers an opportunity to target more specific audiences than traditional cable broadcasts. Many companies and industry experts through the world are closely watching the advertising that is going out over IPTV and getting set to gauge its success.

France leads most of the world in IPTV subscribers. This high subscription base is due mainly to the inferior programming that is available in most of the country. Consumers want choice.

IPTV is having its strongest success in markets where viewing choices are limited to the consumers. In countries where there is high program saturation – and viewers have their choice of programs as well as providers – IPTV growth is much slower. This is particularly evident in the United States.

The IPTV is looking to France because this idea of target ad is unique to this technology. Companies can now pick which ads to send by what interests, tastes, and other factors viewers have shown a tendency towards. It is expected that targeting advertising will be a major revenue producer in the near future.

The profitability of IPTV target ads will be more in countries like France, Spain, and Italy. The US and the UK have multi-channel TV already easily accessible. The revenues for these IPTV ads look to be limited at best in these markets.

As the use of IPTV continues to spread, more companies are likely to understand the convenience and wisdom behind using target ads.
