Research undertaken by Ebiquity on behalf of Think TV has found that fast-moving consumer goods companies receive a return of $A1.74 for each dollar they spend on TV advertising. In contrast, other forms of advertising have a negative return on investment for each dollar spent. The research, which is based on three years’ worth of advertising sales data for nine companies, also shows that 73 per cent of FMCG sales are base sales, while advertising accounts for just three per cent of sales.
