Behavioral Targeting: What is it?
• Observing customer or prospect’s online behavior and using that data to deliver relevant ads or Web site content
• Identifying data such as: Web sites and pages visited; tools used; time, length, frequency of visit
• Merging behavioral data with visitor data such as age, gender or ZIP code
Behavioral Targeting in the news
• Google-DoubleClick
• Yahoo!-Right Media
• WPP Group-24/7 Real Media
• Microsoft-aQuantive
• AOL-Tacoda
BlueLithium + Hyatt Hotels and Resorts
Case Study
Hyatt Hotels and Resorts
Situation:
• Hyatt, a leading hotel and resort destination, wanted to increase visits to their resort/spas.
• Their target resort/spa visitor is a female professional with a family, looking for a quick weekend getaway, usually at the last minute.
– Different from luxury resort/spa visitors who book in advance, have longer stays and are less price sensitive.
• Behavioral Targeting was chosen to find this very specific audience segment
Hyatt Hotels and Resorts
Audience:• Target :
1) Moms
2) Females, ages 25-54• For both groups, HHI of $150,00+ and history
of researching travel in past 30 days • Challenge:
– Locate this very specific audience, while in market for resort/spa getaway.
– Decision-making time often two weeks or less.
Hyatt Hotels and Resorts
What we did:– Started with demographic targeting of Females 25-54
and Mom’s, with high HHI.– Overlaid AdPath Audience Targeting (“recent travel
research segment”) to create a tight focus.– Scaled the segment using Selective Inventory
Partnership (SIP).– Added AdPath Site Remarketing.– In parallel, we tested other audience segments:
• Found that Female HHI $40K+ outperformed higher HHI, added to campaign to boost performance.
Hyatt Hotels and Resorts
Results:BlueLithium beat Hyatt’s targeted cost per customer by 74%

Why are we talking about behavioral targeting?
• Acquisition costs rising and conversion rates decreasing
• Power switch from marketers to users: Push to pull
• Key is put customers at the center of your marketing strategy, and move from mass market to behavioral targeting
Key learnings
• All about targeting and not just behavioral targeting
• The Google lesson: Art and Science is key to success
• Experience is far more important than the placement
Overstock.com Case Study
• Geoff Atkinson, Marketing Chief of Staff• Issues we faced:
– Difficulty in fully realizing customer lifetime value:

• Difficulty in creating an experience that can leverage differences between behavior and attributes of site visitors
• Solution: Leverage power of behavioral targeting:– Provide value to prospects, customers, and bottom line
– Provide organizational learning to feed back into marketing processes and shape future strategies
– Provide consistent brand message between key online channels
