Twice each year, Readex Research sends an advertising perception survey to a randomly selected, anonymous group of subscribers and compiles the results for us. Weve just received the results of the July survey, in which readers rated their perception of each ad in terms of attention-getting ability, believability and information value. Julys winners are: Sunoco, most attention-getting; Ciba Specialty Chemicals, most believable; and Chevron Phillips Chemical, most informative. Congratulations!
And thank you, anonymous readers who took the time to study and score each ad. We share the compiled scores – good and bad – with each advertiser, so they can gauge the relative performance of their ads and discover how to communicate more effectively with you.
In addition to scoring ads, survey recipients are also asked to complete a short readership survey. Replies over the years have been amazingly consistent: three out of four read half or more of every issue of LubesnGreases, and the same percent save each issue for reference; respondents spend an average of more than 50 minutes with each issue; nine out of 10 have taken some action based on reading articles or columns; and a resounding seven out of 10 have acted on the basis of seeing ads in LubesnGreases. (Actions prompted by ads include discussing the ad with others, passing the ad along to others, ?ling the ad for reference, contacting the advertiser, recommending the product or service, and of course purchasing the product or service.)
