Study Reveals Very High Recall Rates for Transit TV Advertising
Atlanta, GA, (PRWEB) July 13, 2007 -- A recent study of Transit TV's advertising effectiveness by Carroll Media resulted in an average advertising recall of 59 percent. Over all, 92 percent of Transit TV Atlanta viewers were able to recall one or more of surveyed commercials.
The study, Advertising Effectiveness Study for Atlanta MARTA Bus TV Screens, examines bus riders' advertising recall capability and opinions regarding the 1,217 Transit TV screens installed on 538 MARTA vehicles in Atlanta.
Respondents were asked to recall four specific commercials (a quick service chicken restaurant, soda, quick service coffee restaurant and home furnishings retail store) using three types of recall measures: unaided, aided, and super-aided. Among bus riders who watched Transit TV during the past month, 82 percent of viewers were able to recall at least two of the four surveyed commercials on an unaided/aided basis. The average unaided/aided recall for the four specified brands was 59 percent.
35 percent of riders were able to recall a commercial on an unaided basis. These results compare very favorably to traditional media such as Broadcast TV's 15 percent unaided recall rate (Nielsen Media Research 2000).
Results of the study indicate that viewers are frequently exposed to Transit TV throughout the week and have a favorable opinion toward the TV screens. Nine out of ten respondents watched Transit TV the day of the survey. The average number of days respondents spent riding MARTA buses in one week was 4.6. 79 percent of riders agree that Transit TV makes their ride seem faster and more enjoyable. Nearly all (94 percent) respondents rated Transit TV as very favorable or favorable.
Transit TV's audience is young; almost half of the survey respondents were under age 44. 22 percent were students, while the majority of student respondents (59 percent) were enrolled in college.
Study Methodology
Carroll Media surveyed 300 randomly selected respondents age 12 or older between May 21 and 22, 2007 in Atlanta, GA. Survey participants were interviewed as they exited the bus at one of four MARTA stations. Each respondent received $2 for participating in the study. Both English and Spanish versions of the survey were administered.

Satellite Internet Exchange: Nayasat
A study conducted by ?The Economist? magazine, showed a strong correlation between the price of a ?Big Mac? in a country and it?s cost of living. The cost of living?rent, consumer goods, food, entertainment( www.ticketnest.com ) is usually significantly higher in the US than in the developing world(and so is the price of a ?Big Mac?). However, ?Big Mac? index notwithstanding, the price of internet bandwidth in the third world is off the charts. As a point of comparison, a 1 Mbit/sec ADSL costs about 20 dollar for a home user in the US, and about 800 dollars in Pakistan. Needless to say, there is a strong need for a reduction in cost and improvement of quality of service.
