AdMission Corporation, an online display advertising technology
company, has announced that Builder Homesite, Inc. (BHI), a consortium
of 36 of the nation's largest home builders, has partnered with
AdMission to create a customized dynamic advertising platform. The
solution will feature BHI's new homes listing data, combined with
AdMission's targeted, dynamically customized, branded ad templates,
and will be made available to more than 400 U.S. home builders.
Prior to finalizing the AdMission-powered solution, BHI conducted
an 8- week pilot advertising program on www.newhomesource.com, the
company's flagship consumer-facing online portal for new homes.
Early AdMission ad campaign participants experienced ad click-through
performance that was more than double that of standard display
advertising run concurrently on the site. The new ad platform is being
rolled out to consortium members immediately.
"Pulte Homes' Orlando division began running the
AdMission banner ads on NewHomeSource.com a couple of months ago, and we
are also running four other promotional banner ads at the same
time," said Kristin Vuckovic, marketing manager for Pulte
Homes' Orlando division. "We get a very good click-through
rate with our creative on NewHomeSource.com, but we were thrilled to
find a click-through rate that is four times better as a result of using
the AdMission style of ads."
"We have been very impressed with the results of the AdMission
creative," said Tim Costello, CEO of BHI. "Even compared to
some of the best creative campaigns run on New Home Source, we have seen
a huge increase. As we expand the program to include our builder ad
placements in Yahoo! Real Estate and Trulia, we expect home builders to
greatly expand their use of this type of creative unit. It makes display
advertising perform at levels close to pay- per-click while generating
brand value."
"This is a valuable use of BHI's new homes listing
data," said Sarah Pate, president and CEO of AdMission Corporation.
"We're pleased to be able to bring the same database-driven,
dynamic ad creation to home builders that we have been able to establish
for auto dealers. We look forward to helping BHI grow their solution
into the preeminent advertising platform for home builders throughout
the nation."
