Specific Media Launches Industry's First Comprehensive Offline Sales ImpactTM Reporting Product for Online Advertisers

Offline Sales Impact Reports Reveal How an Advertiser's Online Campaign Directly Correlates to Consumers' Offline Purchase Behavior

Irvine, Calif. -- October 21, 2008 -- Specific Media, the largest independent online advertising network, today announced the launch of Offline Sales Impact™, the industry's most comprehensive and accurate offline sales reporting product for online advertising clients across a variety of vertical markets including the automotive, retail and travel sectors. Specific Media's proprietary Offline Sales Impact reports reveal the direct correlation between online advertising campaigns and consumers' offline purchase behavior.

Utilizing test and control group data provided by leading third-party industry research firms including comScore and Nielsen Online, Specific Media is the only interactive media company that can track consumer purchases resulting directly from online advertising campaigns it runs on behalf of its advertisers. Specific Media provides these advertisers with the ability to understand the true impact of their campaigns and accurately measure ROI. Offline Sales Impact reports provide clients a deep view into campaign-generated unit sales, consumer purchase behavior, price sensitivity, lifestyle segmentation, and more.

"To effectively measure their spend, advertisers need to understand the direct sales impact their online campaigns are delivering in the offline marketplace," said Chris Vanderhook, co-founder and COO, Specific Media. "This need is magnified in a volatile economy, where every ad dollar spent needs to be quantified. We developed Offline Sales Impact to provide the most highly accurate, scientifically sound offline reporting capabilities in the industry, made possible through our partnerships with the most respected third-party data sources in the online advertising world."

Vanderhook adds that offline impact reporting is a unique benefit to online advertising. "TV and radio just can't provide this clear understanding of consumer purchase behavior as it relates to their advertising campaigns. As advertisers continue to take a hard look at their advertising spend in traditional channels, we're confident they will see a real benefit in the ability to better quantify their interactive advertising."

The third-party partnerships Specific Media maintains with leading research firms ensures consumer anonymity is maintained, and that online advertising privacy standards are fully upheld. Offline Sales Impact reports are customized for clients by industry, and are currently benefitting Specific Media customers in the retail, automotive, consumer packaged goods, entertainment and travel categories.
