The N YT on t he Web: A Ne w Wa y To Ta rget C usto me rs To handle alternate forms of interaction and updates, The New York Times created a separate unit, The New York Times Electronic Media Co. The New York Times on the Web (www.nytimes.com) has drawn over 11.4 million national unique users as of October 2005. The database contains demographic information, such as age, gender, income, and zip code, that ties to an e-mail address for each of the members. This new database marketing system can identify and customize user groups, target Web messages to specific segments of the population, and adjust the message based on audience reaction. It can also increase targeting opportunities through third-party data or additional information supplied by the user. © 2007 Prentice Hall

Th e NYT o n th e Web: A Way To Tar get Cu sto mer s

New

For example, the database enables an automobile firm to emphasize safety to older customers, luxury to affluent ones, and roominess to families. The system is set up so that near real-time data can be received from the Web that indicates how well ads are performing relative to age, gender, and income characteristics. Thus, this system allows a firm to maintain up-to-date information on audiences in order to position its products effectively.
