They are also easier to understand (+4% points) • People are more likely to take actions that fit with being at the end of the buying process in response to ads placed on Thursday to Saturday, such as visiting the advertiser’s website (+3% points), visiting the advertiser (+4% points) and actual buying (+5% points) • Engagement with ads is very similar across the week, so earlier in the week is perfect for brand building and priming campaigns Source: RAMetrics.
