Major
online push
by J.P. Morgan Chase
Credit card offers account
for 7 of 10 top banners
By Marty Beard
Credit card offers long have flooded consumers' mailboxes and
been splashed across everything from magazine pages to sports arena
signage, so it's no surprise to find them an increasing presence on the
internet, especially now with the bargain-basement-priced banners.
But lately one credit
card issuer in particular has dominated the web: J.P. Morgan Chase.
For the week
ending
July 15, J.P. Morgan Chase had seven of the 10 most-widely-seen online ads,
according to the latest Nielsen//NetRatings data. J.P. Morgan Chase banners
occupied slots No. 3 and 4 and Nos. 6 through 10.
J.P. Morgan Chase is but one of the credit card giants
that has found the web a cost-efficient means of luring new customers. Capitol One
acquired 1.4 million new customers in 2000 through its web campaigns.
J.P. Morgan Chase banners
advertised several of the bank’s credit cards: Chase Platinum Visa and
MasterCard; a Shell Platinum MasterCard and Continental Airlines Visa and
MasterCard.
The No. 3 ad, with
copy reading, "Shopping sprees have never been so guilt free. A low
2.99% APR and no annual fee. Chase Platinum: Apply online and get
approved instantly," had 48,951,817 impressions and was seen by a
unique audience numbering 6,156,469.
The No. 4 ad, which
advertised the Shell platinum card, garnered 45,609,448 impressions and a
unique audience of 5,883,831, while the No. 9 banner, plugging the
Continental Airlines card, had 19,641,711 impressions and reached a unique
audience of 5,416,529.
According to
Nielsen//NetRatings, the J.P. Morgan Chase credit card banners ran primarily
on the Yahoo network, on sites such as chat.yahoo.com and sports.yahoo.com.
Overall, J.P. Morgan
Chase was the No. 6 online advertiser for the week; its ads reached a
total of 12,809,239 unique users, with 174,859,989 impressions.
J.P. Morgan Chase banners
have long been a presence on the Nielsen charts. Just last week the
company was the No. 10 online advertiser and occupied slots No. 8 through
10 in terms of widely-viewed banners.
For the month of June, a
banner advertising the J.P. Morgan Chase-Shell platinum card was the
seventh-most viewed banner on the internet, and J.P. Morgan Chase was the No. 15
online advertiser.
Although it doesn’t
tie in to the current banner onslaught, the banking giant’s other big
internet push is its Chase i-Card, a credit card specifically geared
toward online shoppers. Studies show that 80 percent of internet users
will participate in e-commerce by 2003, and the banking behemoth clearly
wants a piece of the action.
