MURFREESBORO — The
next “MTSU On the Record” radio program will explore the reasons why a major
social media site has challenges with advertising effectiveness.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Dr. Michelle Beauchamp, assistant
professor of marketing at MTSU, is scheduled to air from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Monday,
July 29, and from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 4, on WMOT-FM (89.5 and www.wmot.org).
Beauchamp’s work was published in the January/February 2013
edition of The Journal of Applied Business Research. And, while recent reports
show Facebook’s stock rising significantly, Beauchamp’s research finds that
Facebook’s low click-through rates and negative user perceptions of Facebook
ads could turn off corporate sponsors.
A click-through rate is the number of times a click is made
on an online advertisement divided by the total number of times the ad was
served to the users.
Despite having nearly1 billion users, four out of five users
say they never have bought a product or service based on Facebook advertising.
