Investing in another channel to complement an existing campaign, for example, investing in digital when running on TV, is what we’d call harvesting. We call this harvesting because you’re effectively reaping the rewards of what’s happening with the above the line activity.
Make sure your online marketing and messaging is aligned with your TV advertising. This includes a specific, consistent call to action through TV and in your ad copy. If you’re running on TV with no online activity, or online activity that isn’t aligned, chances are your competitors will be able to steal that traffic/interest online.
