24. 2. 202624. 2. 2026
TV ads drive purchase behavior for 49% of consumers, making them the most effective channel, even though 36% find them disruptive, according to a January report from DISQO.

Beyond the chart:

TV's effectiveness has some science behind it. Across generations, 43% of US adults say TV is the most acceptable place for advertising, according to Tenetic and CivicScience, and linear TV boosts purchase intent by 9.6%, outpacing lifts on CTV and digital.

Meanwhile, social media's purchase-driving power is growing beyond the scroll. Some 34% of US TV viewers have bought merchandise inspired by a show, and 31% have shopped using QR codes or links during a show, according to Horowitz Research, suggesting the line between TV viewing and social commerce is collapsing.
