Only 20% of US television advertisers clearly showcase on their websites the products they promote on-air, according to a recent report from wywy.

Some 40% of advertisers in the US do not display the products showcased on-air at all on their desktop-accessible homepages; 15% show the products with compromised visibility; and 25% include the products as part of a rotating slideshow, the analysis found.

Advertisers in the UK and Germany, the other two markets examined in the report, are doing slightly better, with 22% and 25%, respectively, clearly showcasing products online.

Below, additional key findings from the report, which was based on data from 100 advertisers across a wide range of industries in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany that advertised on television in September and October, 2014.
