Retargeting Display Ads
Remarketing display ads are also known as retargeting display ads. These ads are shown to visitors who have visited your website or interacted with your landing page but did not complete the pre-set necessary conversion goal e.g. complete checkout process. Remarketing display advertising allows you to shed a light on your offer’s/brand’s value for your target audiences who left your website, urging them to reconsider your company whenever they need.
Animated Display Ads
Animated display advertising allows you to engage your audience using animation, video and music. While animated advertising is not guaranteed to achieve better results, including more than one image will always better grab viewer’s attention. One of the most significant advantages of employing animated display advertising is that marketers have more variables to optimize, hence to examine the historic data and plan on the success of the upcoming campaigns.
Embrace Nativeness
Native advertising is a type of advertising that seeks to fit the content of the website page. This is intended to make the display advertising messages less in-intrusive to the users. If you are going for a soft-selling approach in which your display ads look more like a recommendation, native advertising is something to consider. Turning your display ads with the nativeness could be done through altering parameters such as content relevancy, choice of websites and audience preference.
