Your audience spends so much time online. A targeted display advertising campaign is a great way to find and promote your business to them. People usually need to see a message 7x on average before they take action, and those who are retargeted by banner ads are 70% more likely to convert. If your business is not utilizing the power of display advertising, it’s time to start!
This Month’s Marketing Must: Display Advertising
It’s now easier than ever to find your target audience while they browse the web, scroll their social feeds, and watch videos online. Consider starting off by remarketing to your past customers and website visitors to bring them back to your site through display advertising. It is a form of digital advertising where your ads are shown on various websites, like a local news site or shopping site, typically in a banner form.
- Make the most of remarketing lists and lookalike audience targeting options.
- Include animated visuals to grab your audience’s attention by simply changing out images, text, and offers
- Users have an average interaction time of just 9.31 seconds. Avoid pushing more than one message or product.
- Combine Display with other digital marketing solutions like Search and SEO to boost conversion rates.
