What is Native Advertising?
Native advertising is a method of promoting products or services using online media without disrupting the users’ experience. Native ads are often found on search engine results, social media feeds, or as a recommended content on a web page.
Unlike display ads, native ads don’t really look like ads. They look as though they are part of the content on a website or feeds on social media channels.
Why Native Advertising?
User experience is one of the essential factors businesses should consider when using a website to promote their products or services. People frequently visit websites that give them a good user experience. This is where display advertising falls short.
Display ads tend to become a disturbance to web users. People pretend to be blind to banner ads. Display ads can make a site profitable, but users might not come back anymore. With the use of native ads, user experience becomes a priority.
Since native ads look like a part of the web content, consumers most likely read them. According to a survey, consumers look at native ads 52% more than traditional banner ads. They even look at native ads more than the original editorial content. With the data given, there’s no reason not to consider using native ads to promote your business.
In terms of spending, native advertising is poised to overtake display advertising. In 2016, native ads already surpassed display ads in terms of ad dollars spent with over $16 billion in spending alone. That amount is projected to grow nearly $36 billion by 2021. Isn’t that a tremendous opportunity?
Indeed, native advertising is growing and ultimately becoming the new trend of digital marketing.
How Does Native Advertising Works?
The idea of native advertising is to make the ad content look and work as though it were not an ad but part of the regular content that your target audiences expect from a website or social media network.
When you search something in Google, you will see native ads labeled as “Ad” or “Sponsored”. These ads are called paid-for ads. These native ads cannot be seen as shown, particularly on their spot, if they are not paid for by the advertisers to the PPC network such as Google.
On social media sites such as Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, native ads are called promoted ads. They appear on your feed like any other posts from your friends or pages you follow.
