Step-By-Step Approach To Start Native Advertising

These are the ways on how to start native advertising

First, don’t disrupt- go with the content flow

Advertisements, native and not, should not take over our small smart screens. Non-intuitive ads will attract more people. Your ads should be presented in the same flow as the content that people are looking for.

Go mobile-first, not mobile-friendly

Mobile-first is more than just matching the ad format with the design of a website or app. This strategy takes advantage of mobile’s unique capabilities. Mobile is an entirely new environment.

Mobile-friendly simply means you can access the content via a mobile device. Mobile-first is the way we should create ads and content.

Align with user intent

Your brand should align native advertising with user intention. Targeting options should be as discrete as the users’ intentions.

Align with the device’s physicality

Mobile native advertising must be engaging and take advantage of the amazing capabilities of mobile devices. Make sure you acknowledge their physicality.
