Display ads launch tips
- Try to use the maximum number of available Social Bar templates
This way, you will reach the maximum number of users on various platforms. How come? Many Publishers allow all types of creatives of different sizes on their platforms. But not all Publishers work, for example, with Interstitials. Therefore, using only this format, you will not be seen by users of sites whose owners allow only In-Page Push, and vice versa.
- Try to maintain a common identity for every campaign element
Suitable for creatives, the corporate style of the product, and the landing page. Such advertising inspires much more trust.
- Do not mislead users
If the text of your banner promises 10 euros for registering an account, the user must receive this bonus. Otherwise, it will greatly undermine the client’s trust and make them go to competitors.
- Divide traffic by sources
Create separate campaigns for each OS from which you want to receive traffic. This way, you can assign different payments for conversions from users with Android and iOS and make adjustments more accurately through bid-manager.
- Add a language target to the campaign settings*
*If your landing page/pre-landing page or creative contains texts in the local language. This way you will hide the display of your ads to non-target users.
