Display Branding and Retargeting is one of the most effective ways to achieve awareness, loyalty and website traffic. This is often overlooked or not even thought of during the traffic building process for your website. Let ranktrust.io display branding experts help your business drive more website visitor conversions.<\/p>\n
Simply put, display advertising is a way to attract an audience to your social media account or to your website. Usually, display advertising is presented in the form of an image, a video, or text which encourages the visitors of the website to click past the landing page; the ultimate goal is for the visitor to make a purchase.<\/p>\n CPC (cost per click) is the underlying principle of most display advertising campaigns. This means that every time a prospective customer clicks on your advertisement you are charged a small amount.<\/p>\n Our Atlanta brand awareness team also works with display advertising that can also be used for retargeting your online advertising campaign. This means that the advert is only shown to a specific audience that has already visited a certain website.<\/p>\n We have found through extensive testing that Display ads brings new traffic to your website and is typically responsible for up to 40% more direct and search results. Why? We put a little secret sauce in the ads that makes it happen because approximately half of all ad viewers won\u2019t click on the ads, however they will go directly to your website or look you up on Google or one of the major search engines.<\/p>\n Various forms of display ads.<\/strong><\/p>\n There are several different forms display advertising can take; one of the oldest forms is \u201cbanner ads\u201d. These types of ads usually appear on the top of the webpage in the shape of a banner (hence the name).<\/p>\n The second type is interstitial ads; these are the special web pages that are presented to users before they can access the page they originally requested.<\/p>\n The third type is rich media ads that include video, audio, and various other elements you can click on.<\/p>\n And last but not least there are video ads that you frequently encounter on YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms. Video ads provide an excellent return on investment because they allow you to connect to your audience on a personal level and influence them better.\u00a0At RankTrust we are experts at all of these types of display ads, and are here help the business owners of Atlanta enhance their marketing strategy.<\/p>\n This new trend of using Digital Display Ads is so powerful that it has taken over search, it\u2019s even taken over the GIGANTIC Television Industry. So, for you and for me, we need to be focused on seeing how digital advertising, when it comes to digital advertising can be effective for our company.<\/p>\n So, YOUR business needs new customers. True? I mean, it is obvious — YES!\u00a0 Here\u2019s the question though, for each one of us to answer\u2026<\/p>\n What\u2019s the number one way to get new business to your site? What\u2019s the number one way to get new customers? What\u2019s the number one way to get a business new customers right now?<\/p>\n Well, the answer is simple. We need to get more people in front of your products and services. The answer is MORE TRAFFIC.<\/p>\n The pros and cons of display advertising.<\/strong><\/p>\n All marketing activities have their pros and cons and display advertising is no exception.<\/p>\n So, let\u2019s have a look at all the advantages first. We always tell our Atlanta customers that the biggest benefit of display advertising is diversity; these types of ads come in many shapes and sizes and you can choose the format which is most appropriate for your business\/product. The second biggest advantage is the reach. If you have a Google Ads account you can access millions of websites. The third advantage is targeting; the extensive reach of the Google Display Network allows you to place your ads on specific websites and target a specific audience. And, last but not least, the data is easy to analyze. You can track the exact number of clicks, audience impressions, and conversions through your Google Ads account. If you want to track the performance of your campaign in more detail you can use Google Analytics.<\/p>\n And now let\u2019s have a look at some of the disadvantages of display advertising. \u201cBanner blindness\u201d means that because audiences are bombarded with dozens of display ads on a daily basis human brain has adjusted and learned to ignore them. The second con is ad blocker which is increasing in popularity year after year. But keep in mind that both of these large obstacles can be circumvented by either remarketing or by presenting the users with an option of either purchasing a subscription or allowing ads.<\/p>\n Display advertising strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n Just like with any other marketing strategy, your display advertising strategy should start with setting a goal, and only then should you formulate a specific strategy that can help you achieve this goal.<\/p>\n Some examples of the goals you can set are building brand awareness, generating leads, attracting abandoned customers with the help of retargeting, using the buying process to nurture leads, etc. However, observations of various display advertising campaigns showed that they are most effective when the goals are building and maintaining brand awareness, and fostering brand loyalty.\u00a0Atlanta businesses that are looking to enhance their brand awareness, should start with google and retargeting ads!<\/p>\n Getting the display network targeting right.<\/strong><\/p>\n Display network targeting is a crucial part of your advertising campaign. Without proper targeting, you will simply be wasting your money by showing your ads to people who will never purchase your products or services. Fortunately, there are many different targeting options that can help you narrow down your audience. You can utilize keyword to targeting, demographic targeting, or interest targeting. You can also target visitors of specific websites (placement targeting) or target a group of websites connected by a common topic (topic targeting). Also, you can exclude certain websites if you don\u2019t want your ad to appear there (this is called display targeting exclusion).<\/p>\n In the end, you must spend as much time as needed to get your audience targeting as close to perfect as you can, otherwise you will not see significant results from your display advertising efforts, you will simply be wasting your money.<\/p>\n Retargeting is one of the most powerful and inexpensive marketing strategies revealed. A lot of people don\u2019t know this but 96% of website visitors never contact you when they visit your site the first time. Retargeting solves this problem by literally capturing 100% of all website visitors and allows you to market to them after they leave your website that you worked so hard on.<\/p>\n A way to get your website visitors to come back to your site and take the desired action (buy).<\/p>\n With retargeting you only target users that have already experienced your brand and visited your site. We show them ads as they surf around the internet on over 2 million sites and apps.<\/p>\n After placing a retargeting pixel on your website, a cookie is placed on visitor\u2019s browsers. After websites are visited that allow display ads, it checks to see if the cookie is present and then shows your ad(s). At ranktrust.io we follow those visitors for up to 90 days until they\u2019re ready to purchase your products or services. Like everything else in digital marketing it takes a little time but once it starts working it works extremely well.<\/p>\n 1. Prospect visits your website to gather more information. 96% of those visitors never contact you.2. While they visit your site we track and drop a retargeting pixel in their browser as this captures 100% of your website visitors.<\/p>\n 3. When your prospect is browsing other sites, you stay in front of them by showing your ads which in return builds awareness and trust.<\/p>\n 4. The best types of retargeting ads that convert visitors the most to come back to your site are Branding Ads, Reputation Ads, and Offer Ads.<\/p>\n A<\/a> Considering SEO services for your website?
