Display Advertising
Display ads are one of the most popular types of online marketing. Marketers use this tactic to target specific users with particular traits to boost the ads’ effect. If your goal is building your dispensary, generating leads, or increasing conversions, and you haven’t been using display ads, you’ve been missing out a lot.
When you create display ads that target the right audience with the right message, you have a high chance of increasing brand awareness and ROI.
But, how do marketers know who to target?
Marketers use cookies, which keeps information of users whenever they visit your website. Cookies can track whether a user left without purchasing anything so that the marketer can retarget the user in other sites they visit.
So, what exactly is display advertising?
What is display advertising?
Display advertising is a form of advertising a product or service using images, graphics, videos, text, animations, or logos through social media platforms or third-party websites.
Display ads are placed on designated areas of a website and are divided into three basic categories:
- Site placement advertising whereby the marketer chooses the website they would like their ads to appear.
- Contextual advertising makes use of networks to place ads on relevant websites. For example, showing an advertisement for a dispensary on a cannabis dispensary website.
- Remarketing display ads appear in front of users who visited your website and left without completing a relevant conversion goal.
Types of display advertising
There are three main types of display advertising campaigns:
As the name suggests, this is typically retargeting your target audience. The main goal of retargeting is to re-engage your customers with the product or service you offer.
Also known as behavioral marketing, retargeting relies on how users behave while on your website in order to deliver highly relevant ads.
You can build your retargeting list based on the users’ behavior and interactions on your dispensary website. For example, you want to retarget users who view your product line but leave the page without making any purchase.
This would be ideal for your retargeting campaign as you follow them with relevant ads with an attempt to get them back to your online dispensary.
Acquisition campaigns are for everyone, especially for new and small businesses. While the cost of running display acquisition campaigns can be very high, if executed with a polished product or service, the end result is rewarding.
Brand awareness is part of display advertising. The primary goal is to influence the target audience to get interested in your dispensary rather than direct conversions. While the awareness campaign has a broader reach, you need a relevant audience.
