Last year I wrote an article about the future of mobile app advertising. So the future has come: we started to provide advertising spots in mobile apps. Keep on reading why in-app advertising is a goldmine for marketers and how to launch an ad campaign in ClickAdilla.
Users spend more time in Apps
In-app advertising is the most popular type of digital advertising that generates millions of dollars for thousands of apps worldwide. Apps are capturing users’ attention. The time that consumers spend in applications is more than 7 times higher than in mobile browsers (3:41 vs. 0:24). Every second user opens more than 11 applications daily.
In-app banners are perfect for mobile app promotion. Buying ads in apps is one of the best ways to increase the number of installs. Users view ads during app usage. So banner ads of other apps would be the most up-to-context for consumers.
Apart from app developers, In-app advertising is becoming increasingly popular for:
- Direct advertisers
- Agencies
- Media buyers
Hybrid apps
The switch from web versions of a site to mobile apps is a trend of the last few years. In particular, an increasing amount of affiliate offers are packed into Hybrid apps. This is a native app that users can find in the App Store or GooglePlay. It looks like an app, but technically it’s a wrap of a mobile website. This method reduces development costs and allows media buyers to maximize their profits quickly.
