▶ Summary
It's no secret that these days people are more into mobile apps than browsers.
Mary Meeker - former Wall Street securities analyst working now on Internet and new technologies development recently provided a State of the Internet Report, according to which 89 percent of total time spent by smartphone users on any media is in mobile apps and only 11 percent on the mobile Web.
To specify, a good representation is Facebook with 41 percent of the overall revenue reached in approximately 12 months through mobile apps, from having almost no mobile advertising revenue before.
Of course, the transition has resulted in the ad spend model changes as well:
Why in-app ads?
According to Google statistics, the lowest CPI is demonstrated by “Search (+Pay)” type of ad campaign, however, with the lowest reach. Meanwhile, display advertising represents higher reach rate but with higher CPI accordingly.
On the other hand, the main goal of every marketer is not only to assist the potential customer to overcome the banner blindness, but also to catch the eye and stand out from other competitors.
But more interesting is how to succeed with spending less money?
On the average, CTR for apps today is 0.58% leaving average mobile Web’s CTR of 0.23% behind, thanks to the apps ability to pull demographic and direct geo-location data. Additionally, mobile applications assume ads to be rather natural than interruptive as in browsers to ensure a smooth and comfortable transition for current users of the app.
As in-app advertising offers a higher CTR than web advertising, it is obviously a “Must Have” for every marketer.
But to stand out from the competition that you will face in mobile app advertising, you need to know some instruments that will maximize your profits and make your ads eye-catching.
💡 Banner should definitely stand out, but more important is make it clear to understand.
