Before you start doing mobile ads you need to know what's going on. Mobile advertising does more than just put ads on smaller screens. It is a unique ecosystem because it has its own rules and ways of working. You can see mobile ads on social media apps and mobile websites. There are many different kinds of mobile ads like banners and interactive videos.
The best thing about mobile ads is that they can reach so many people. According to a report from the Pew Research Center 81% of Americans own a smartphone. This means that ads on mobile devices are very effective. But it's not just about the amount. Mobile ads are even better because they can reach the right people with great accuracy and quality. You can group your audience by things like their age gender interests and even where they live.
In this fast paced digital age people want things to happen quickly and be useful. Mobile ads can do just that because they can give you real time updates and tell you where you are which traditional ads can't do. You need to know what your audience wants and how they act in order to run mobile ads. When you think about mobile don't just think about the phone you have in your pocket. Think about how people use the internet.
Content is the most important part of any ad plan and this is also true for mobile ads. But it can be hard to make the right content for a mobile ad. There isn't much space and people don't pay attention for very long. You have to get people's attention right away and keep things simple.
What do you do then? Be sure to make your point clear and strong. Your headline shouldn't have any flowery language or hard to understand jargon. It should get people's attention right away. Make it helpful. If you run a bakery in the area and are promoting a new spring menu tell people right away.
Next think about how it appears. According to Why images are so powerful—and what matters when choosing them studies show that people process visual information at an amazing speed of 13 milliseconds. If your mobile ad has good pictures it can make an instant connection. Use high quality photos or videos that not only look good but also clearly show what your brand is and what it stands for.
It's important to make sure your ads are as effective as possible after you've made interesting content. Finding the right keywords is just one part of optimization. It's also about making things simple for the user.
First check to see if your landing pages work well on phones and tablets. This means it loads quickly and looks good on small screens. Google cares a lot about how well a page works on mobile devices so a page that is slow and hard to use can hurt your visibility. Use tools like Google's Mobile Friendly Test to make your site easier to use.
Next do A/B testing to see what works best for your audience. Experiment with different headlines pictures calls to action and layouts. Instead of guessing look at the data to see which versions get the most interaction and then make changes based on that.
Budgeting is a key part of any advertising plan and mobile advertising is no different. You want to get the most value for your money without spending too much. What is the good news? You don't need a lot of money to get a lot of results from mobile ads.
Make your goals clear first. Do you want more people to find out about your brand go to your website or buy more? Your goals will help you figure out how to spend your money. When you set clear goals you know that every dollar you spend brings you closer to them.
Next put platforms that are good for your audience at the top of your list. If your customers are young professionals you might want to spend more on LinkedIn and Twitter. Instagram and Pinterest might be better choices if your audience is mostly visual like people who run lifestyle businesses. If you know where your audience spends time online you can avoid spending money on sites that aren't useful.
New technologies and changing consumer habits make the world of mobile advertising always changing. You need to keep up with trends to stay relevant and spring is the best time to try out new ideas.
One of the most important trends in mobile ads is making them more personal. It can be very helpful to change ads to fit each person's interests habits and past interactions. According to a report from Accenture 91% of customers like brands that suggest things based on their preferences.
Another trend that is taking over the mobile ad space is interactive content. People are more likely to remember and enjoy ads that let them interact with them like polls on Instagram Stories and mobile games you can play. Making your ads interactive can help you connect with potential customers on a deeper level.
As voice search tools like Alexa and Google Assistant become more common you should think about making your content easier to use with voice commands. This trend is growing and you can take advantage of it by making ads that answer simple questions or give quick fixes.
Read news about your field go to webinars that are relevant to your field and join online communities to stay up to date. Be ready to change your plan when things change. Your mobile ads will keep working and your business will keep growing through the spring and beyond if you stay flexible.
Making a good mobile advertising plan can be hard but if you break it down into these key parts your spring campaigns will not only do well but they will also set a good example for future success. Spring is the perfect time to get people's attention and boost sales like never before whether you write the perfect message or budget wisely.
