5 Reasons Why You Should Consider Native Advertising for Your Content Distribution Strategy

Native Ads don’t feel like an advertisement. People are more likely to engage with them while they are consuming content.

Native Ads Create a Better Experience With the Brand

71% of US internet users believe banner ads are more intrusive now than ever before (Millward Brown). But Native Ads blend into the form and function of a publisher’s site, provide content previews and provide value – they are designed to inform, educate, and entertain. 59% of consumers find Native Ads interesting (Power of Native Report) and are looked at 53% more frequently than display ads (Sharethrough).

%

Consumers Want Content

70% of US internet users want to learn about products through content versus traditional advertisements (MDG Advertising). ⅔  of Generation X and Z consumers trust branded content more than traditional advertising (Time Inc. study).

Native Ads Pierce Through Ad Clutter

Consumers tune out Banner and Display ads. Only 0.05% of users click on banner ads (SmartInsights) at all, as rising distrust has led users to ignore them completely – a phenomenon now dubbed “Banner Blindness.” On the other hand, 85% of internet users don’t feel their browsing experience is hindered at all by Native Ads (Adweek), and nearly ⅔ of consumers find Native Ads interesting and informative (NAI). Users are TWICE as likely to click on Native Ads (SmartInsights).

Native Performs Through the Funnel

Native ads register an 18% higher lift in purchase intent than standard banner ads and have proven to boost in-store traffic by 21% – and more efficiently than standard display ads (Sharethrough).

Publishers Are Shifting to Accommodate Native

The digital landscape has shifted. Publishers are developing their sites to accommodate more Native placements, including 75% of US publishers offering opportunities for placement already (NAI). By 2020 almost ⅔ of display spending will shift to Native, making Native Advertising a $53 billion business (eMarketer, March 2019). Native IS the new format.
