We have entered an era where people spend more time online than they spend with their near and dear ones. The 21st-century online audience is constantly switching between different devices while expecting the most personalized experience. For advertisers and publishers, it becomes increasingly important to maintain connectivity across all channels — and this can only be achieved with cross-platform advertising.
Cross-platform/channel advertising refers to the process of disseminating paid advertisements to prospects across multiple devices like desktop, mobiles, tabs, etc. and on a variety of digital marketing channels like social media, streaming platforms, search engines, and so on. The ultimate goal is to direct consumers toward purchasing a product or service.
Well, to put this straight- getting hold of your customers’ attention can be a tough nut to crack when there are so many distractions fluttering around. This is especially true when there are innumerable channels to advertise a product or service online- including search, display, social media, mobile, video, etc. Then, when you consider multiple device types — mobile and desktop — the opportunities multiply even more.
While most brands are already utilizing one or two of each, expanding their strategy to include all of the above would ensure their message is reaching the right audiences at the right time, and delivering an optimal experience.
For achieving this, you must be where your consumer is- ie, the social media channels, websites they visit, and the devices they use. The ways of communication are expanding, and with it brings more opportunity to your business, brand, or agency. And this is exactly where cross-channel advertising excels.
Cross-platform advertising allows you to get the maximum out of your ads- it proliferates your message across several channels and extends your reach to attract your customer’s attention, no matter where they are. But equally important is getting your timing and targeting right. Without proper segmentation, it’s time, effort, and money getting wasted.
As consumers’ media consumption habits become increasingly fluid, it also becomes more difficult to track where they’re spending their time. So, how do you get your message across an ever-expanding audience? You guessed it right- through Retargeting.
A form of online advertising, retargeting is a cookie-based technology that uses Javascript code to anonymously ‘follow’ your audience all over the web showing related ads to their Internet behavior and initial purchase intent.
Since prospects rarely convert after coming across the first ad on web pages they visit, cross-channel advertising and retargeting becomes an effective tool for increased conversions. Marketing across multiple channels leads them on a persuasive ad journey, giving them more chances to convert on the ad offer.
By targeting prospects who have already shown interest in your ads on other channels, advertisers know they’re delivering more personalized ads to a receptive audience — and likely increase conversions and/or sales.
There are two options to execute a cross-channel ad campaign. The first option is the more difficult one where you do all the hard work, piece the data together yourself, and upload it into each channel individually. Or, you can opt for the easier option – use a platform like Muvi Ads to manage the entire process for you.
