THE 4 MUST KNOW FACTS WHEN YOU CONSIDER NATIVE ADVERTISING
PURPOSE - Native advertising campaigns should not be looked at like a standard ad campaign. Instead, native ad campaigns can include a level of education or information that might help lead the consumer to look more closely at what it is you are selling.
AUDIENCE - Native advertising allows you to open up your offering to previously untapped consumers.
CONTEXT - Native advertising allows you to turn any site, tv show or movie into a contextually relevant ad environment.
COST - A successful native advertising strategy should not necessarily cost you more than a regular advertising campaign. However, it does require more thought, more work and therefore more labour. Because of this, you should always aim for your native advertising campaign to have strict and strong KPI's attached.
