Here are examples of similar articles:

15. Development and setup of contextual advertising in social networks

Not a single popular resource can do without contextual advertising. Its advantage is that it is easy to work with it. The principle of operation is also quite clear to everyone - we see how many times we clicked on an ad that is displayed on partner sites of search engines, and we pay for it. The result of promotion work with the help of contextual advertising is visible almost immediately. Therefore, for many young sites, this method seems ideal. Many well-known and promoted projects also like contextual advertising, because it gives an excellent result, providing owners with new customers. Consider the principle of working with contextual advertising. To do this, we turn to the services offered by Yandex and Google. There are several things to do here:

  • prepare a quality strategy for the implementation of an advertising campaign (AC);
  • define the keywords that will match the sentence;
  • create a new RC;
  • Create smart ads that will enhance the effect of the AC;
  • set bids and carefully monitor how the budget is replenished;
  • develop landing pages;

Without working with social networks, it is impossible to promote any project as efficiently as possible, because social networks collect a lot of customers. This area allows you to get a long-term result, which will manifest itself in brand recognition, building trust in it. Targeting advertising works well in social networks, with the help of which it is possible to accurately hit the target audience.

You should not ignore direct work in social networks - you should create a page or group, after which you need to develop it. Thanks to this, it will be possible to contact the found customers and keep existing customers interested in the company. For this you should:

  • publish posts that are interesting to a wide audience;

Mailing is an effective method that allows you to timely notify the client about the appearance of a new product, important company news and discounts. If everything is fine with the content strategy and the blog is systematically updated with new and interesting articles, it's time to start increasing the number of subscribers. Email marketing will help you retain subscribers and turn a potential customer into a regular customer with the help of well-chosen material.
