Reaching New & Expectant Moms with Native Advertising
Reaching new and expectant mothers with targeted digital advertising can be a challenge. There are hundreds of different websites and sections which cater to new and expectant moms and there are many different types of ad vehicles to choose from. There are pregnancy specific sites like the American Pregnancy Association and health sites like Sharecare.com, Drugs.com or Facty.com, all of whom provide rich content sections dedicated to new and expectant moms. Tap Native ad units are integrated into all four of these websites and hundreds of similar sites serving new or expectant mothers too. Our goal in integrating our ad units across these sites was to unfragment similar content and audiences to create a useful channel for marketers. Marketers of pregnancy tests, prenatal vitamins, pregnancy classes, breast pumps, baby formula, diapers, bottles and cribs are now using preset therapeutic categories to target their offer into relevant content. Using pre-set content targets is simple and displays your native ad on pages containing specific relevant content. Pre-set contextual targets include:
- Fertility
- First, Second and Third Trimester
- OBGYN
- Infant Care / Infant Health
- Pediatric Health
- Toddler Health
- Children’s Health
- Teen Health
In addition, you can target specific keywords like “baby formula”, “pregnancy test” or “prenatal vitamins.” Native ads are far more efficient at creating engagement. Specifically, unbranded, content recommendation style, image+text ads placed within editorial content are exponentially more effective at creating user engagement than display ads, sponsored posts and even search links. Creating engagement also means enjoying a health focused environment where the signal to noise ratio is higher than on news sites, divisive political sites or noisy pop culture sites. Most importantly, creating true engagement using native formats is a combination of ideal site content and context, ad placement, ad format and catching your target audience at the right time and in the right frame of mind. That’s a lot of conditions that simply aren’t met in most other online environments. Here’s an example of a Tap Native ad unit on the American Pregnancy Association Website. Note the content style and that its in the content well, not on the right rail where ads are typically placed.
