Part 1. What is push ads?
Advertising web push notifications (or push ads, push advertising, push traffic) is a kind of native ads in affiliate marketing. It looks like a private message or important notification from the website which appears on the screen over the other windows.
Push ad can be sent to any user of mobile phone, usual desktop, laptop, and tablet. In other words, to any device with a browser and Internet connection.
How push ads look like on different devices
While most users have adapted to the abundance of ads ignoring banners, push ads have a significant advantage. They are hard to miss on any device but, at the same time, they don’t look like ads.
A push ad is located on the screen over the other windows. On the laptop, it appears in the right lower corner. It is very much alike to messages from messengers that’s why we have to perforce view its content.
The message can be viewed on the screen for a few minutes so the user can read the content and click on it.
How the push ads looks like
Push ad consists of:
- the main image which conveys the sense of the offer;
- the small icon which explains the main photo;
- the headline is the main element to engage users;
- the message text shows the main details of the offer.
Usually, push notification ads consist of all the listed elements but on mobile devices, it is sent in the short form without the main image. To see the main image you should expand push.
Push advertising is relevant for the most ambitious or even crazy ideas. Its look is limited only by the template (the size of the main image icon, the number of symbols for the text). As for the rest, your imagination is limited to nothing but the content policy of each ad traffic network.
