Last year, Cyber Monday was the heaviest online spending day in history, with a reported $7.87 billion in sales. Meanwhile, Thanksgiving and Black Friday experienced significantly above-average growth rates as they become more important shopping days for e-commerce. This means promotional campaigns should be launched by early November, with pacing plans in place to allow for increasing your media spend in the week before Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Best Practices for Native Programmatic Advertising

Native advertising is an effective way for your brand to capture attention and build relevance. By definition, native advertising refers to content in an online publication that resembles the publication’s editorial content, but is paid for by an advertiser. The goal is ultimately to promote the advertiser’s product, without blatantly showing a banner ad advertising that product or service. The key to success is to fit your content seamlessly in the environment it appears in, without disrupting the user experience, but instead adding value to it.
