What is Programmatic Advertising?
Programmatic Advertising or Programmatic Marketing is indeed a vital component of digital marketing. Programmatic marketing really refers to the new technological way of advertising as an automated process of buying and placing digital ads-ad spaces purchased through a traditional manual means. It uses some algorithms and auctioning systems such as real-time bidding (RTB) to finely narrow down the target audience.
How it Works – Real-Time Ad Auction:
The moment a user opens any web page or an app, an ad auction occurs within a matter of milliseconds. More like the auctioneers, advertisers will also sometimes do an offer for the opportunity to show an ad based on what they have collected on viewing their advertisement: demographics, behavior, interests, etc. Then the ad with the highest bid will be displayed. It pulls data from various aspects such as age, location, interests, browsing history, etc. concerning a person.Thus, ads are shown to the most receptive audience. Ads will be incorporated into the advertisement space known by the mobile apps, various websites, social networking sites, or video-viewing platforms, thus creating a more seamless experience towards advertisement viewership across platforms.
Example:
You would have a fitness brand that sells yoga stuff. Now, Priya is a fitness addict, and she is scrolling in a yoga app.
Using programmatic, it will be as follows:
-The system understands that this app is used for fitness purposes and internet searches.
-It will put posted yoga leggings directly on her screen.
Now, as soon as she clicks on the ad, she would pay a visit to your website and buy something there.
Advantages:
Efficiency: Automated processes save time.
Precision: Personalization of ads increases engagement.
Cost-Effective: There is budget optimization and audience targeting.
