eBay.co.uk is launching mobile advertising opportunities for brands across mobile web and the eBay app from November 2014
Native Ad Placement running solely on the eBay homepage to guarantee 100% share of voice.
3 main opportunities:
(1) Combined mobile + desktop homepage takeover (for audience extension): Target all daily visitors to eBay regardless of devices by running a Desktop and Mobile HPTO. (2) Mobile homepage takeover: Deliver your message to every UK eBay user on the homepage for 24 hrs. Your brand is guaranteed to be delivered to 100% of eBay app users. (3) Targeted mobile homepage domination: Segment the eBay audience by demograph or shopping behaviours. Ideal for partnerships
• True audience extension
• Reach of shoppers in-market for your product
• Partnership opportunities with #1 retail app
• Sales channel (50% of ebay.co.uk sales are 'touched' by mobile)
Native ad placement, so eBay will build and host your ad creative on your behalf and guarantee its delivery across all resolutions for all devices (iOS, Android as well as mobile web)
Ads can click off eBay to an approved mobile optimised page or to an eBay brand page (also mobile optimised)
Allow 3 weeks for creative sign off, build and testing
