| Abstract: |
In response to increased avoidance of traditional banner advertising, publishers have turned to a subtler form of display advertising called native advertising. Unlike traditional banner ads, native ads are intentionally designed to be cohesive with editorial content and assimilated into the design of the publisher's website. We examine the performance of native advertising placements across three studies. In Study 1, we use a large dataset from a native advertising platform to examine the interplay of ad placement and ad content. We find that clicks are higher when ads are (1) delivered in-feed and (2) contain lower levels of selling intent, highlighting the interplay between the ad content and delivery. Study 2 confirms that in-feed placements experience higher clicks, but they also result in more bounces relative to in-ad placements. As a result, their effect on net visits is similar to in-ad placements at a higher cost. To further understand this phenomenon, we conducted a lab study (Study 3), which shows that when consumers are redirected to an advertiser's site from an in-feed (versus in-ad) placement they experience higher annoyance and, ultimately, higher bounce intentions and reduced advertiser purchase intentions.
