Explore New YouTube Advertising Opportunities
The average shopper hit dozens of digital touchpoints before ultimately visiting a website to make a purchase. Round out your advertising strategy by featuring your business on YouTube, one of the largest search engines in the world.
When you advertise your business on YouTube, you can reach more people age 18-49 than all traditional linear TV networks combined. Fortunately, YouTube advertising costs about a third of the price of other video advertising solutions and is a great entry point for advertising on video for the first time.
YouTube Advertising Strategies
Branded Focused Campaigns
Promote brand awareness with top-of-funnel advertising that targets in-market users through:
- Remarketing: Targeting previous website visitors and visitors who have been viewing specific pages on the dealer’s site.
- Custom Intent: Utilizes buying intent keywords paired with machine learning to create lists of in-market audiences with a greater likelihood of purchasing intent.
- Audience Interests: Google’s list of in-market audiences based on vehicle brand and type.
Dynamic Inventory Campaigns for Auto Dealers
Powered by proprietary Adpearance ad tech, dynamic inventory video advertising allows auto dealers to target potential customers with unique, model-specific ads. These ads feature in-stock inventory and up-to-date pricing while significantly reducing video advertising costs for your dealership.
Dynamic inventory campaigns on YouTube are incredibly cost-effective as you only pay when viewers click on or watch the entirety of your ad. Run precision-targeted remarketing and buying intent campaigns that feature your live inventory to audiences.
