Social Bar Format Guide

A search for the best ad-format solution unites us all: from complete beginners to seasoned pros. And this is where Adsterra comes into play: we have something to offer you. And, more precisely, what to acquaint you with!

Let us introduce you to the guest of our today’s interview: Social Bar format.

What is a Social Bar?

– It’s a push format with no opt-ins required. They call it The One Who Breaks The Limits. It may sound a bit self-confident, but it’s too customizable to be modest. It’s native, interactive, and includes:

  • In-page push notifications — catchy animated icons invite users to click or react and can be customized or branded to the template widgets.
  • Social media elements — imitate messages in a recognizable style and are truly interactive, so they don’t annoy, which is a great plus.
  • Multimedia — immersive video or animated content of maximum engagement; tip: try to use slow-mo animation for new gadgets’ ads.
  • Data collection — collect users’ emails in the ad widget to increase CR five-fold and add irresistibility to the messages.
  • Action-boosting tweaks — animation is a key here; it can be for coupons, countdowns, and product carousels.

Why does Social Bar work?

– Full customization helps make the content so engaging that ROI boosts drastically. By the way, publishers appreciate the chance to achieve higher CPMs with over $300 weekly revenue from the start.

nb: the theory is one thing, but the practice is quite another. Here you can read a real case of using Social Bar with 151% ROI on the example of a mobile application (by the way, it comes from India, and this is not a coincidence! ;) ).

What’s in it for advertisers?

– Here are the persuasive statistics: Social Bar gives 20-30x higher CTR than web push. In addition, you get zero AdBlock troubles and receive 100% unique traffic. It’s also possible to reach iOS users and take up to 15 creatives for the test campaign.

And what about benefits for publishers?

– The best thing is larger revenues from the start and a straightforward installation process that takes literally 1 minute and a single line of code. Not much space is needed, and a totally browser-friendly format is also a plus.

What’s this format best for?

– That’s a complex one! As Social Bar has five inclusions, each one has its preferred best-fors:

  1. Native notifications work perfectly for apps, add-ons, web services, antiviruses, cleaners, and graphic and video software.
  2. Social media elements are great for apps and e-commerce.
  3. Multimedia works especially well for sports streaming and consumer electronics and games.
  4. Data collection stands for e-commerce, sweepstakes, and subscriptions.
  5. Action-boosting tweaks are an excellent choice for seasonal sales, ecommerce, apps, and games.
