The word advertorial is a combination of advertisement and editorial. Typically, the content and design of an advertorial reads like a journalist’s piece and include more details than a traditional advertisement. It helps customers understand the product a company is trying to market and sell.
An advertorial is an advertisement presented in a format that looks like legitimate and original editorial content. The advertiser, or marketer, pays the publisher to publish their ad.
Unlike a traditional advertisement, advertorials look like regular editorial content and are even written in a way to give information about a product or service and not merely sell it. The advertorial can be written as if the marketer was an industry expert, giving details about the industry trends or how their product is better than its competitors.
Usually, publications include a disclaimer somewhere in the advertorial, telling readers that it is an advertisement and not the regular content.
Advantages of Using Advertorials
Here are a few advantages of using advertorials to advertise and market your services or products:
1. Intimacy of Engagement-
Advertorials are far more engaging than traditional ones because they provide your customers with in-depth information. When your content is engaging, it encourages customers to read the advertorial and take the desired action. Your customers are more likely to make a purchase and interact with you. A successful advertisement requires more than reading or watching a brief clip.
2. Educate Your Audience-
Advertorials help educate customers about the use and benefits of particular products and services. It helps brands promote informative content related to the targeted customer’s problem and shows why a product is the best solution for a customer’s problems. Providing the right information to the customers makes an advertorial a successful marketing strategy.
3. Knowledge is Social Currency-
Since advertorials can attract the attention of readers, they are then able to increase their knowledge on a certain topic to them. A problem is discussed with solutions provided and readers are then informed about certain advantages a product or service can provide to them. This is the purpose of advertorial advertising, providing the right information to consumers.
4. Attraction of a Different Kind-
Unlike normal advertisements that consumers are used to which are made for attracting people by exaggerating their product or service advertorial advertising is different and does not give that image. It is usually catchier than the usual advertisement with an interesting heading and compelling content to attract attention and interest from their readers.
