Faced with a plethora of online ads, many consumers have developed ‘banner blindness,’ with lots of consumers admitting they largely ignore online display ads or find them irrelevant. The resulting challenge for publishers and advertisers is to find ad formats that engage viewers without disrupting the user experience. Cxense’s 3D ads enable products and images to rotate and ‘pop’ off the screen, without annoying flashing, expanding or unwanted sound effects. It is a subtle yet distinct way to capture reader interest (using any type of device). Displaying three-dimensional ads adds a premium feel to sites, and showcases the brands using this unique format.
Although 3D advertising is a new concept, interest for the capability exists in the industry. In a recent survey Cxense conducted, more than three quarters (77%) of publishing executives expressed interest in displaying and selling 3Ds ads on their sites, as long as they don’t present a hassle for the publishers or their advertisers.
The new 3D capability is available as part of Cxense’s advertising products, which are Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions. Cxense offers industry-leading ad serving capabilities for display, rich media, video, and mobile advertising, alongside their analytics and data management capabilities. These tools enable publishers to target segments of users based on interest, intent, device, context and more.
Benefits of Cxense 3D advertising include:
- No special coding requirements: 3D ads use normal HTML
- Works on all devices, including mobile, tablets and desktops
- Can be used with any size or format, including all standard Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) formats
- Consumers can view the 3D ads without Adobe Flash, which doesn’t work on many devices
“Not only have we created this 3D ad capability, we can also help publishers target the right consumers with these eye-catching images,” said Raman Bhatnagar, CEO of Cxense. “Through our advanced analytics and data management solutions, we know who is looking for what products, how best to target them, and how to present the products in the most engaging way.”
