Online Display Advertising For Summer Camps

Online Display advertising, also known as banner ads, was the first type of advertising on the Internet. Sometimes confused with “pop-up” ads, display ads often get a bad rap for being overly annoying or intrusive. Although online display ads are the oldest form of internet advertising, when targeted accurately and efficiently, they are still a great way to reach your target audience at scale.

There are many ways you can run online display ads, from self-service through Google to running through a display network, there are numerous ways to reach your desired audience. A few things to think about when running your own online display campaign:

1) Think about who you want to reach and where you want to reach them: Age, interests, demographics, targeting etc.
