Online Marketing and Interstitials

Internet advertising has been gaining popularity ever since the launch of the Internet. Being an easy way to reach an audience, it enables a company to extend its reach to potential buyers across the world 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
There are many different ways to advertise online. Depending on your aim, target audience and your online advertising budget you can opt for either one method of online advertising or a combination of several methods.
One of the popular methods of online advertising is 'Interstitial Advertising'. Interstitial adverts or bride adverts are usually small pop-up boxes or web pages, which open up (rather, pop open) mysteriously while you are browsing the Internet. Since they open by themselves, the viewer is kind-of forced to view them (unless a pop-up blocker is already installed and enabled on your computer); however, you can close them if you are not interested in such ads. As a result you are sure that your message would get across to the target audience. So, in this way they provide your money's worth.
Interstitials are widely used by many advertisers but it is also true that many people consider them a nuisance. However, if interstitials are prepared in an interesting and eye-catching manner they will succeed in catching the attention of the audience without acting as a nuisance.
It is important that you carefully choose the website on which your interstitial would pop up or else the very purpose of your interstitial will be defeated. Moreover, your interstitial should be attractive and interesting enough to hold the attention of the viewer or else the viewer will simply close the interstitial and move on. So, like other types of online advertisements, it becomes essential that you build the 'right content' and the 'right look' for your interstitial.
The key to making a good interstitial is to make sure that you use bright colors. Follow good color schemes because that is what would attract the attention initially. Also make sure that the content is short and precise and gives the basic information about your product. Your message (the ad content) should be crisp and clear and to the liking of your target audience.
