Many freelancers, like people who create ads, start their businesses as drop shippers and digital product promoters. Let us analyze one type of marketing: interrupt marketing.
What is Interrupt Marketing?
Interrupt marketing promotes a brand or product by sending bound-to-watch ads, promotional videos, messages, or emails. It is usually denoted as an annoying version of traditional marketing because it “interrupts” a viewer’s attention.
Some of the significant interrupt marketing tools include:
- Mail Campaigns
- Telemarketing calls
- Email campaEmailTelevision & radio ads
- Interstitial or transitional online ads
- Pre-roll ads
A completely new, evolved wing of interrupt marketing is discoverability marketing. Discoverability marketing means offering people products based on their purchase or browsing history.
Is it useful?
Interrupt marketing is like forcing someone to eat, even when they are not hungry. This isn’t always beneficial. However, viewers might get interested several times, but mostly nobody likes interruptions. Apps come with a premium subscription to avoid any buffering or interruptive ads.
It’s an annoying practice to promote different services and products on the digital platform.
Can they ever be beneficial?
Imagine you are watching a movie, and suddenly, a pop-up regarding a social cause or helpful something comes up. Many times, these pop-ups increase awareness and remind people of certain things. For example, a hygiene campaign ad between the movie or series will surely be informative and give a bite of information to the completely uninterested audience in a vital subject. These are annoying but sometimes a necessary evil to deal with.
