Demographic targeting is a key marketing segmentation strategy often used in online ad placements.
Demographic ad targeting is another key marketing segmentation strategy often used in online ad placements. At Advertising Hub, we use demographic targeting data for nearly every ad placed.
The demographic selected also helps dictate the content and tone within the ad. For example, if your target audience is under 25 years old, single with no kids, we’d use content and word phrasing appealing to the younger subset vs. that of a 35-year-old married with children. It helps us further cater to your audience and serve them with credible and valuable ad content.
What is demographic targeting?
Using demographic targeting for ads is not a new concept. It’s been used for decades within more traditional advertising streams such as radio and television. With the advent of piles of data generated online, the ability to parse the information and drill it down even further occurred. Today, online demographic targeting includes such demographic factors as age, gender, income, occupation, ethnicity and religion, family structure (single, married, etc.).
