What is consideration advertising?
Consideration advertising is about introducing new audiences to your business and building lasting connections with them. It's what you might refer to as driving discovery, connecting with shoppers, or mid-funnel marketing.
Why consideration advertising is important
Consideration advertising builds on your brand awareness as part of a full-funnel marketing strategy. Shopping is more than a process of selection based on functionality and price point: customers want to get to know your brand. Driving consideration means educating audiences about your brand, differentiating your business from competitors, and developing loyalty among shoppers.
