DIGITAL MARKETING STRATEGY: USING THE GOOGLE DISPLAY NETWORK (GDN)


The Display Network is a collection of partner websites and specific Google websites including Google Finance, Gmail, Blogger, and YouTube that show AdWords ads. This network also includes mobile sites and apps. If you've ever seen an AdWords ad on your favorite news site or in your Gmail account, and wondered how it got there, now you know: Websites like these are part of the Google Display Network.
When showing ads on the Display Network, you can reach a wide range of customers with broad interests, choose which sites or pages to appear on, and engage users with appealing ad formats. for example a fashion ecommerce company is expected to display her products like shoes, bags, clothes for the customers to identify their needs and make their choice, also when carrying out a particular advert campaign which is a form of marketing, 70% of the advert campaign would be done through display marketing.
HOW TO REACH NEW CUSTOMERS WITH GDN
Capture someone's attention at different points in the buying cycle. For example, if you run an art supply store, you can catch a mom's eye when she's reading reviews about the best brands of washable paints, but before she puts her toddler in the car seat and heads out to buy. Google Display Network helps create customer attention which lead to customer enquiry and engagement and this is where the search engine optimization comes in handy. In fact display marketing has grown to the point where there are search display ads. The Google Display Network lets you put your message in front of potential customers at the right place and at the right time in several ways.
Reach users by keywords and topics: Using contextual targeting, AdWords finds the best places for your ad across the Google Display Network, based on your keywords. This can help you show your ad to an audience that’s interested in your business and more likely to take action.
Choose specific sites or pages: Put your message on the websites you think are the best matches for your business using placement targeting. By adding managed placements, you can show your ad on specific WebPages, online videos, games, RSS feeds, and mobile sites and apps that you select. You can even block your ads from sites you don't think are relevant.
Find user who are already interested in what you have to offer: Show your ads on Display Network websites to specific groups of people. You can reach people who visited your site before by creating a remarketing campaign, or customers interested in specific categories, by adding interest categories. Then, you can show them highly relevant messages as they browse other sites on the Google Display Network.

ACCESS TO SELECT WHERE YOUR ADS APPEAR
Within the Display Network, you can choose more specifically where you want your ads to appear you can select types of pages or specific websites for your ads, as well as audiences to show your ads to. Research has shown that various customers who purchase items online or offline make use of the internet to research during pre-purchase, either to identify the ecommerce companies location through directory list, product capability and price comparison, discount offers, pricing, customer reviews and so on.

THE REACH OF THE DISPLAY NETWORK AND HOW IT WORKS
From millions of partner websites, news pages, and blogs to Google websites including Gmail and YouTube, the Display Network can help you show your message to more customers.
The Display Network reaches 83% of unique Internet users around the world (source: Ad Planner), including people speaking more than 30 languages in over 100 countries. To help make sure your ads appear on high-quality sites and products, all websites and products in the Display Network are reviewed and monitored by Google.
Display advertising does the “heavy lifting” early in the consumer decision-making process of driving awareness and consideration, and it’s often only because they had this initial exposure that a user will come back later and convert. This return visit often gets credited to search marketing, as the user will often go and search for the brand or relevant category terms (and then click on a paid search link, for example). 
DECIDING IF THE DISPLAY NETWORK IS RIGHT FOR YOU
If you're interested in attracting customers and delivering a compelling message about your business, advertising on the Display Network can work for you. Display ads for example, video or image ads can really boost the performance of your online ad campaigns and leave an impression on customers.
Here are some common goals that you can achieve by advertising on the Display Network:
·         Sell more products or services
·         Build customer loyalty
·         Engage with customers
·         Increase brand awareness
Finally it is great ideal to deploy an integrated online marketing strategy that includes both search and display in order to maximize reach and conversions. You may find that while search drives more direct conversions, the volume is not sufficient to generate the number of leads you’re looking for. This is where you may look at scaling up your display advertising investment to drive search volume, hence the need for a marketing mix.
